Air Waves Edition 32
After talking with many of you over the last few weeks, it has become clear that Gaining Ground payout is not fully understood. Let’s take a few minutes to go over the process. Hopefully, it will make a little more sense after we’re done.
First… Gaining Ground is a ‘self funded’ incentive program. Basically what this means is the money paid out is money we as a site have put into the payment pool. The money comes from our established operating budget for both direct and indirect elements. If we meet that budget and do not spend more than was planned, each employee will receive 5 days extra pay. Pretty simple so far…
Second… Let’s talk about the 10 additional days we have the opportunity to earn. Under running our budget for the year puts additional money into the Gaining Ground payment pool account. The more we under run our budget… means more money for the account… thus allowing us to fund the additional 10 days... Still with me?
Third… In order to receive the extra 10 days we also need to achieve our goals on the following four key metrics:
- 25% Safety OSHA Rate - 25% Quality R3 Performance - 25% Schedule Starts & Completes Average - 25% Inventory Product Turns (P-turns)
At the beginning of each year we establish targets for each goal based on our performance at the end of the previous year. Our goal is obviously to achieve 100% but you can get partial credit toward gaining ground even if you fall short of the target… For example, if we meet our year end target on Safety, Schedule, and Inventory, but end the year half way to our Quality R3 target… or 50%... we would have achieved a total score of 87.5%. That means we would get 87.5% of what was in our gaining ground payment pool account. If we managed to put enough money in the pool (equal to say 12 days) 12 x 87.5% equals 10.5 days which would ensure you to earn the additional 10 days.
A couple of other things to consider…
- It is possible to miss every single target and get 5 days payout because the first 5 days are based on meeting budget as a site.
- It is also possible to achieve every target and get nothing if we don’t beat budget and create the pool account.
- Our payout is not tied to any other site’s performance. - Each site funds its own pool and works to achieve its own targets independently. - We truly can control our own destiny…
So what does this all mean to each of us? It means we must do our part to achieve each of the key performance metrics. At the same time, we need to identify ways to reduce cost, so we can add more money to the Gaining Ground payment pool. The road to Continuous Improvement is not easy, but steady progress guarantees MVO a long, bright future. Continue to be Safe in All You Do… Merlin Fechner General Manager-Milledgeville

Continuous Improvement at Work In the SHODA, 68 shear ties move through the area every 10 days. The mechanics were frustrated as they looked for the next part to be trimmed. It was almost like looking for a needle in the haystack. Because of the backlog, there were 5 racks of parts in the area on any given day to be searched without any clear location (nothing had a specific place). We took a look at the situation and reduced the 5 racks of parts down to 3 dollies to house the 68 shear ties for a ship set of parts. The dollies were identified with the part numbers in chronological order and parts were located in their new home. Now the mechanics have one location for each part. The multiples are located at the same location. This became a visual to see what parts were in the area and which ones had multiples to be trimmed. It provides a clear, quick, and easy way for part storage/queue.
Benefits include the ability to easily store parts as they come into the SHODA area. It provides the SHODA operator a way to easily locate parts as needed. It causes less chaos and confusion and reduces the amount of time in looking for the right part(s). It takes up less space in the room. It provides better quality with the proper dolly layout that better protects parts from damage. It causes a more efficient area in general and increases 5s awareness by having a place for everything (clean and organized). While the SHODA can be a frustrating job at times, Bobette and Harold have done an outstanding job in making it better.
Lean/Six Sigma methodologies exist as a structured means for continuous improvement. It provides the framework and foundation to fundamentally solve various problems in and throughout the value stream. Harold Ewers and Bobette Prosser identified a fundamental problem within their area (SHODA) and found confusion and chaos as to how the shear ties were being managed within the department. The fix sounds so simple and, in fact, it is. The important thing to note here is the fact that they identified the problem and found a solution, but more than that…they implemented the solution and are already realizing the tremendous positive effects it has on the area. Congratulations to the Shoda team for taking action toward continuous improvement. It is activities such as this that must be looked at and possibly shared throughout the facility to help enable us to become a safer more efficient company. Great Job!

Before: NO LABELS. Mechanics have to search for parts (valuable time wasted searching for the part they need)
After: Labels clearly marked for easy identification. This provides a clear location for each part.
All parts have a place. Mechanics can find parts quickly and know exactly what they have and where it is at a glance.

Frequently Used Acronyms
COGS: Cost of Goods Sold
“The cost to a business of making the products it sells over a given period of time. The cost of goods sold includes parts and labor expenses, but does not include shipping, advertising, or other indirect costs. COGS is included on a company's balance sheet and may be subtracted from revenue when calculating the company's gross margin. There are various ways to calculate COGS, but one of the most straightforward ways involves starting with the cost of starting inventory, adding sales over the given period, and then subtracting the cost of ending inventory. It is also called the cost of sales.” Sources: http://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Cost+of+Goods+Sold

National Start Walking Day Physical inactivity is a huge national problem. Seventy percent of Americans do not get enough exercise. That is true for many of us right here at Vought Aircraft and it means that we are at greater risk for heart disease, stroke, and other blood vessel diseases. Physical activity offers many benefits. In fact, research shows that people who get regular, vigorous physical activity (like walking) could gain two more hours of life for every one hour they exercise. To promote physical activity in the workplace, employees at the Milledgeville site made a pledge to live a healthier life and participated in the National Start Walking Day on Wednesday, April 14th.

Jones County Youth Visits the Milledgeville Site
On Wednesday, March 17th, Jones County High School seniors visited the Milledgeville site. Lead by William Richards, the students toured the site and learned how manufacturing and technology worked together toward a common goal. After visiting Vought, many of the students have seen the significance in earning degrees in manufacturing, computer science, and engineering. Vought proudly supports educational growth within our community and wish the seniors of Jones County High School the best of luck!
From the Mouth of a Supervisor/Manager
Units 6787, 6329, 6317, 6655 and 6421
I want to recognize units 6787, 6329, 6317, 6655 and 6421. Over the past three months these individuals have worked long hours, some seven days a week. They have been working to recover schedules since the holidays, due to part shortages and the start up of the 787 assembly unit.They have also been asked to move around to different units and processes frequently to support the daily operational goals and commitments. The movement of personnel in this manner is not an easy thing to do, but everyone has adapted well and performance has exceeded all expectations. I also want to recognize those who came from other units in support of this effort. Thank you all for your POSITIVE ENERGY.

SAP/VECTR I feel honored to have been selected as one of our three super users for the SAP transition team. I don’t know that I personally fit the bill of “super”, but I do know there is a super opportunity for all of us to improve our efficiency as we work together to learn and implement the upcoming SAP system. Instead of striving to “band-aid” our current system pieces to produce reliable data and reports, SAP will allow us to have consistent data across integrated functionalities of our business. SAP is divided into several business scenarios: Record to Report (RTR), Order to Cash (OTC), Procure to Pay (P2P), and Plan to Produce (PLP). My responsibility is with the Plan to Produce team, which handles processes from the creation of demand to the execution and production of that demand, including planning and configuration, forecasting, scheduling, production, quality assurance, and maintenance. I look forward to working with those of you who are subject matter experts (SME’s) and associated end users to help us implement this super improvement over the months to come.
