Summary
UPM Supply Chain project
Eastern France suppliers sorted by region
Due to the shutdown of 2
paper machines in France,
some of the Eastern French
supplier had to be redirected
to the German mills. By
mapping and sorting the
supplier depending on
different criteria we were able
to minimize the transportation
time and direct suppliers to
the adequate mill, depending
on the RCP* grade, quality,
quantity and state. I will
present and explain some of
the maps.

The purpose of our study is to address
the baulking problem associated in the
Lechmere Auto Wash Center. The main
goal is to reduce the amount of
customers that baulk, being directly
related to the queue length at the
cashier station. By reducing the
customer baulk rate, the car wash
should be able to process more cars
and keep up with the demand hence
increasing revenue and saving
customers. To address this problem I
followed a data driven improvement
cycle, the DMAIC technic, in order to
drive a Six Sigma project
DMAIC: Define, Measure, Assign,
Improve, Control.

Original Arena Simulation
I used arena to simulate the initial
model, and validate my
measurements. Instant testing
and modifications in the process
can be done. I used the
information of the block diagram
to generate my code. The
simulate process was able to give
us a baseline for the process.

About me

The analyses of the
output of the arena
simulation, gave me
valid information
allowing me to create a
cause and effect
diagram. the major
causes for cars to baulk
are the queue length,
high cycle time and
poor utilization rates of
stations.

Improved Block Diagram
One of the major changes was to
increase the amount of pay
stations and reduce the number
of stalls, because according to
the data gathered from the initial
simulation, that was a major
bottleneck.

To insure a high quality level during the hall process, an
ongoing process management is needed. We also need to
develop an out of control action plan that will allow us to
understand the causes of any unusual output. The improved
simulation was used to create multiple replications and plot
the results.
Tow charts tracking critical values has been used to control
the process :
• Individual charts for the number of cars that baulks
• X_bar and R chart for the utilization rate of the stalls

Since our best fit is a normal
distribution we can conclude from this
histogram, that our data is randomly
distributed.

The resulting probability plot
shows a reasonable straight line
that would pass the “fat pencil
test”. Thus, it is reasonable to use
the normal distribution for this
data.
