Title:
Alan Ritchey-Niagara Water Offloading Process Improvement
Abstract:
Alan Ritchey truck drivers are experiencing excessively high wait times when unloading tanker trailers of drinking water at the Niagara bottling facility in Dallas. This wait time is causing high detention fees to be paid to the drivers, risk of overrunning federally controlled work times, and negative environmental impact from the trucks idling for extended periods of time. In our senior design project, we will decrease driver wait times at the bottling facility by closely examining the current process and seeking out any causes of the wait times that can be changed and improved.
