Excerpt from Interdisciplinary Industry-University Collaboration: Lessons From an Operations Improvement Project

During a mid-stream review Of the internship, the supervisors realized that the rationalization project was making certain implicit assumptions that merited reexamination. Since the project concentrated on tube mill Operations, its scope was limited to local rather than plant-wide improvements by assuming that the tube mill was decoupled from the rest of the plant. In particular, the project assumed that the current bloom sizes produced by the extrusion plant could not be changed, and so it did not consider alternative processing paths for each product. The faculty supervisors felt that reviewing these basic project assumptions and examining the entire process flow could produce significant payoffs. For instance, changing the set Of standard bloom sizes or relaxing certain processing constraints (based on better process understanding) could potentially have greater impact on tube mill productivity compared to grouping the products 501e based on their current processing paths. Loucks' internship, therefore, became a test-of-concept project to illustrate the advantage Of taking a broader view of the rationalization project to span both extrusion and tube mill operations (loucks Working with the process planners, Loucks developed a classification Of the fundamental manufacturing constraints on the tube drawing process, and used a graphical representation of these constraints to illustrate the tremendous flexibility inherent in tube manufacturing.
