Challenge 

 I work   on the floor as a machinist in a large machine shop , producing parts for tools in the   semiconductor industry . I work with a large variety of materials on a daily basis , including exotic metals ,   steels , and a very large variety of plastics . Due to the great variance in materials used daily , we have the   need for a variety of many different tools to be used at any given time for each particular application .   Due to the need for these tools on - demand , it is critical we have the correct tool on hand and organized   at all times .The challenge we ’re having is organization of these tools , and making sure they are on hand   when needed . Another problem we were having was that there were only a few people keeping track of   the tools for everyone and trying to keep inventory up to the need of everyone . 

 Selection 

 The tool I chose for our challenge was the learning launch tool . We will be able to do a small   experiment , test an idea , and learn and improve on it . 

 Application 

 We started doing our research and data gathering by talking to the people on the floor that were   directly involved as they use these tools on a daily basis and have experienced the frustration of not   having what is required at the time they need it . After gathering everyone ’s input and getting a general   agreement , we decided to locate all the tooling in one central area , labeled for easy identification , and   accessible to everyone . After trying this experiment for a short time , it was obvious this was n’t the   correct solution to our problems . The few people that were in charge of maintaining it were not able to   keep constant attention to it , resulting in incorrect inventory and even more inventory being used . After   another round of brainstorming , we came up with a new solution . We would use a vending machine ,   which will keep continuous inventory on hand by using automatic re - ordering , have the correct amount   of inventory , eliminating the over usage of tooling , and everyone would still have individual access to it ,   checking out the tooling they need . It worked very well and is still being used . 

 Insight and Approach 

 What I have learned from using the learning launch tool is that it was very effective in our application ,   due to the ability to experiment with different ideas to see which one fits our needs . It also gave the   stakeholders the ability to have complete input into the final solution . This would be the tool I would use   again in our situation , as it has the flexibility and requirements needed for our challenge
