A lean approach to human performance

Training plans required to maintain manufacturing equipment often provide more than the absolutely necessary information which can result in costly training and Technician Time Away from Floor (TTAF). This poster will summarize an evaluation that was performed to reduce waste and improve human performance on equipment maintenance, using a Lean Six-Sigma approach including A3 analysis, Direct Observation, 5 Why´s, and DMAIC and Human Performance Analysis (HPA). The results were outstanding. Eliminating 44% of the training tasks reduced training time by 52%, TTAF by 56%, and cost by 50%.
