Enhancing Efficiency in Dresser-Rand’s Piping and Packaging Line Through Process Improvement

This project focuses on improving the efficiency of the Piping and Packaging line at Dresser-Rand’s Olean facility. The goal is to significantly reduce the assembly cycle time from 2-3 months to just 16 days, addressing the current backlog of orders while ensuring high safety standards for employees. Utilizing lean production techniques, the project employs the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology and factory simulation/modeling to optimize workflows, enhance space utilization, and meet the demands in the oil, gas, and chemical sectors.

  1. Project Information • Project Name • Process Improvement Project • Project Number • P09457 • Project Family • Sustainable Technology for the Global Market • Track • Process Improvement Innovations • Faculty Guide • Professor John Kaemmerlen • Primary Customer • Dresser-Rand with the point of contact being Dennis Rice at the Olean facility • Team Members • Eric MacCormack • Colin Roy • Jimmy Ichihana • Cody Rath • Duke Bonaventura

  2. Customer Overview • “For more than 100 years, Dresser-Rand has been among the largest global suppliers of rotating equipment solutions, with field-proven centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, steam turbines, expanders, gas turbine packages, and control systems.” • Produce equipment worldwide for companies within the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, process industries. • Olean facility is 2 hours Southwest of Rochester.

  3. Customer Needs • The goal of the project is to reduce cycle time of the Piping and Packaging line. • Products can be assembled in 16 days but are taking 2-3 months • Currently, there is a 2 year backlog of orders for Dresser-Rand’s products. • Maintain a high level of safety for the employees. • Free up some floor space within the plant.

  4. Approach to solutions • Implement lean production techniques into the piping and packaging line in order to reduce the cycle time of final assembly. • P-D-C-A: Establish a baseline, implement solutions, verify/analyze results. • Simulation/modeling • Factory CAD • Part Family Assessment/Custom Tooling/ Accuracy of Drawings
