1. Process /
Product:
The production process in
which opportunity exists.
Kingsbury main valve machining. Machining defects on main
valve resulting in leaking of main valve seat.
2. Project
Description:
Describe the Project’s
Purpose and scope.
To reduce the Defects on the main valve seat for Part
Number24245.
3. Objective: What improvement is
targeted and what will be
the impact on RTY, COPQ

4. Business Results:
(in 2000 Dollars)
What is the improvement in
business performance (eg-
sales and income)
anticipated and when?
Reduction of the rejects at Mexicali will result in less
disassembly higher RTY, thus a reduction in the COPQ due to
this defect. Estimated payback for the two plants is $62.5k per
year, effective Fiscal year 2003.
5. Team members: Who are the full-time
members and any expert
consultants?
Kevin Kidder – Champion
Leonel Garcia – Customer
Ricardo Partida – Quality Engineer 110 Line
6. Project Scope: Which part of the process
will be investigated?
Main Valve Seat 24245
7. Benefit to
External
Customers:
Who are the final
customers, what benefit will
they see and what are their
most critical requirements?
Rheem, American Water Heating benefit will be longer
life and less returns due to leaking on gas from the main
valve seat.
