Safety Improvement: Double Reduction Line

Situation: Current prep staging method is causing seal leaks and damaged baffles from laying parts on sides. Quick fix was setting parts in tubes that were unsafe and fall over.

Task: 2Store parts stable, save time on hook up method, ergonomic, safety for storage and assembly.

Action: I approached management with a junked spinning yoke tree redesigned with a steel plate on top and holes to support shafts upright. Set with height to make easy transfer from stand to part assembly and storage underneath for parts.

Result: Safe parts from not falling over, more ergonomic for workers, eliminating seal leaks and damage to baffles.
