Bottom-up/Horizontal option
The CIT (Continuous Improvement team) in each plant is dedicated to development and
process improvement for each customer-specific project. Nypro can implement innovation only
in one test plant (often Clinton one) : if the benefit of a new process/technology is proved, the
CIT of other plants will copy it propose it to their customers
Each plan has a board who can validate a new process (found by its team) and proposes it as
a standard to be implemented company-wide
A customer has a
specific demand
Bi-component molding

Manufacturing resource
planning ( software
which gather
information and make it
available for the client
as well as Nypro. (topdown)
Choice of Customer
Nypros customers were Global companies with worldwide sourcing
needs
Plants were tailored to the markets and companies they served.
Key emphasis in Uniformity: Nypros 21 plants were identical with
20 to 24 Nestal molding machines in dust free clean rooms.
Uniformity precludes innovation at each individual plans.

Recommendation
The recommendation would be to go for a partial option #2, of installing two or three
Novaplast machines in a few of the most innovative plants
This is to ensure that consistency is not lost across plants due to innovation
The roll out has to be done almost immediately as they need to quote shorter
delivery times to capture market and do away with time involved in non-value added
activities such as changing molds, etc.
If successful then the new machines can be rolled out to the other plants
