IE volunteers wanted to consult on long term service project to improve work center operations at Ability First.
Moderator
IIE Los Angeles is looking for
volunteers to contribute to an ambitious service project consulting with
AbilityFirst to improve their operations (assembly, fulfillment, etc.) (Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, Pasadena)
IIE Los Angeles wishes to run this service project as a large consulting
firm. Each of the three Work Centers will have an IIE assigned manager
to coordinate engineering activities and be primary point person with
the Center Director. Managers will direct the work of volunteer
engineers who will gather raw data and initial analysis on the work site
(DMAIC process using A3 reporting tools). Managers will also use
"staff" volunteers from IIE who will act as Subject Matter Experts (SME)
(logistics, warehousing, distribution, work standards, etc.)
The first problem that must be attacked is one of capacity. What is
capacity and how should it be defined? Each work center specializes in
something different. Part of the full analysis is the rationalization
of activities, space, assets and talent at each of these locations.
Then integrating the results into one report for the enterprise.
Interested? Please respond to this posting so everyone can see who is
"in". It may bring others. There are "positions" for all level of
skill levels. It is a way for those with skills to see how those skills
can be applied to a different industry. Also a way to actively
participate in using tools which you may know but never practiced. And
if you have no experience, it is a way to gain experience.

Thanks for your interest

Ted, All,
I'm really interested in this! I have been living in LA for about 18 months now and am two years out of school where I studied industrial engineering at Montana State. I met a few members at the meeting in Burbank last fall. Currently I work for an aerospace parts manufacturer near Gardena, and I've been looking for something like this to get involved with.
Can't wait to hear more.
