XX CELL - GENERAL
The guidelines for 5S in each area of the Signal Sources cell will be maintained in a clearly labeled binder at the cell leader bench. Any employee may suggest updates to the documentation. Cell leaders and managers are responsible for maintaining updates. Only the current approved version will be stored in the binder and this will be the only authorized copy for setting the 5S expectations within the area.

The Signal Sources area of responsibility is divided into separate locations for the purposes of conducting 5S activities. These areas are: 1. The Cell Operation area (cell proper). It includes the Supermarket as well as operations on the main route from board test though shipping. Also included are the communication (stand-up) areas, shift report and SQDC/QDIL board content. 2. Troubleshooting and Repair area. This includes technician benches and the storage locations within this area. Also included is test fixture storage, and board repair benches. 3. Administration Areas: This includes manager, cell lead and material handler desks as well as the staging, quarantine and rejects storage areas controlled and managed by these individuals. 4. Annex and NPI lab: DAILY ACTIVITIES: Each operator, technician, material handler and manager will conduct a 5S audit of their individual work area at the end of each shift. All tools will be verified and left in the appropriate positions. Work surfaces will be clean. Floors will be free of debris. Any unnecessary items will be removed. Trashcans will be emptied. Calibration dates will be verified. WEEKLY ACTIVITIES: All employees will participate in weekly audits and corrections to findings during the audits.

6/7/2013 AUDITS: Audits will be conducted by each shift on a weekly basis at the end of the shift. Results will be posted on the SQDC/QDIL board. Outside audits will be conducted at least once per quarter by an individual who has been trained to do so from any other group or support function. FLOOR TAPING: Refer to the reference sheet titled Level 3: Visual Controls Floor Taping at the end of this document. FLOORS: Floors are to be kept free of debris. Normal scuff marks are the responsibility of the weekly cleaning service but any lack of service should be called to the attention of the cell manager and the site manager for Washington Group. WALLS and VERTICAL SURFACES: Building walls and cubicle may be used as approved by managers to display information, posters and pictures relevant to our business, events or current information. AISLES: Aisle ways will be kept clear at all times even if a manager has authorized temporary overflow. Trip hazards and obstacles to safe exit from the area are to be avoided at all times. CEILNGS: Ceiling tiles should be free of obvious stains, breaks or holes. Burned out bulbs should be brought to the attention of Washington Group for maintenance. Note that some areas have bulbs removed with management approval

XX MAIN CELL
CELL OPERATION AREAS Each work bench will use shadow boards for tools or have taped out space for items that belong on horizontal surfaces. Benches and PCs should be regularly cleaned. Cords and cables should be neatly dressed or stored and off the floor. Work Instructions are posted on the company web site and will be open and used for each build sequence. Clipboards will be hanging at each station for displaying current waivers and bench inventory sheets) Kanban disciplines are TBD. Only necessary items are to be present. Necessary items are to be clearly labeled. All necessary items present and in their proper location at end of shift. All equipment has current calibration dates. No trip hazards At no time should food items be found within the ESD protected cell area. The stand up area should be free of chairs, instruments and material other than what is needed for show-and-tell.

KANBAN AND QUEUE LOCATIONS TBD

6/7/2013 SUPERMARKET: Flow Racks should be clean, labeled and orderly. All part locations for storage are to be marked on both the front and back of flow racks. All individual boxes and totes are to be labeled with the current part numbers (no use of xx suffix). Water skipper carts are to be left in taped out locations except when in use. Personal notes, etc. are allowed on the work surface of the cart or pc location during the shift but must be removed at the end of each shift.

SFGI and SFGI OVERFLOW: Instruments will be placed on the approved storage racks/locations in an orderly fashion.

XX Cell TECHNICIAN AREA

TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR Technician bench tops and shelves are for tools, equipment and reference material to be shared by bench partners. Items on the bench top and shelves will be neatly organized and clearly labeled. The only items to be stored at the bench are those items which are used frequently throughout the week. Items used less frequently than on a weekly basis but are still needed for current work activities will be stored in the storage cabinet. All items in this cabinet will have a designated and neatly labeled location for storage. The top bench drawer should contain shadow boards for tools. The bottom drawer will contain neatly stored and organized reference material such as personal copies of schematics or personal notes and other reference materials. TROUBLESHOOTING TEST FIXTURE STORAGE: Each fixture is to be labeled with name or part number. Fixtures are to be stored in designated locations or taped out floor locations when not in use. As fixtures are needed they are moved to a work bench. They are to be returned to storage at the end of the shift or when finished working with them. TOOL and MISC EQUIPMENT STORAGE: Items infrequently used and shared by technicians will be kept in a storage cabinet adjacent to the test fixture storage. Items in the cabinet will be neatly labeled and stored.

XX Cell ADMINISTRATIVE AND MATERIAL SUPPORT AREAS

The purpose for these standards is two-fold: 1. Desk areas should be kept visually appropriate for tours, important customers and other visitors. 2. In the event of an unplanned absence, the desk area should be organized and labeled well enough to allow a person with general knowledge of the role to take over with a minimum of difficulty in understanding what stage various tasks were left in and where necessary records are stored.

ADMINISTRATIVE DESK AREAS: Administrative desk areas should be neat, well-organized and free of clutter at the end of each work shift. Nothing shall extend above the height of higher cube walls. Work surfaces shall be clean of stains and debris. Drink and food items and containers should be properly stored away in the break area, personal lockers or designated drawer space at the end of each shift. No appliances (coffee pots, microwaves, refrigerators, etc.) Desks which are not shared with others are allowed personal items so long as they do not impede on required workspace if others need to use the desk. Personal items should be appropriate to a business environment. Floors should be clear of items other than trash can, one recycle box and personal heaters or fans approved by managers. Miscellaneous supplies should be neatly stored in pencil and desk drawers. Only currently active work should exist on the desktop. Cabinet surfaces should not be used for desktop overflow but may be labeled and used for appropriate holding space for work. Drawers, cabinets and work in progress should be labeled well enough for others to step in during an absence. Reference material posted on interior walls should be current and necessary. All parts and assemblies temporarily at a desk will be properly protected. They will be re-located to their proper storage locations before the end of the shift. Exceptions are allowed only for overnight attention and communication to the next days shift.

6/7/2013 QUARANTINE: The quarantine area is used to temporarily store material or instruments being evaluated or with some kind of problem causing it need to be kept apart from supermarket inventory. Items kept in this area must be labeled with the following information: What it is Why it is in quarantine Who is responsible or owns the items/problem Date the item went into quarantine and if known, how long it is expected to be stored there. Items in the area should be reviewed at least on a monthly basis to be sure they do not linger for long periods of time without action. STAGING AREA: Items in the staging area are instruments staged for work activities that are not part of the cell daily rate or are waiting for some support activity. Examples are: Code 5 warehouse returns Waiting for rework Production Hold. As items move into the staging area the white board will be updated with the following information: Date in Who is responsible Reason for the item being in the staging area What needs to happen for it to move out and/or expected date for it to move out

As items leave the staging area they should be erased from the white board so that the white board is always up-to-date with the current content of the staging area. This area should be audited as part of the end of shift clean up activities each work day. This is not a location for storing parts or collecting unnecessary items.

REJECT AREA: Reject parts must be clearly labeled and should be found in only one of three areas: 1. Cell lead desk tops have clearly marked bins for parts coming off the line as material needing to be rejected. Cell leaders print the appropriate tags and do all necessary quality record entries. This work should generally be completed before leaving for the day. 2. Once rejects have been appropriately labeled and transacted by the cell lead, they are moved to the black bins on the reject carts adjacent to the staging area. Material Handlers process these items on a daily basis by transacting them in Oracle. As they do so, the material is moved to the orange bins for an engineering review prior to having the parts scrapped. Engineers will make the final determinations as to whether these parts can be used as is, returned to vendors or discarded as scrap. 3. Cell lead benches also have separate bins for returning reject parts to each shift cell leader when the reject tags have not been properly filled out. This ensures the correct individual gets the appropriate feedback for corrective action in the future. These bins are not to be used to deposit reject parts for any other reason. No part should linger in any one location for more than two business days. Exceptions should be brought to the shift managers attention so that additional help can be called for as needed. Rejecting parts in a timely manner ensures we can keep appropriate inventory levels and have knowledge about leading edge quality problems.
