Skill management promotion support

We will support the promotion of your company's skill management!

Regarding skill management, I will comment primarily on skill management for workers in the manufacturing industry. Skill management generally refers to the process of visualizing the skills that workers possess and making them available as shared information within the company. Once skill management is established, it can be utilized in various ways, such as considering personnel allocation in each department, assigning tasks (referring to the distribution of work to individuals, where managers assign tasks or duties to their subordinates), and for the purpose of performance evaluations. On the other hand, when promoting skill improvement through skill management, it becomes possible to enhance visual management levels, correct skill variations, and promote multi-skilled workers. Furthermore, in manufacturing processes that are primarily centered around human labor, it can significantly influence the quality of manufactured products and the productivity of the production line. Here, I will specifically mention the key points for implementing skill management aimed at promoting various benefits from improving the proficiency of manufacturing process workers. Support and guidance regarding the approach to skill management, including its structure, item setting, evaluation criteria, and educational methods, will be the focus of production technology consulting.

Support for the creation of engineering design plans.

We support the improvement of the level of process design planning in production technology!

It is important to systematize the approach to production technology-related work and to clarify the tasks that should be implemented. The process design plan document serves as a format for establishing an overall plan at the start of process design for new products, rationalization, etc. Whether it is a new business, a new product, or a response to rationalization, anything planned as a point of change in the flow (above a certain level) requires goal setting to execute that plan. The goals for process design work include clarifying the investment amount, allowable flow quantity (such as MT), processing costs (man-hours), layout (required area, logistics), and target quality (target defect rate), as well as determining when these will be executed. The purpose of establishing the "Process Design Plan Guidelines" is to formalize these goal-setting contents as operational rules. Support related to such goal setting will be the subject of consulting.

Support for building QA networks

We will assist in laying a network for quality assurance through the construction of a QA network.

The QA network is characterized by its analysis being displayed in a matrix format, as the name suggests. A single defect does not necessarily occur in just one process. When it spans multiple processes, there is a possibility of oversight in FMEA, and precisely as a safety net, extracting the relevant processes without omission becomes a major objective of the QA network. We will provide a series of support related to the construction of this QA network.

Support for setting management points in QC engineering charts.

We will assist you in setting up management points for the QC engineering table.

As management points, they can be broadly divided into condition setting (INPUT) items and appearance confirmation (OUTPUT) items. In other words, it is necessary to determine the conditions under which processing will occur in the target process and how to confirm and evaluate the results of that processing. For example, in the case of resistance (projection) welding as the target process, the condition management items include current values (peak value, effective value), energization time, electrode pressure, etc., while the appearance management items include welding condition (spatter, melting state), nugget diameter, welding strength (primarily based on base material fracture), etc. For these, it is essential to set management intervals (sampling intervals such as total count, start and end), managers (recorders, verifiers), tools for management confirmation (visual inspection, tactile inspection, measuring instruments, equipment display values, etc.), and management methods (checks, control charts), among others. In addition to these, it is also necessary to describe content related to equipment maintenance and safety/environmental checks for each target equipment and process. Based on the above, we will support the setting of management points in the QC process chart.

Support for the introduction of masterpieces

We will support the introduction of the original masterpiece.

The purpose of confirmation by the master piece is to ensure that the equipment subject to processing and inspection operates normally and that dimensions and performance can be accurately assessed. Typically, sampling confirmations are conducted at the start and end of shifts. Below, I will comment on the management methods for items that serve as standards for position and dimensions, as well as for performance and characteristics. 1. Items that serve as standards for position and dimensions: In many cases, items that serve as standards for position and dimensions are required for confirming foolproof operation in the processing stage (F.P) and for verifying dimensional accuracy in the inspection stage. These items are often relatively rigid, but due to expected aging changes from long-term use, regular measurement of dimensions and positions (numerical confirmation) is necessary. 2. Items that serve as standards for performance and characteristics: In various processes, items that serve as standards for the performance and characteristics of semi-finished and finished products may be required for performance inspections and final shipping inspections. Here too, due to expected aging changes from long-term use, regular measurement of performance and characteristics (numerical confirmation) is necessary. As mentioned above, we will support the introduction of master pieces.

Support for the format of examination survey reports

We will support you regarding the format of the examination survey report.

To solidify our company's technology, it is essential to have backing from the research results, which will also serve as a tool for passing down knowledge to future engineers. Just as excellent chefs have detailed recipes for what is commonly referred to as factory know-how, thorough and meticulous investigation and documentation can lead to the formalization of tacit knowledge. This is also true for production engineers; especially considering the goal of ensuring mass production quality, there are limitless opportunities for improvement, and the subjects of testing and investigation are infinite. As for the subjects of testing and investigation in production technology operations, examples include investigations related to processing and inspection conditions, specification determination, various defect factor investigations and defect rate reduction studies, processing time reduction studies, measures to improve operational efficiency, and environmental improvement studies, among many other topics related to QC + α. In light of the above, I will provide support regarding the format of the testing and investigation report.

Support for routine equipment inspections.

We will support your company's approach to routine equipment inspections.

Here, I will describe the contents that the operators of the department handling the equipment should check on a daily basis, separate from the regular inspections and statutory inspections conducted by the specialized maintenance department, in the form of "Daily Inspection Guidelines." 【Daily Inspection Guidelines】 (Purpose of Daily Inspections) - By conducting the specified inspections at the start and end of shifts, the equipment usage department can confirm that the equipment is operating normally and take measures (before and after) to prevent any disruption to operations. If any abnormalities are found, immediate confirmation and repairs by the specialized department should be carried out to help maintain the equipment in normal condition. (Content of Daily Inspections) - Tailored to the characteristics of the target equipment, the content should allow for instant confirmation of normal and abnormal conditions, incorporating insights from the specialized and related departments. (Inspection items, inspection frequency, inspection tools, responsible persons, etc.) (Format of Daily Inspection Sheets) - The responsibility for the regulations of the equipment daily inspection work guidelines and overall management responsibility (confirmation of the inspection status of the target equipment) lies with the equipment maintenance department. (For some parts-related equipment, it is the quality assurance department.) - The responsibility for the confirmation tasks using the daily equipment inspection sheets lies with the equipment ownership department (such as the production department), etc. Based on the above, we will support your company's approach to daily equipment inspections.

Support for the operation method of limit samples.

We will support you in the operation of your company's limit samples.

Below are three representative purposes for setting standards: 1. For evaluating the quality of products or semi-finished goods where quantitative testing is difficult and reliance on qualitative judgment is necessary. 2. For evaluating the quality of products or semi-finished goods that can be quantitatively assessed but are subject to reasons such as being labor-intensive or requiring advanced technology (and thus costly), which have been subjected to visual inspection of all units. 3. For situations where it is difficult to establish criteria for good or bad judgment, such as scratches, dents, or chips, but there is a need to impose some restrictions on occurrences that are actually happening, to be extracted from liquid products and set as samples. Based on the above, we will support your company's method of operating limit samples.

Support for the way of managing charts.

We will provide support for the management chart's structure.

There are two types of control charts: 1. Measurement values and 2. Count values. 1. Control charts for measurement values Control charts for measurement values use continuously changing data. Typical examples include the "X-R control chart" and the "X-s control chart." In the X-R control chart, the average value X within a group is graphed in the X chart, and the range R within each group is graphed in the R chart. These are arranged vertically to allow simultaneous viewing of the data's average and distribution range, resulting in the X-R control chart. The X-s control chart creates an X-R control chart that graphs the average value within a group and an s chart that graphs the standard deviation of the data for each group. These are also arranged vertically to allow simultaneous viewing of the average value and standard deviation. The X-R control chart, which uses the maximum and minimum values of the data, can lead to a large number of data points, making it difficult to see the variation within the range. The X-s control chart uses the standard deviation s instead of the range R to make the variation clearer. 2. Control charts for count values Control charts for count values use discrete data. The main types include "P control chart," "Pn control chart," "C control chart," and "U control chart." Based on the above, we will provide support regarding the appropriate use of control charts.

Support for the nature of the cause-and-effect diagram.

We will provide support for the characteristics and factors diagram!

When creating a cause-and-effect diagram, the following steps are taken: (1) Determine the issue (characteristic) and create the backbone. (In production technology, identify the details of defects, etc.) (2) Create the major bones. (It is easier to understand if you categorize the major bones according to the 5M1E.) (3) Create the middle bones (list the contents that could be factors of the major bones). (4) Create the minor bones (list the contents that could be factors of the middle bones). The characteristic of the cause-and-effect diagram is to organize the factors into major bones, middle bones, and minor bones, and visualize them to make it easier to grasp the overall picture. The cause-and-effect diagram is used for cause investigation, issue organization, information sharing, and more. The 5M1E of the major bone section refers to: 1. Machine (Technology) 2. Method (Process) 3. Material (Includes information on raw materials and consumables.) 4. Manpower (Physical labor) / Mind power (Brain function) 5. Measurement (Inspection) 6. Environment If this cause-and-effect diagram can be applied to various issues in production technology operations, it will contribute to improving operational efficiency.

Support for AI visual inspection process

We will provide support for the approach to AI visual inspection processes!

The disadvantages and advantages of AI visual inspection are as follows: 【Disadvantages of AI Visual Inspection】 1. Cannot make qualitative judgments 2. Cannot detect conditions outside of what it has been trained on 【Advantages of AI Visual Inspection】 1. Can detect foreign objects that may be overlooked by the human eye 2. Does not complicate the setting of inspection rules Although AI has its weaknesses, its greatest advantage is the ability to "correctly judge quantified criteria at a consistent speed." To effectively utilize this advantage and automate visual inspections, it is essential to meticulously quantify the qualitative judgments that have traditionally been made visually and to carefully adjust the judgment criteria during the training phase for the AI. This allows for automation while ensuring the quality demanded by the company. In summary, the disadvantages and advantages of AI visual inspection indicate that fine quantification of judgment criteria and meticulous threshold adjustments are indispensable. By implementing these, it is possible to significantly improve inspection challenges through the construction of custom-made AI.

Support for creating equipment safety specifications.

We will assist you in creating safety specifications for the equipment.

In companies where a Quality Management System (QMS) is established, there are safety specifications for equipment, and I believe there are no particular issues. However, considering a situation where such systems are not in place, I will provide references on what should be considered for safety. There are fundamental principles for ensuring the safety of machinery to effectively prevent mechanical hazards. These are the three principles: 1. Principle of inherent safety: Eliminate hazardous areas (hazard sources) of the machinery or reduce them to a level that does not cause harm to people. For example, rounding off corners or reducing operational energy. 2. Preventing human access or contact with hazardous sources of machinery. For example, installing guards such as fences or enclosures. 3. Principle of stopping: Generally, if the machinery is stopped, it poses no danger. Therefore, if a person needs to enter the operational range of the machinery, it should be stopped using interlocks or permission should be granted only after stopping. In creating safety specifications for equipment, it is necessary to adhere to the above three fundamental principles and to consider the specific content of the equipment in question, developing and documenting the specifications in a more concrete manner.

Support for creating equipment maintenance specifications.

We will assist you in creating equipment maintenance specifications!

Equipment maintenance involves the regular inspection and repair of various factory equipment that is operational in the factory. It is ideal for the equipment specifications to include the following three types of maintenance: 1. Preventive Maintenance: This requires establishing a maintenance plan to ensure that factory equipment and machinery do not break down, involving inspections, repairs, and parts replacements. The goal is to prevent equipment failures in advance through regular inspections and ensure stable operation. → One aspect is to clearly define the items that should undergo daily inspections. Additionally, it is important to list the parts that should be replaced regularly. 2. Corrective Maintenance: This refers to maintenance performed in response to issues such as functional decline, malfunctions, or breakdowns that occur in factory equipment. → This includes the development of manuals for troubleshooting, ease of conducting emergency maintenance work, and securing maintenance and workspaces. 3. Predictive Maintenance: In contrast to preventive maintenance, which involves regular inspections, predictive maintenance monitors the condition of factory equipment and machinery. It is conducted when signs of functional decline, breakdowns, or malfunctions are detected. → This involves clarifying methods for sensing precursors to equipment failures based on past failure histories and accumulated data from the specification creation company and equipment manufacturers, enabling predictive maintenance for the targeted equipment.

Support for procurement projects

We will assist in promoting the procurement project.

【Procurement Project】 ●Purpose As a production technology initiative, this is somewhat of a special undertaking, but it is generally understood that 20-40% of product costs come from purchased goods from suppliers. The "Procurement Project" was initiated to address the need to tackle these costs. The production technology team, as experts in manufacturing, will primarily focus on developing suppliers through factory inspections, especially for companies that have no prior purchasing experience. ●Project Promotion Unit The basic unit is by factory, but it may be implemented by product group or line group as needed. ●Duration, Frequency, Location - Duration: Typically around 3-5 years; the duration may vary depending on the situation. - Frequency: Generally once a month. - Location: At the relevant factory (also applicable at candidate supplier companies). ●Approach - Members, Promotion Leader: Production Technology (Minutes: Production Technology) MUST participate: Production Technology, Procurement (Purchasing), Production Management, Planning, Quality Assurance WANT to participate: Design, Inspection (Parts Inspection, Product Inspection), Production, etc. - Meeting Method: Real meetings at the relevant factory or at the investigation sites of new candidate suppliers (for on-site verification). - Meeting Themes: Progress confirmation of each department involved in procurement project activities, progress confirmation of homework to report various settlement issues (such as account opening), etc.

Support for the line transfer project.

I will assist with the promotion of the line transfer project.

【Line Transfer Project】 ●Purpose There is always a reorganization aimed at expanding the company's scale, and as part of this, there is the transfer of manufacturing lines. The activities promoting this transfer are carried out with the aim of leveling up both Q (Quality) and C (Cost) as an opportunity presented by the transfer itself. ●Project Promotion Unit The basic unit is by line, but it may be implemented by product groups or line groups as necessary. ●Duration and Frequency - Duration: Approximately two years before the line transfer to about one year after the line transfer. This assumes there is no new investment; if there is new investment, the duration will be extended accordingly. - Frequency: Basic is once a month. ●Approach - Members, Promotion Leader: Production Technology (Minutes: Production Technology) MUST participate: Production Technology, Production, Quality Assurance, Production Management, Maintenance, Inspection (Parts Inspection, Product Inspection) WANT to participate: Design, Planning, Others - Meeting Method: Real meetings at each location - Meeting Themes: Progress confirmation of each department related to the transfer (using the transfer checklist), progress confirmation of homework to solve issues for leveling up Q (Quality) and C (Cost) as an opportunity presented by the transfer, etc. Support and guidance regarding the nature and approach of the "Line Transfer Project" are the subjects of consulting.

Support for the store closure activity project

We will assist in promoting the store closing activities project.

【Store Closure Activity Project】 ●Purpose Products have a lifespan, and of course, the production lines that handle them will eventually become low-load lines and ultimately face the fate of being discarded. On the other hand, for factories, these low-load lines become a burden due to the need to free up space for new lines. In response to this, there is the "Store Closure Activity Project." Production technology can play a central role in this project, positioning it as the driving leader of the initiative. ●Project Promotion Unit The basic unit is the factory, but it may be implemented at the product group or line group level as needed. ●Duration, Frequency, Location - Duration: Typically around 2 years; the duration may vary depending on the flow years of the target line and the response years for bulk production, etc. - Frequency: Basic is once a month. - Location: The relevant factory. ●Approach - Members, Promotion Leader: Production Technology (Minutes: Production Technology) MUST participate: Production Technology, Production Management, Production, Quality Assurance WANT to participate: Maintenance, Inspection (Parts Inspection, Product Inspection), Planning, etc. - Meeting Method: Real meetings at the factory. - Meeting Themes: Progress confirmation of each department related to store closure activities, bulk production, equipment disposal, and various decision-making issues to be submitted as homework for progress confirmation, etc.

[Column] Reasons Why We Can't Hire Excellent Engineers Mid-Career

I will explain in a column the reasons why mid-career hiring is difficult and the solutions to address it!

According to a survey conducted by Mizuho Information & Research Institute, Inc. in 2019, there was a reported shortage of 220,000 engineers as of 2018. Furthermore, if productivity does not increase and demand continues to grow, it is predicted that there will be a shortage of over 780,000 personnel. The number of companies considering the shortage of engineers as a management issue is increasing, and it is not uncommon for them to struggle to hire talented engineers mid-career. This article will explain the reasons why it is difficult to hire talented engineers mid-career and the solutions to this issue. [Content Overview (Partial)] ■ Cases where engineers cannot be hired due to job postings - Lack of awareness regarding the low mobility of engineers - Difficulty in hiring based on future growth potential - Inability to post job openings focused on "desired talent" *For more detailed content of the column, please refer to the "Related Links" or "PDF Download." For further inquiries, feel free to contact us.

Construction of automatic assembly and production lines for heavy items and a variety of products | Support from upstream planning

Field surveys and process breakdown determine 70% of automation success! A line builder who sees it through to the end without giving up.

We solve the challenges of "time shortages" and "highly complex automation" faced by production engineers in the automotive, construction machinery, and machine tool industries through integration from the upstream process. Our automation line construction begins with on-site surveys to grasp the "truth of the field" that cannot be seen from drawings alone. We break down the specific warping and welding distortion of large and heavy workpieces, the reaction forces during fastening, and even the "tacit knowledge" that operators unconsciously perform, down to the second. We visualize the conditions for successful automation and develop a "Automation Line Concept Diagram (URS)" that eliminates the possibility of going back. We connect robots, image processing, control, material handling, and automated warehouses in a single line, managing everything centrally as project management (PM). From design, manufacturing, and construction to on-site supervision at overseas factories and fine-tuning after startup, we maintain a commitment to "see it through" without abandoning the project midway, ensuring stable operation of production equipment on-site. Through full turnkey (lump-sum contracting) support, we provide an environment where production engineers can focus on their core value-creating tasks.
