Stress FreeTM Manufacturing Solutions provides guidance to the skill development in solving equipment and operational problems.

It is a phenomenon based in its analysis approach. The phenomenon is the root cause of a specific problem. It is at the level where the long term problem resolution can be acted upon and maintained.

Stress FreeTM Change Over Solutions develops the production line and support personnel and creates a dramatic decrease in the time to change a line from producing one product to the time the next product is running

The changeover skill, the procedures and the tools are all improved.

Changeover goes from minutes to seconds.

Every motion is examined, timed, and looked at for improvement.

The goal is to achieve a changeover that is referred to as the process that needs no tools, no talent and takes no time.

The actual time it takes to achieve a significant improvement varies. An eighty percent time reduction in five days is a goal that Stress FreeTM Changeover Solutions has achieved in multiple production lines around the world.

It is possible to make this improvement on current production lines and not spend more than is budgeted for equipment maintenance.

The change is possible, but leaders must lead. They must step forward and do it first.

When the non-line leaders demonstrate that they can do it. The production line team members always take the next step in making the changeover even better.

Changeover improvement makes life on the line easier. The operating teams always celebrate a more stable and positive production environment.

Imagine having the fastest, most effective, and efficient production line at performing change over while at the same time improving throughput and maintaining quality and doing it all safely.

Do it and "they will come" to you to learn what you have demonstrated is possible...

Stress FreeTM Work Process Solutions addresses three types of work and provides organizational guidance to enable a zero loss, flexible, growing environment.

There is knowledge work that is done with computers.

There is handwork that is done in assembly and service type work.

There is equipment tending and operation work.

All contribute to specific business goals.

In each of the work types, people aspire to be good at what they do. Most often they desire to do good work and to contribute to the business.

Peoples skill growth is directly linked to an increased business success and organizational flexibility and positive response to change.

Documenting and flow-charting repetitive work creates the work production process. This is akin to building a physical production line. It provides the basis for continuous improvement.

Once work functions are flow charted, shared work such as art development where different organizations do separate elements and have it all come together or assembly work where there are multiple assembly steps that build on each other, the step-by-step product transformation can be tracked.

Visualizing the work process on the screen or on paper and tracking specific projects on an hour by hour basis or a day by day basis creates an environment where issues become apparent and improvement action taken. This is done using output tracking.

On the assembly line, in the office, on the production floor, visualization of the condition of the work enables the person doing the work and allows for immediate support when problems arise.

The person doing the work, the support person and the enabling leaders all need to be operating on the same work-flow chart and the same support enabling signals.

The growth of skill and improved performance of everyone will be recognized in improved attendance and reduced regrettable departures.

When this occurs work will flow smoothly and the production area, whether in the office, on a manual assembly line or on a physical production line will stabilize.

Imagine being able to walk into a work area and immediately being able to know that everything is as it should be.
