Process Improvement at Saint-Gobain
Público DepositedThe goal of this project was to reduce waste and add transparency around tunnel kiln operations at Saint Gobain’s grinding wheel abrasives plant, supporting efforts to improve utilization. We applied business intelligence (BI), 5s, and DMAIC methods to analyze and implement solutions. Our proposed solutions included a tracking system for the batts that carry material through the kiln, visual management aids to identify incoming orders, and a kiln utilization BI dashboard.
