2.1. Background of Genzyme 2.1.1 Overview The Waterford plant has been established since 2001, since the establishment it has been taken over by Sanofi (2011). Genzyme is a pharmaceutical company producing drugs that before have been unmet, which help cure some rare and life threatening diseases. Genzyme with a constant increasing workforce is now at over 550 employees at the Waterford plant. This number set to massively increase with the expansion taking place the Waterford site in the coming months/years will be producing some of the Sanofi insulin products. With the rarity of the products the Genzyme plant are producing they get delivered to over 70 countries across the world. A brief description of the different manufacturing areas are …show more content…
These lines are divided up: 2 for Oral Dose tableting which are 2 high speed bottle filling, labelling and cartoning these lines are responsible for packing both Renagel and Renvela. There is also a sachet packaging line which is used for the Renvela product which goes through some of the Oral Dose processes before being packed. The facility also contains a high speed vial labelling and cartoning line which is dedicated to the products processed in the Fill Finish facility. 2.1.5 New Business The new business which is currently been developed is the Sanofi insulin products.

With the increase in volume a new warehouse will be built to accommodate the increased storage demand of the plant. 2.2. Validation 2.3. 5S 2.4. …show more content…
Change over times can often be the reasoning behind quite a low OEE figure. Changeover times are calculated from the last product off the line to the first good product of the next batch. Shingo’s method was based on a video timing study where he categorised the changeover tasks into internal and external tasks (internal being tasks that can only be completed when the operation/machine is not running). Since this SMED has developed with now having 3 categories, MUDA (waste) being added to the group. Once the tasks are grouped often times some of the internal tasks can be moved to external tasks. Moving these tasks often depend on the health and safety of operatives process technology and Quality. Tasks that get categorised as MUDA (Transportation, Inventory, Movement, Waiting, Over Production, Over Processing and Defects) often require the implementation of other Lean tools such as TPM to reduce variation and defects. [22]. SMED often affects any previous work carried out on Standard Works as tasks may get moved, removed or the time to do the task is reduced. Implementing both tools together into a work centre or process can often save time and double jobbing. Although having standard work in place prior to this may make the job of implementing SMED

The murder of Kitty Genovese took place on March 13th, 1964 outside of her apartment building in New York. She was attacked three separate times by Winston Moseley, the perpetrator. This particular murder got headline news due to the witnesses of the murder and what was done to intervene. The New York Times were a huge part of the headlines due to their original article written about the murder, which was said to be fabricated for attention purposes. The article claimed that 37-38 people were eye witnesses to the murder during the three different attacks, but no one decided to report the crime to the police which definitely raised some eyebrows.
It does not address product process mismatch. A new manufacturing process can be achieved. Improved morale of employees Sales & Service No major change in direct sales but issues arising from loss of product support and service Support sales and product line
To begin with, the lean methodology is one that is applicable to all industries, regardless of the present systems and approaches towards management (Tsironis & Psychogios, 2016). Therefore, the major decision is to proceed with the implementation of the lean and other improvement processes, even though it should take different approaches. When considering the challenges noted, most of them emerge from the reactions and actions of the
The last product that this company produces are the flow controllers. Flow controllers are products that are very customizable but are not as competitive on the market demanding higher prices. The planned gross margin for the flow controllers was 35% with an actual margin of 41.%. There was a significant increase without the loss of any business. The Wilkerson company have a quality leadership team; however, there are some things that needs to be changed for the company to succeed and prepare for potential price

Organizational Behavior Issues in Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant Organizational issues Engstrom Auto Mirror Plant faces multiple quandaries associated with human behavior. Workers feel unappreciated as an integral part of the company, disposable and insignificant. Suspicion about bonus calculations, lack of transparency, job insecurity, and perceptions of inequitableness in the payment scheme have instigated uncertainty and open rebellion against the company. One of the core problems at the organization is low productivity.
These trainings were essential for changes towards lean thinking and to build the core of a lean improvement mindset. Based on that knowledge and with the help of Pragmatek Consulting Group, Daktronics decided to implement the first lean initiative by converting the produc-tion of the LED panels from batch-and-queue to a one-piece flow line. This caused several changes and benefits on the manufacturing objectives: Before using gravity conveyers for transporting materials, parts were moved be-tween workstations by manpowered carts (Separation of human and machine work). Hence, transportation waste times and motion, like racking and unrack-ing parts, were reduced.
Toyota 's success after using TPS brought worldwide attention to lean manufacturing concepts. With the introduction of lean manufacturing into the production process, the management was able to gauge the advantages lean manufacturing brought into the day to day activities when it was implemented for single production line. The benefit of single production line with duplicate resources is that idle equipment could be undergoing a setup for the next product while another product is running. This configuration mitigates flow line downtime that would result from a high product mix because it can drive the need for many different machine setup time iterations. A single line configuration would simplify production line leadership’s responsibilities, staffing level needs would be better understood, preventive maintenance could be done while products are running and this configuration would promote a balanced or equal use approach to equipment utilization.
