This project focuses on the optimization and configuration of the maintenance storage crib at the Frito-Lay plant in Killingly, Connecticut (KLY), with the goal of reducing the manufacturing overhead costs in the maintenance department. Critical aspects of the project include aligning physical inventory with the SAP EAM system, addressing communication issues between departments regarding part ownership that affect part flow, and the design of engineering solutions to storage density and efficiency within designated segments of the Crib Area. To achieve these goals, the Senior Design (SD) Team will: focus on optimizing critical spare parts inventory and updating the Bill of Materials (BOM) for better workflow efficiency; use queue theory to track the movement and impediment of critical parts; and use engineering software to model and simulate the viability of various storage solutions and part configurations. Success depends on accurate system integration, effective adoption by the Operations and Maintenance teams, and ensuring that all customizations meet the site’s specific requirements. The project is constrained by a defined timeline, limited on-site equipment, and the necessity of coordination with PepsiCo’s larger objectives. Key aspects that need to be carefully monitored include system performance under high operational loads, employee adoption of the newly created operating procedures, compliance with agency and federal regulations, and accurately representing the site’s physical inventory with a virtual catalog. Focusing on these principles to produce a communications deliverable to resolve ownership issues, a manufacturing-focused deliverable to trace part flow, and an engineering-focused deliverable to improve storage capacity and safety will improve KLY’s mechanical efficiency.
