Missed Opportunity Number 1—-Improving the Cleaning/Sanitation Process
Many manufacturing organizations shut down equipment periodically to clean and maintain its productive capacity.
In particular, the food producing industry has a mandate from one or more external agencies of the government to sanitize the machinery to insure product safety. When observing this sanitizing process we note a great deal of intense activity occurring in a short time. After all, the unstated goal is to clean it thoroughly and return it to production as fast as possible. The hard working cleaning crew is under great pressure to finish in a timely way. Often these diligent folks perform very well without a script. The result is they seldom do things the same way each time and it is possible they may be working much harder than needed to achieve the desired goal- a clean and sanitized set of equipment. This generates the first opportunity.
