New Hire at the Pen Factory

What is Equipment Inspection?

Equipment Inspection

Before starting work, check whether the equipment is running properly according to the specified items.

What it means

Equipment inspection involves checking the items listed on the checklist one by one and leaving the results. Set a routine, such as doing it every day or week.

If there is a problem, we fix it, and there is little that has been fixed. It is cheaper to find something before it stops than to fix it after it stops.

At the pen factory

During the morning inspection on the 20th day, the spring feeder screws are found to be loose and tightened. It may have been because the assembler stopped for 30 minutes two days ago.

Why it matters

Once the facility is built, all subsequent plans will be pushed back.
