Project Summary | Project Information |
---|---|
Project P09712: Commercial Roll Line Shrink Reduction, is sponsored by Wegmans. The project goals are to decrease the amount of wasted dough and baked rolls. Wegmans estimates between 5% and 10% are lost on a typical day of production on this line. They are treated as 'end of line' defects and considered waste. We will be responsible for analyzing, suggesting, implementing, and recording the overall results of our actions. Our team will be providing support for the Wegmans bakery on Brooks Avenue in Rochester, NY. This bakery is responsible for the majority of the baked goods available in the 72 Wegmans stores. |

Mission Statement
The Wegmans Commercial Roll Line Shrink Reduction project will be completed at the Wegmans Brooks Avenue bakery location. The project will concentrate on eliminating wastes associated with current operations on the commercial roll production line. The project may be used as a tool to educate RIT students in Lean process improvement techniques and can be iterated many times in the future to provide additional benefits to both Wegmans and the RIT Senior Design Program.2-Quarter Schedule
Track | Phase I | Phase II | Phase III | Phase IV |
---|---|---|---|---|
Commercial Roll Line Shrink Reduction | Identify and construct current state value stream map | Focus on the process improvement of a specific target area : Rounding, Proof Box, Oven, Quality Inspection, Bagging | Re-evaluate flow of rolls, create a new benchmark. Formal presentation to stakeholders | Reiterate process, focusing on low cost projects to improve line performance |
Each iteration of this process will begin and end with stakeholder buy-in. An analysis of the above mentioned target areas (Rounding, Proof Box, Oven, Quality Inspection, Bagging) will be the guide as to where we will focus our efforts. Within each target area, specific goals will be set, and specific tools will be used to attain them. For example, introducing a standardized time that rolls are in the Oven, based on data collected.
