Introduction
Polaroid - manufactures cameras, photographic equipment and accessories Two main divisions
The
Factory Layout
1st floor
Spring Production
Pod Production
Designed such that reagent would be released from the front seal of the pod. Flows between negative and positive to develop image. Operates when film frame are ejected from the camera.
Packaging
All films that were produced were checked by the Quality Control department
Sampled 15 finished cartridges out of every lot of 5000. These finished cartridges each contained 10 frames
Lot was put on hold for further testing Either reworked or rejected
The QC department ended up rejecting just over 1% (50 cartridges per 5,000) in 1984 Used to check 32 random cartridges for each lot at each stage of the process Took specific measurements of different characteristics
Measurement combined with the operators knowledge were used to determine if a lot should be rejected or not
Use of a perfect testing camera did not match customers cameras Sampling did nothing to improve quality
Lead to high costs If the control sampling was cut in half, the outgoing defects
Project Greenlight
Focused on improving the quality control processes while reducing the number of samples 3 parts :
Project Greenlight
Operators responsible for taking measurements and recording them If the machine was operating outside of the control limits, the machine was automatically shut down Maintenance would be called and the machines had to be cleaned, re-calibrated and restarted Operators were no longer allowed to tweak the machines.
Mixed results
Was
supposed to cut down the defects and testing losses. The reported defective rate from the operators and auditors was reduced from 1% to 0.05% The defective rate from the central process auditors had shot up from 1% to 10%
Lack of trust between the auditors and the operators The nature of defects also changed
At 1% defect level
10000
ZL = (-LSL)/sigma = 2.33
Going beyond 1%
Customer specification limit would remain same, thus to increase Cpk process variation must be reduced as much as possible. This means making process more robust and decreasing defects. Try to achieve
6sigma

Improper proportion of reagent is one of the frequently occurring defects The top 5 defects constitute around 60% defect Almost 60% defects is produced by the operator himself

Comparison
OLD Process
Greenlight Process
Operator can change the speed temperature, and pressure of the machine Maintenance has unique set of solution with each machine Operators produce consistent quality by tweaking based on experience
Operators have to shut down the machine Maintenance has to determine standardized best practice procedure for all the machine Processes have been standardized
Change Management
Change management approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations to a desired future state with the help of new process/changes Polaroid Operator based statistical process control (SPC)
Cut
Implications
Hard to change the concept of work mapped in the head of the workers
Operator
thinks that shutting down the machine is more expensive Maintenance thinks their job is depersonalized QC personnel do not trust the operators Engineering technicians feels that they are better than the operators Increase in defect rate from central process auditors (1% to 10%)

Rolfs
Recommendations
1.
Operator responsibility:
Need to treat downstream process as a customer Should aim at Doing it Right the first time Should shut machine as soon as process is out-ofcontrol
Convince operators about potential impact of their process on overall quality Introduce SPC training modules for Operators Inculcate a culture of Quality in the Organization at all levels
2.
Management responsibility:
Recommendations
3.
Apply SPC at the injection moulding machines to control defects Automation of data collection methods Process Documentation & Product Quality Rating should be introduced Schedule maintenance periodically Use checklist
Motivate operators towards achieving Polaroids Quality objective Link incentives to operators salaries to ensure adherence to revised Quality norms
