Philip Washburn: Improvement in Affordable Housing Development

Figure 1. The percentage of applicants each month that were approved over a
16 month period. During this time we made 2 significant changes resulting in
2 clear shifts in the amount applications approved.
Figure 2. The pre-improvement process map was complicated and overly
burdensome, with multiple unnecessary steps. The improved process had 6
unnecessary steps removed.
Figure 3. We saw a significant reduction in process days immediately after
the process change. As noted though, with the process change we changed
the bottleneck. We soon began approving more applicants than we could
get through construction, which has now caused a much longer wait for
construction
Figure 4. The above Pareto Chart of defects shows the leading causes for why
donations took more than 30 minutes to process and get on the sales floor. The
“Jared Pile” represented items which did not have a standard pricing structure
and required input from the manager. This created a bottleneck and caused the
largest delays.
Figure 5 and 6. Our donation processing room after completion of a 5S. Room
had been cleaned, unnecessary items removed, labels on where specific items
go, and rearranged for better flow of material.
Figure 7 and 8. During a 5S, we noticed an obvious problem with our scrap
metal station. It was disorganized and overflowing. It was moved and labeled
with a visual cue of when it needs to be taken to the scrap yard. When it reaches
the tape, it is time to remove it.
