CE 1.1 Project InformationName of the project: Material cost reduction/productivity for GE Aircraft Engine usingdesign to cost effective processLocation of the project: Bangalore, IndiaProject Duration: May 2009 to July 2012Organization: GE Aircraft EngineRole and Designation during the time: Leader for productivity (Master Black Belt)CE 1.2 Project BackgroundCE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the projectGE Aviation is one of the subsidiary of the General Electric with the companyheadquarters in Evendale, Ohio. The company has been in business for around 100 years. Thecompany is one of the largest supplier of aircraft engine and provides engines to most of thecommercial aircraft manufacturers. The major competitors of the company are Rolls-Royce andPratt & Whitney. The company specializes in the development and research in the field ofaircraft engine. I was employed in the company for the understanding of the designing andmanufacturing process being followed by the company for the development of their aircraftengines. I was also asked to lead the team of black belts to develop a method to reduce the costof production of the aircraft engines by a factor of $1000 per engine per year. This factor was tobecome the threshold limit and the main objective for the completion of this project.
CE 1.2.2 Objectives developed for the projectI had followed the primary objective of reducing the engine structure bill of materials(BOM) by a factor of $1000 / engine / year. The objective was followed throughout thecompletion of the project so that at the end of the project the project delivery was as per therequirement of the client. CE 1.2.3 My area of workI was the leader and the technical expert of the project. I was a part of the black beltdesigner for the designing of the cost initiative in the company. I had worked for the teachingand guiding of the engineers and the other black belts for the understanding of the design processand the process for the reduction of the cost of production. Apart from this I was asked tomanage the key performance indicators for the DTC initiatives. The main objective followed isthe reduction of the cost of the production of the engine due to the gradual increase in themanufacturing cost per year. I had worked on the facilitation for the brain storming session forthe tool deployment activity for the cost effective calculation.
