STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS IMPROVEMENT Luc Nelen luc.nelen@innosen.com

AGENDA • Introduction • Basics of Process Improvement • Fault-Mode Effective Analysis (FMEA) • Examples of FMEA and solutions • Conclusion

WHY? WHAT? HOW?

Make a Sensitivity Analysis - Estimate effect of errors in assumptions INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (IRR) space DEVIATION

PRODUCTION QUALITY & Can Quality QUANTITY Both important

No quick fix Many small steps No easy Shortcuts!

IMPROVEMENT PROCESS  Measure  Compare with Target  Correct

Measure and figure out the corrective action

MEASURE • Repeatability & Reproducibility (R&R) • Can I trust my measurement? o Operator o Equipment

Repeatability and Reproducibility (R&R) • Repeatability measures the variation in measurements taken by a single person under the same conditions • Reproducibility measures whether measurements can be reproduced by different people etc.

HOW TO IMPROVE?

Fault-Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA) • Work backwards to find solution • Effect → Cause

Measure and figure out the corrective action

IS231 Double Sheet/End Detector A sensor that calibrates automatically True “Fit and Forget” No operator intervention, no risk of wrong adjustments Large thickness range (0.08 - 1.6mm / 0.0031” – 0.063”) Works on both aluminium and tinplate For use on coating and printing lines, slitters and presses etc.

IS651 Missing Lacquer Detector Protects machinery and product against problems caused by missing lacquer on blank sheets. No need for operator adjustment Self‐adjusting and self‐calibrating Works with all white, coloured AND CLEAR LACQUERS Protects your equipment and your reputation from expensive quality issues Typically installed before/after the oven on coating lines or on press infeed

IS415 Skew Measurement System Full protection from skewed sheets, even at high line speed Highly accurate measurements Increase production quality Achieve faster production rates – without the risk of extra scraps Provides useful statistical data Experience on modern high-speed coating lines shows that up to 1 sheet in every 2000 will skew or misalign badly as it goes through the rollers, no matter how well you control your process!

IS430 Sheet Translation Measurement Adds protection against laterally displaced coating by detecting sheet misalignment at the coater

IS450 Sheet Registration Measurement Adds protection against poor sheet registration by warning of sheet misfeeds at the coater

IS610 Plain Margin Inspector Reliably detects contaminants in the margin of coated /printed sheets. Detects any type of lacquer, even small drops of clear transparent lacquer Detects presence of other contaminants (e.g., grease/oil, rust, water marks) in the margin

Coating Thickness Measurement SI9600 IS9560 IS9650 SI9507+ Easy to use - Highly accurate measurements – World class R&R Wide range of probes for measuring coatings thickness / film weight on flat sheets, cans, aerosols, aluminium tubes, etc.

CONCLUSION There are no quick short-cuts in process improvement! It is a step to step process that requires proper analysis to achieve the best result. In this process you require tools in which you can trust, equipment with good R&R and sensors limiting human errors. Innosen offers a large range of products that can help you in this process. Our products are designed for accuracy and ease of use, many of them being fully automatic.
