Project Management Strategies QSO 4-3 Jaye Carter-Brumfield January 26, 2023 Lean Manufacturing :
After looking through the flowchart that NationaliTeas is presently using, I was able to spot stages that don't further the ideas of lean manufacturing. After the second drying, the leaves should be spread out on the scale to be weighed, sorted on the weight table, and cleaned of any low-quality, small, or discolored leaves. This
will give you the final weight of the tea leaves, allow the leaves to oxidize, and then
move them on to packaging with the proper weight. Reducing the unnecessary process of weighing several times permits a stronger focus to be placed on details of greater importance and raises the final product's quality.
Sustainability: When separating the leaves, eliminate those that are low-quality, undersized, oddly
shaped, or discolored, and place the remaining leaves in a compost pile so that the inedible portions may still be used, although in a different method. Doing so will prevent landfills from becoming more polluted. The four phases that, in my opinion, ought to be eliminated are Poor-quality leaves being removed from trays, the leaves being reweighed, the leaves going through a second sorting process, and the tea bags being sealed. Each of the given stages can be combined with the one before it. Even though there may still be work to be done, by following the previous
step, it may be done in a single, constant stream. The overwhelming level of packing
is increasing landfill garbage and packaging waste. Companies provide biodegradable, recyclable, and recycled pouches, bags, and labels as well as other sustainable eco-friendly packaging options.
