220 Supply Crib Automation
Automate the part request process for the 220 Crib and provide an approval process for module leaders to review requests.
Results: $750,000 in savings
Project duration: April 2024 – June 2024
Problem
Anyone can submit a 220 Supply Crib part request for consumableswithout review and thousands of dollars are lost in duplicate or unnecessary orders.
Solution
Design a tool allowing operators or manufacturing engineers to easily submit part requests and an approval process for module leaders and business unit leaders. Create an incoming queue for crib attendants to update order statuses and track incoming requests.
Users
Operators and manufacturing engineers will use the tool to submit part requests.
Module leaders and business unit leaders will use the tool to monitor and approve incoming part requests, and ensure their departments have all necessary parts to run production.
Whiteboard
Early Iterations
Reflection
After presenting initial wireframes to the team, it was decided there was a need to place orders with multiple parts.
Module leaders and business unit leaders also need to view order metrics to manage their budgets.
