The Captsone Project accomplishes manufacturing improvement and problem solving projects in the Clinton, CT facility of Stanley Bostitch. It is a collection of individual projects: Dies, SMED, Shift Handover, Lean Meeting, and Tangles. Dies, SMED and Shift Handover projects are correlated and done in the Clinton facility. Tangles project aims at resolving defect/reject issues between the given facility and its customer plant. Lean is the umbrella of skills, knowledge, and principles employed. Downtime and defect are the most prominent features of the resolved issues. Shop floopr investigation and solution development are the main modes of work. The project proves to be practical application of academic knowledge and professional skills of the industrial engineering education. The graduate education provides the knowledge base and source of Lean skills.
