We would like to introduce the achievements regarding the development of dedicated inspection jigs for a machinery manufacturer, which led to improved quality. At this manufacturer, dimensions at specified locations in the drawings were measured during part inspections, using accepted products; however, there were frequent defects. After improvements were made, inspection time was reduced, and with the enhancement of the inspection system, defects due to the same issues from the production line were eliminated. 【Summary of Achievements】 ■Challenges - Inspectors did not fully understand the intended use, and calipers could not accurately capture the shape, leading to incorrect inspections. ■Results - 70% reduction in inspection time - Reduction of wasted time due to part replacements *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the achievements of improving quality through the review of record forms and the introduction of "5 Whys Analysis" at the chemical plant. At the same plant, the analysis of issues when defects occurred was insufficient, and they were unable to reach the root cause. After improvements, they were able to accurately pursue the root cause through analysis using records and 5 Whys Analysis. 【Summary of Achievements】 ■Challenges - The content of work records was lacking, and it was not utilized for analyzing defects. - When investigating defect occurrences, the investigation relied on memory. ■Results - They were able to accurately pursue the root cause through analysis using records and 5 Whys Analysis. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce our achievements in updating documents and conducting regular audits at the chemical plant, as well as improving ISO operations. At the plant, the management of ISO documents was inadequate, leading to discrepancies between actual practices and operations. After improvements, the documents were revised to the latest version, and by establishing subsequent management methods, we achieved smooth maintenance and management. [Summary of Achievements] ■Challenges - On-the-job training (OJT) was the main focus, and the system for managing documents was insufficient. ■Results - The documents were revised to the latest version, and by determining subsequent management methods, we achieved smooth maintenance and management. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the achievements of a machinery manufacturer that implemented automatic measuring instruments to improve quality. At this manufacturer, calipers were used for incoming inspection of parts, but variations in measurement results and inspection times occurred due to different inspectors. After the implementation, variations in inspection results and inspection times by inspectors were eliminated. [Summary of Achievements] ■ Issues - Since AQL sampling inspection was adopted, a large quantity resulted in an increased number of inspection samples, which proportionally increased inspection time. ■ Results - The increase rate of inspection time due to the number of inspections and inspection points was suppressed. - Inspection time reduced by 20%, and quality stabilized. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the results of optimizing the setting conditions for the drying equipment at the chemical plant, which led to improved productivity. In this plant, the drying speed of the raw materials had decreased, resulting in daily overtime. This work was carried out in two shifts, with two employees coming in to handle different tasks. However, when overtime occurred during the late shift, it was necessary to have two people present according to regulations, leading to unnecessary overtime for one employee. After the improvements, the drying speed increased, and overtime was eliminated, resulting in no late-night overtime for the two employees. [Summary of Results] ■ Issues - Overtime during the late shift had become routine, leading to unnecessary labor costs. ■ Results - The drying speed increased, and overtime was eliminated, resulting in no late-night overtime for the two employees. - A reduction of 80 hours per month. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the results of improvements made to new designs of jigs at the chemical plant, which led to increased productivity. In this plant, there was a frequent occurrence of liquid leaks, requiring approximately 15 minutes of handling more than five times a day on some days, resulting in decreased productivity and loss of leaking raw materials. After the improvements, there were no occurrences of liquid leaks, leading to a reduction in handling time and raw material loss. [Summary of Results] ■ Issues - Work near rotating machinery that becomes high temperature was necessary, posing a danger. - The conventional liquid leak prevention equipment was not functioning adequately. ■ Results - With the reduction of raw material loss, daily production increased. - A reduction of 30 hours per month and a 20% increase in productivity. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
