Problem Statement:
Estimating Issue
The criteria used to classify coated glass lites as
Below Coating Minimums is hard to understand for

customer.
Order Processing Issue
The charge is hard to enforce due to order entry
system constraints.

Estimating
Baseline definition of Below Coating Minimums:
IF we can figure out which sizes qualify

What we publish externally:


Minimum coating capacity is 12 x 36 (305mm x 915mm) or 24 x 24
(610mm x 610mm) due to fabricating equipment limitations. Sizes below
these minimums are not included in this quotation. However, Viracon may
approve a limited number of sizes below these coating minimums if design
changes cannot be made to accommodate fabrication limitations. Due to
special equipment manipulations, a 15 square foot (1.39m2) minimum charge
per unit is applicable for all glass types, if approved.
Then we charge

for the customer.

The order entry process for sizes


identified as Below Coating

number of sizes below these coating minimums if design changes cannot be
made to accommodate fabrication limitations. Due to special equipment
manipulations, a 15 square foot (1.39m2) minimum charge per unit is applicable
for all glass types, if approved.

After:
In addition to the square foot price and applicable square foot minimum quoted for
this job, there will be a charge of $35 per coated lite/unit for all lites/units less than
3 square feet. All coated lites/units less than 2 square feet require manufacturing
approval.

White Paper
Date: 10/28/05
Problem Statement:
The criteria used to classify coated glass lites as Below Coating Minimums is hard to
understand for us internally, and extremely confusing for the customer.
The charge is hard to enforce due to order entry system constraints.
Objective:
Reduce value stream defects.
Implement an appropriate charge that the market can bear.
Tools Used:

CE / CNX
FMEA

Error Proofing

White Paper (Cont.)


Knowledge Gained:
Our definition of Under Coating Minimums was so complicated, everyone in the
value stream had a difficult time identifying qualifying lites.
The order entry process was completely manual, so charging for these lites was
difficult, and easily forgotten.
It was essential that Under Coating Minimums be re-defined in a way that was
useful throughout the entire value stream.
16% of all jobs with coated glass have lites < 3 sq. ft.
3% of all coated lites are < 3 sq. ft.

Business Results:
Increased Potential Revenue 9% to 77%.
Expect 98 - 100% once all existing jobs have been processed
Increased process yield from 2% to 79%.
Expect 98 - 100% once all existing jobs have been processed
The approximate additional annualized revenue: $960,000 to $1,200,00.
Removed market perception of excessive sq. ft. minimums.
