Today’s Mill Manager needs to develop a clear vision of the mill’s future and then put in place the resources to get it done. Quad’s Operation & production Improvement Training starts with using a computerized simulation model to benchmark your current operation.
Objectives:
- Identify how to improve the operation to get the most out of your existing equipment
- Quantify the effect of any operating improvements or equipment changes
- Develop an implementation plan that includes Operator Training
- Develop a mill improvement plan that ensures capital spending yields the desired ROI
Production Improvement Opportunities:
- People – are the crews working effectively and consistently. Is there too much variation between crews?
- Process – are the pass design & setup sheets optimized to maximize TPH, yield & utilization?
- Technology – is the equipment functioning properly (delays) & would revamping or upgrading selected equipment increase productivity. When changes are made, where will the production bottleneck move to?
