  • Improved roll grinder machine operating at half the capacity. Improved the problem by Solutions to reduce downtime:o Clock was installed above the machine which began counting whenever the machine was not running. This added a sense of accountability to the roll grinder operators. (Resulted in improved efficiency with 8 rolls per day average recorded in the first month with the clock, up from an average of 5 rolls per day). o The machine downtime also decreased to an average 18 hours per week in the first month with the clock installed, down from an average of 28 hours per week recorded in the previous month.
