My Optimal Lean Shop Layout! | Machine Shop Move Vlog Ep 5

Today I'll take you through finalizing the machine shop move with my optimal lean shop layout!

So we've got machines in place on the floor, we're running air, we're running electrical. And in this episode, I'm going to talk to you about the optimal lean shop layout that we've run with. And at the end, I'm going to give you a sneak peek as to my personal dream assembly and fulfillment center that we're breaking ground on, get a lot in this video! Enjoy our Machine Shop Move Vlog Episode 5!

He is really flexing in this video more than someone with yacht, ferrari and multiple rolex watches... Crazy how much money he spent on this shop... Great work...

This is really important stuff. I work as a process technician for Parker Aerospace and there was a project I worked on where we were trying to reduce setup times at our 6 axis lasers. After doing some time studies and a standardized work combination table, I found we were walking to and from the rotary table to the shadowboard (about 6 feet away) 30 times per setup, and in that department there was approximately 45 setups per day. That meant we were walking roughly 1.5 miles per day (about 400 miles per year) to and from the shadowboard. I simply removed the shadowboard, and installed 3D printed tool holders that attached directly to the machine controller that could be pulled right up to the rotary. This meant they could simply pivot and have all the tools right there when they needed them. Ended up saving about a 10% setup time reduction, almost 600 hours of machine time, and a little over 30k in wasted labor / human effort.

I m repeating again and again: we need more videos! I love them

[Qui_Gon_Ben]

Your videos are some of the best machine shop vids on YouTube.

[TrPrecisionMachining]

Very good video MR pierson..Thanks for your time

[Rimrock]

Great update! I enjoy how things are explained in a calm and clear manner

[wrighty]

Great info on the compressor setup, thanks!

[BROUSBLADES]

Love watching what you guys do, the new shop looks amazing bro!

[MrStanwyck]

Another great informative video. I’ve been learning and enjoying your shop move video series. I’ve being subscribed for a few years now and I like seeing how you implement lean manufacturing.

[BalticBlades]

Finnaly another video! So stoked to see the business grow! Can't wait for your products to be available in the EU!

Good tip about the flow rate through the air dryer.
I’ve been meaning to hook a dry tank up for a while, this is a good inspiration

[Michael-exuo]

Wheres the cough syrup? I was promised a video of a lean shop.

[mikehazenbosch]

Love the part about airflow/compressor
Thanks for the great content!

Good Morning Jay. Awesome shop, layout as expected. I was very interested to know what you came up with on machine spacing. Both minimum distance from the wall or the back side and spacing between the machines or left to right. I am working on a new shop as well but am doing just about everything by myself. My shop hopefully will be finished by October. Your electrical is really nice and I love your new air piping system. I really appreciate Your attention to detail. Thank You for the video

Love the kaizen corners! We recently had an issue with our hydrovane, as the screw compressor goes to a wet tank then our dryer, this was actually causing xorrosion issues. Our service engineer measured 0.4mm corrosion in the bottom of our tank. 0.5mm is allowable and its only 18 months old!

Great cells too btw. Wpuld love to see you share some of your own staffs improvementns with their own narration of a before and after. Norm O'hara is excellent at this if you need an example

[danielc]

Wooow.

Nice factory!!!

Congratulations!!!

That happens to me too… once you see and reduce waste or eliminate it become natural.

90% of what we do is waste, and can be improved.

With Variable-frequency drive pumps (Air or Hydraulics) you also generally save energy, because they can at lower speeds. Normal compressors run intermittently at their max speed.

Would love to see your programers techniques and tips.

One suggestion if I may, with your fire extinguishers, please please use a "clean agent", What I mean by that is a Halotron or even CO2. If you shoot dry chem into any of those machines, your done. The ABC dry chem will start to corrode in 12 hours, What the fire didn't get, the dry chem will. The migration of that dust is phenomenal.

[boprice]

Dunking for corrosion control? What product do you use, I moved to East Tennessee and parts rust before you can get them out of the machine😅. Great content Jay!
