Major Project 1Weld Timer Disconnects

Problem• Toggle mechanism of disconnect cracking due

to poor design• Weld timers cycle-powered by maintenance to

troubleshoot resulting in broken disconnects• Bus plugs throughout Weld shop not accessible

therefore shutting off the bus required

Major Project 1Weld Timer Disconnects

Solution• Alternative breaker • Audit bus plug accessibility• Audit number of cracking disconnects and prioritize• Shut down West and East side Red bus and coordinate upgrade

Major Project 1Weld Timer Disconnects

Results• All high and medium priority disconnects upgraded• Project completion=100% Funded through Contingency• A total of 80 cracked Weld timer disconnects upgraded• 80*4=320 hours of cumulative potential downtime avoided

Major Project 2Throughput Tracking

Stand Alone Uptime: Time in production-downtime Time in production-Throughput downtime

Learning experiences from this Internship• Management skills• Technical skills• ‘Real-world’ experience

Thank you for this opportunity!
