- 7. What is short run? Short run is not defined by part quantities/EAUs Short run is defined by the number of hours per production run Donnellys short run Average production run is 11 hours Median production run is 7+ hours Production runs range from .25 to 240 hours Short run is defined as more than one changeover per week, per press We average 9 changeovers per week, per press 7
- 8. Why short run? It is not possible to do short and long run well Short run focus is on changeover optimization Long run focus is on process optimization A need exists for a supplier committed to short run expertise Pressure to reduce inventory, but continue to meet stringent delivery dates A supplier with short run expertise allows these vital needs to be met economically 8

- 15. Process orientation with measurements Manufacturing launch process Developed in 1999 Hard work & diligence wasnt enough with 250+ molds/year 80 % of tooling launches will have no problem, but it is the 20 % that a highly defined process allows you to succeed at Defined, comprehensive and measured so output is repeatable, reliable and profitable Avoids the finger pointing at hand-offs Responsibilities are defined and reviewable 15
- 16. Process orientation with measurements Manufacturing launch process Owned by the people who hold responsibility Result is unique 3-pronged engineering model Project Engineer on-site at customer location for design and mold-build support Manufacturing Launch Engineer who oversees sampling, measurement and approval process Process Engineer for day-to-day production Value of a highly defined process is that you can evaluate and change it Manage, measure and improve it 16

Attention to detail 5S Sort: Separate the necessary from the unnecessary Set in Order: Put everything in its place, label its place Shine: Keep everything clean, helps identify potential problems Standardize: Defines how a task should be performed, sets the performance standard Sustain: Most important requires regular inspections, with action items identified, assigned, and addressed Good factories develop beginning with the 5Ss. Bad factories fall apart beginning with the 5Ss. Hirouki Hirano 23
