Title
Solving the complexity of the manufacturing equipment disposition process using engineering tools and techniques
Description
The purpose of this thesis was to solve a complex problem in the manufacturing industry. The complex problem is the disposition and redeployment of specialized manufacturing equipment while accounting for import, export and supply chain security. The problem-solving approach is discussed in detail, focusing on lean and six sigma methodologies for a solution meeting both company internal and external requirements. This combination of lean and six sigma methodology has been validated by use in a pharmaceutical company. The process flow to dispose equipment properly is presented in detail. The process details can be used as best practices by any company dealing with specialized manufacturing equipment, enabling them to develop a robust process tailored to their organizational structure, hierarchy and resource availability.
