Workers at GE Aviation’s Lafayette, Indiana, jet engine-manufacturing plant were facing a problem. They had to hand-start 48 nuts in a tedious process that forced technicians to use repetitive wrist and hand movements.
A cross-functional team used lean management to come up with a creative solution, one that is now receiving acclaim from the Applied Ergonomics Society. The GE team recently won the society’s prestigious 2022 Ergo Cup in the competition’s largest category, Team-Driven Workplace Solutions with Internal Competitions.
“If you see something, say something,” said Kelsey Barnett, a technician at the GE Aviation factory that is assembling CFM International’s fuel-efficient LEAP engines (pictured above), which power the latest generation of Airbus and Boeing narrow-body jets. (CFM is a 50-50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines.)
In assembling the LEAP engine’s compressor module assembly, technicians had to turn the nuts using only a quarter-inch socket extension and with limited visibility. The team developed computer-aided design software to draw up a prototype of a gear-driven socket wrench, borrowing on a gear-and-belt concept from another tool in use at the plant. The technicians added a small mirror to the wrench, which would allow them to see into the blind flange of the module and ensure that a nut is installed. The newly designed tool also allowed them to keep their arms, wrists and shoulders in a more neutral position.
The new nut assembly tool eliminates 16 ergonomic risk factors. It could generate an estimated injury prevention savings of $77,000 and result in an annual operational savings of $2,641. “Really small changes to your tool or work station can make significant improvements to your daily work life,” Barnett told GE Reports.
