LEARNING LAUNCH FOR CREATING BASIC EQUIPMENT STANDARDS 

 Challenge : 

 I work in a pharmaceutical company which manufactures sterile injectable vials . In this environment   during packing of vials if any stoppage of line happens which is combination of machines in series to   do different activities then whole batch has to be rejected . This is because if stoppage happens then   human / operator has to intervene which could result in breach of sterility requirement . 

 So to avoid this problem there was a need of creating basic maintenance standards which can be   executed by the operator themselves rather than engineering maintenance team . But when I   approached operators and told about the idea , their reply was disappointing like “ we have never   done any maintenance activities related to to this line by ourselves and also we do n’t have time to   do extra activities ” 

 Selection : 

 Then I decided to do a learning launch on the tentative basic and simple maintenance standard for   one of the equipment in the line to check operator ’s excitement & acceptance level to the same & as   solution to the stoppage of line during vials batch production . For this I took the reference of the 3rd   video named ‘ Learning launch tool ’ of   4th week of the course design thinking for innovation . 

 Application : 

 At first I identified the critical check points and activities for continuous running of the line from   instructions and maintenance manual . Then to identify what wows & works for the users I have   interviewed 3 operators out of 6 operators different equipment ’s of the line each for 15 minutes to   get to know about their pain and their interest which they would like . I have chosen a short period   of time to ensure that even if I fail , I fail cheap as I have not used much of the scare resource i.e.   time of both operators and myself . The outcome of this was they would like to do any specific and   less time consuming activities which will address their pain of blame for rejection of batch . 

 So based on this I have prepared a checklist of to do activities for one machine named filling   machine which fills medicine into vials . 

 When I first tested it with operators I realized that it should address the ambiguity during execution   & also do the task of supporting logistics(items needed for execution ) . 

 Based on this first launch and a smaller time experiment of 50 minutes I revised the checklist of   filling machine with more specificity like dividing each task of checklist into one of the 5 categories 1 )   cleaning 2 ) adjustment 3 ) tightening 4 ) lubrication and 5)Inspection with the required tool & support   from housekeeping team in arranging the required logistic tools for the team and defining place and   quantity for each of these . 

 Based on this when I did the second launch the operators were more positive as it has taken only 19   minutes to execute & told me that they would love doing this . 

 Insight : 

 From this learning launch experience I learned and actually witnessed the power of testing idea with   users / customers and refining them for the success of offering . When I crated the second learning   launch I came to know that specific tasks like adjustment , tightening , lubrication etc has cleared the   ambiguity and unknown work pressure from the mind of operators & has given me insight for   preparing same kind of checklist standards right first time for all of the other 5 equipment ’s of the   vial line .
