Project Management
A comprehensive description of the project's functional requirements voiced by the customer outlining the desired functions, amounts, devices, and metrics.
What is the Voice of Customer (VOC)?
This EM activity is Clorox’s structured approach to ensuring quality is intentionally built into both the product design and manufacturing process, rather than relying on inspection or correction after production. The goal is to minimize risk, drive cross-functional alignment, ensure regulatory and Clorox requirements are met, and enable the manufacturing process to consistently produce in-specification product the first time.
What is Quality by Design (QbD)?
This activity ensures the site is prepared to receive, start up and integrate into on-going operations new processes, equipment or other changes that will deliver the target criteria.
What is Operational Readiness?
This activity minimizes project risk by having new equipment systems tested with supplier and any issues found are resolved prior to commissioning at the plant. The objective is to determine whether the system performs to the specifications, can deliver safety requirements, target OEE, quality product, and is acceptable for startup.
This exercise is a process to capture feedback from project teams primarily regarding EM activities and identify desired improvements, additions or deletions in all areas.
What is Project Learnings?
This EM tool is a structured risk reduction method, that helps you identify and counter weak points. It can be used during the design of products and processes and re-evaluation of existing processes with the purpose of recommending and taking actions that reduce risk.
What is a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)?
This EM activity was established for the purpose of designing training materials that ensure consistency, uniformity and continuous improvement in the delivery and the qualification of skills with all associates using structured formats.
What is Deliver T&Q (Training & Qualification)?
Clorox parameters and procedures that provide specific requirements to engineering designers, machine builders and equipment installers to ensure equipment is delivered and installed compliant with Clorox standards.
What are EM Guidelines?
This EM task establishes the safety-by-design requirements that must be incorporated into equipment and process designs. Its purpose is to proactively identify, assess, and reduce risks through standardized engineering practices, risk assessments, HAZOPs, machine safeguarding, ergonomics, and other safety design tools so that all Clorox facilities receive equipment that meets consistent safety expectations.
What is Deliver Safety Requirements?
This activity begins early in the project and is completed during the Develop and Design Phase after the Voice of the Customer. It is an evolving document until approved and aligns the project team and leadership on success criteria and predictable start-up metrics.
What is the Target Criteria?
Early and clear alignment on this EM activity's scope will avoid PSSR corrective action items and equipment field modifications. It focuses on ensuring new equipment is safe, reliable, maintainable, and capable of consistent operation from day one. It includes performing pre-FAT inspections, tracking and resolving abnormalities, establishing autonomous and preventive maintenance practices, implementing machine and process centerlines, minimizing unnecessary adjustment points, applying mistake-proofing techniques, and providing clear lubrication standards and maintenance procedures.
