Thank you again all for joining us. Good evening. And we are to interface with your continual process through the project. My name is Iran we're down to join them. I feel the cause of all the cals human Sarah Bradley and Kevin chat are also delighted to be joined by Kline sponsor tonight Chris Kirk a senior V.P. of operations and unfortunately faculty advisor Dr in our custody just not make and I have many thanks to her for her help and guidance and because of the interface is the world's largest modular carbon capture in our project is based out of the facility in West Point Georgia. This was Sylvia seen at three hundred fifty percent increase in small size orders in the last ten years in the last year it saw as an estimated five weeks of the net demand value that fourteen million dollars in profit as a goal of increasing output by forty percent to six hundred thousand square yards per week and recently has purchased eight additional talking machine or large machines that are part of the symptoms that brought us on to this project were eight million dollars in overtime expenses thirty percent utilization of their topping machines and of their training about a fourth of the orders around and we investigated the root cause of these to be involved like your preparation a lack of physical space across the facility and slow it's often a schedule we design through deliverables Why do you prevent directly related to the bottom of your preparation process we're going to do actions based on a simulation and the schedule of our project derives its value in three key areas two billion dollars in annual savings increase of that city by about twenty percent and decrease of late orders eighty five percent interface sees about a billion dollars of revenue and you leave it worldwide and over eighty percent of the products are going toward all of North American production it is based out of southwest Georgia across two facilities and the racing Anderson facility in the one we're focused on. And West Point Georgia wondering this facility currently operates twenty four hours a day on Monday through Friday and see significant overtime expenses over the weekend for a little more detail on the your to meal process specifically R.C.A. your initially comes into the facility in about ten pound packages where it's stored in the warehouse until it's released or when it's released to the floor and either could be used to the winding or the loading station. The majority does go to winding or picture you can see these large packages in order spool down into smaller packages or yarn to be used later in the process from there it either. Continues to loading or the majority of which goes back to the warehouse before the orders release to the floor loading these packages are loaded onto the Creoles which picture here you can service between the mobile units that transfer you aren't across the facility and together the winding and the loading stations comprise the operation station. So the grills the room on the top to the schools are focused on two large machines of a school or sewing machines that are out of carpet and the carpet continues to lay ticcing though that's out of scope for our project the news yarn is either a going to waste or B. The majority of which ninety percent goes to our coding which is the process of reclaiming that yarn to be used in future orders and that yarn is stored in the warehouse the primary causes for the process imbalance in the cities are seeing our aid has increased in small size orders three hundred fifty percent in the last ten years and this is coupled by an increase in unique styles across all the products one hundred thirty percent in the last ten years. The primary effects of these are a bottleneck in your preparation in the past your preparation. Excuse me that the median was over the right side of the graph or targeting took longer than your preparation and this wasn't a problem as you can see over the last ten years and shifted toward the bottom line is that your preparation is taking longer than typing causing the bottleneck for smaller runs sizes and lastly constrained space. The facility simply has limited space to expand background limited scheduling capability right now the largely manual process is causing problems so about the most scheduling scheduling that's only done twice a week and six percent of the orders being expedited together these problems are putting into interface our state and essentially a fire fighting mode. There are just orders on the floor among the number stations and they're turning up for the orders around of the three deliverables we design the first one planning for calls you can see here on the line and stations and again these are the stations I think is large cones of different school it down to smaller all the yarn that goes through winding sixty percent of your yard Bradley yard and forty percent of reclaim your yard there's already been due process and all the whining is the bottleneck. There is a significant opportunity to increase throughput at the station. Our team perform forty hours of time studies to really understand what's causing the downtime of the stations and what we found was that on average the cycle time for winding is fifteen minutes. All that fifteen minutes on ninety minutes of time. The key contributors down time are the changeover mending of your race all are down time and Dr Dark time off. Time is the time it takes for the machine to switch I'll finish dotcoms and put in you and get up the first barrier for improvement is to reduce or change over time change or can be reduced by handling warehouse logistics of by the floating operator and by to ensuring that the creel cones for the next run are loaded before the one finishes this area for improvement will reduce cycle time from fifty eight minutes down to fifty three minutes and the second area for improvement is to reduce your rate cut your rate time can be reduced by mending these your brakes immediately and not allowing them to cause additional down. Again for improvement will furthermore reduce cycle time from the once fifteen minutes to thirty area for improvement is to reduce other down time. More specifically to become empty cones need to be still running as opposed to ward off and again this area for improvement will reduce cycle times down to fifty one minutes applying these three areas for improvement. The change over the arms race and loading of empty cones intervention expect to reduce winding cycle time anywhere from six percent to fifteen percent actually focused very narrowly on the ball and we don't want to see the implication superior system. Therefore we created a simulation which gave you a lot more about how we designed the simulation in SR which is a software package for science communication in here you can see how the process mimics what we explained earlier so it's very similar to the process we explained earlier again here orders are created to mean actually run science which is a machine which you can go. So in order to run build a simulation first we collect the data from two thousand and eleven two thousand and eleven was a very comprehensive set of data and even that was the complete Next we proceeded to run the model we read fifty replication approximately a year one time as well as a year over after this we validated. We made sure not only that implants. Equal out but also we validated the data against the values to match as well as partial twenty data which was independent from anything we input into them and so here we have the current state of the facility. The main sequence from this graph is it currently is of maximum capacity on the X. axis we can see the demanding the so we increase pressure into the system and we can see the throughput increases only. However there is a large trader as lead time. Increases that are much faster. Obviously the client does not want to sleep but also we see and when you say she's extremely high. It's almost a hundred percent again just confirms our initial assumption that the one I'm sorry the bottleneck isn't what. So in terms of our overall goal of the solution. We wanted to test a few scenarios so the first point is a current state without any changes which is what we just discussed. Next the client the client has talked to arriving to the facility and they plan to recapitalise or so off to receive our recommended plan is very similar to the client's plan. However we plan to be capitalized to with Vishal talk to machines which are lower utilization and with that extra space generated at two additional winding cells as well as an additional loadings. In here we depict the different scenarios we tested with the simulation so each box is a different scenario for example we see here that eight when you sell your current capacity. You can plan. They're losing. About four hundred thirty thousand for your program. If they ask you from one source to bring you up to ten they can actually produce four hundred fifty three thousand square you really this is good. However if fall short of their goal of six hundred thousand where it's probably next. When you look at the client plan again when you talk to machines they can actually produce five hundred seventy thousand spurious approach. However this is even feasible given that the top just coming in they would have noise free space for the extra ones. Next time you look at our recommended plan we see on the bottom X. axis the decreasing winding cycle time that would result from improvements in style and their decision of what we can see that in a good case we can use when you decrease when you cycle them by six percent and in a best case we can bring that up to fifteen percent focusing specifically on the top three cases because the most the most powerful. We can see that in the six percent six percent that your book is The three over six hundred thousand words and the best six hundred sixty five thousand points and get this all falls of the finds of six hundred thousand Koreans program specifically to be conservative. We're focusing on the six hundred thousand square foot we especially as it relates to the clients to the clients so focusing on this case we can see how time it starts percent actually decreases with our recommended plan and if you take that all the way up to forty percent. We can actually increase throughput by forty percent isn't zero percent. We talked about seventy production. However moving on our minds interested in shifting back to only sixty production schedule shifting back production eliminating some This would reduce over time expense recommended scenario we can actually increase by about twenty percent about five hundred seventeen thousand really increasing and so to summarize our plan is to recapitalize up to bring the total up to four as well as invest into additional ones and additional conservative estimate we plan to decrease one cycle time by about six percent and all of these together from a seventy six day production schedule which will allow savings over time as well as an increase in maximum capacity to about five hundred seventy thousand workers and now we're going to shift gears a little bit and Sara is going to talk about this run mentioned earlier in the presentation our client is really turning about twenty percent of their or easily to the uninsured way which we think our teams. Significant potential here. The scheduling tool our scheduling told him but such a machine your machine times and runs the time which wasn't previously considered a reference or a series of heuristics the output which is a schedule of sequence jobs. Now if you're sick every tool takes a broad tax policy about two thousand and sorts and over and earliest you get this large list and then broken down into smaller list based on machine types. They're then selling to tens of those most respected machine types a very volatile one of those tanks of insults of all you can count units with about seventy to two hundred orders pending on the scheduling right. We then look specifically at the due date and we group all the runs in place by stimulating for each of those groups to the same date we look specifically at the lines and give them a loading time and it stops in time. Once we've done this we run it through Johnson them to reduce the make span of producing the runs on the lists and once we've completed the room. We then can talk to the results of that and the output becomes our schedule and Stephen chops to look soft for a major character trait first which I mention with a flexible schedule and Horizon or to have the ability to change the horizon. Depending on a crime scene and also as a kid experience. How many machines are on the floor and the processing rate of each of those machines and so also the chip really smart and tough the machine is down as Ron mentioned in your answer carve it is important to know when the to increase schedule. What shoes are available. Lastly we have to prioritize orders and also mention our clients is a lot of expediting orders this talk is in the days order and push it through the schedule scheduling full time using our tool is very straightforward. Quite simply have lots of rock type style which is lame and I think currently for their schedule and running through our tour the outlet in place is an X.L. Thank you. I know such as that's made it looking. So isolated Lonestar time and time talking start time and time when he announces on our tour we need to test cases from two thousand two thousand and eleven and from our lives we need some sense that raw material is always available on the set up time is negligible and the schedule is followed exactly the percentage of test pieces showing reduction targets about eighty five percent. We have a limitation and improvements in not considering changes made after the cancel Israelis are still compared to the current patient about eighty five percent reduction percentage Exactly and a forty five percent reduction in the average tardiness I'm just going to hand over the columns That's why I just think back to initially years of proven over time expenses limited capacity weight orders. All right. Recommendations the rules address these issues and the product drive value from three to two million dollars an annualized savings an increase in maximum weekly capacity of sixty five thousand square yards and up to eighty five percent decrease in late orders looking more at the two million dollars a five year average is Asian period and purple on the top what you can see what we benchmark the recommendations awful in orange you can see the value of our recommendations for things that we consider where investments to move in cost of all machines decreasing the annual overtime expenses as well as the increase in labor expenses to facilitate or the new winding sales increase in weekly capacities of significant value for the client as we are currently seeing unmet demand due to their life. That's again this additional capacity can then be converted to sales and again in the five percent reduction. This and the scope of our work. However we did interface medicinal areas to consider in the future of these are here we'll be happy to take any questions now. Being submissive to repeat this question to ask what kind of them would just give you the supreme power use but you don't know if you're there because the things you want guesses on which additional Are you so the question is how much additional revenue would be generated from the additional capacity if that if you did the entire sixty five thousand square yards realizable increases in approximately eighty million dollars per year that didn't turn the profit over twenty million. However we like you conservative little of all this is realizable of the different is considered currently facing life with us and that answer the question here for yourself. So to your question you asked like how we deal with our supporters basically would you vote for your beautiful up and start us off it off the bottom when you keep the problem that you have a soft office tonight Anderson like a sore thumb some sort of you get if you stop this sort of thing you hear of it. We're all of us and after you finish telling us will be like I like you right in the middle of the operation and the results of the answer. So to answer the question of the recommendation is all around and I think maybe Chris could talk on behalf of this with some news here is where we train to do studies and answer. Most of the three times I work with the professor greats of fortune they're in the right direction and these things were right. So the question is why is this space so important for the client and basically coming in there. However in this mine are what we consider to be the bottleneck inside the facility and we can't in terms of increasing out without adding in our recommendation recapitalizing or selling off the top. That's Thank you.
