  Automated tape laying (ATL) uses computer-guided robotics to lay one or several layers of carbon fibre tapes onto a mould to create a part or structure of an aircraft. Typical applications include aircraft wing skins and fuselages. • Find, confirm and eliminate the potential root cause for the wrinkling of CFRP rolls during the production of aircraft wing upper shell and fuselage shells, etc. to save the huge costs (Confidential) for scrap and rework• Use of complex problem-solving tool DOE-Shainin, relevant lean (Genchi Genbutsu etc.,) and project management tools• Reducing the wrinkling of CFRP rolls to less than 2% of total rolls used per week, which is equivalent to an improvement of 87% and implementing it in the production of aircraft components • Reducing work in progress (WIP), muda, manpower savings and lead time by 0.5 hours per wrinkle roll Show less • Independently managed, controlled and supported 2 Lean-Shainin projects to improve the production process and verified the effectiveness of the solutions• Used various methods of complex problem solving & project management tools to determine quality levels and root cause analysis of complex problems. Proposed to implement continuous improvement circle concept• Supported in Strategic Planning of the Continuous Improvement(Jishuken) Agenda (top 6 projects) for the Airbus production site with direct reporting to the manager• Training in the various layers of company organization in the field of Quality Improvements (Process Capability Analysis, DOE, MSA, SPC) and Lean Methods (KAIZEN, Continous Flow, Kanban, Visual Management, 5S, Standard Instruction, etc.) Show less
