  2. Introduction • NOKIA Manufacturing Facility • Manufacturing • Packaging • Shipping • Inefficient Packaging Operations • Increase Units Per Man Hour (UPMH) in Packaging

  3. Background of Problem • Packaging runs an inefficient operation • Personnel change due to current layoffs • Employees not settled • Previous UPMH: 26 • Current UPMH: 14 • Goal UPMH: 36-40 or 20% increase

  4. UPMH

  5. Goal • Identify inefficiencies in packaging line • Try to increase UPMH

  6. Data Collection • Previous studies and research • Employee feedback • Time studies • Observation

  7. Observations

  8. Our Theory • Combine two processes into one: • Inserting literature currently done by two people • Can be done by one person in one step • Will automatically increase UPMH by eliminating one worker from the process

  9. Simulation • Test theories to increase efficiencies in packaging line • ProModel • Graphical representation of process • Run time data • Ability to reconfigure process

  10. Will work if: • Our theory line can produce the same output less than or equal to the time of the current line • One literature person can insert the literature in the allotted time

  11. Present line: 250 entries 1hr 18 min 13 workers =14.736 (for 1 line) Theory line: 250 entries 1hr 18 min 12 workers =15.964 (for 1 line) UPMH with our Model

  12. Conclusions • Literature can be inserted by one person within the allotted time • Having only one literature person is more efficient • UPMH is increased by 8.33%

  13. Critique • There are many other ways we could have solved this problem. • Through the use of ProModel we increased UPMH, but not as much as our original goals. • Conflicting time schedules and distance of facility were problems.
