Post-processing is a type of assembly processing that allows for fastening between different materials, such as metal parts, metal and resin parts, and resin parts themselves. Compared to methods like press-fitting or riveting, it offers advantages in this regard. In particular, anaerobic adhesives are widely used for their ability to bond at room temperature, aiming to improve airtightness and fastening strength. However, the fastening strength cannot be expected to be as strong as that of press-fitting or riveting, making it more of a redundant solution. As for the conditions to be set, considerations include the amount of adhesive applied, the application range (pressure, time, etc. in the application machine), and evaluation criteria such as adhesive strength, airtightness (if necessary), and appearance (application condition, overflow, adhesion to other parts), among others. Attention to the environment in which the adhesive is applied is also necessary during the work process. Support and guidance regarding process management aspects such as conditions and quality for this adhesive processing will be the focus of consulting.

Rolling clinching processing is a type of clinching process, also known as high-speed clinching, where a rotating clinching punch is used to create round clinches and fasten metal parts together. Compared to general clinching (which relies solely on press pressure), this method requires less pressure to induce plastic deformation at the clinching area, making it suitable for structures where deformation of the parts needs to be minimized. Processing conditions such as rotation speed, punch shape, processing pressure, processing time, and stopper height are set, and the evaluation of the results includes clinch height, clinch diameter, surrounding torque, and appearance (such as cracks in the clinch area). Support and guidance regarding condition setting and result evaluation for this rolling clinching processing are the subjects of consulting.

The winding process is a type of assembly process and is necessary for products that have a coil part (created by winding). Most of it involves winding copper wire with insulation around a component primarily made of resin called a bobbin, and ideally, conditions are set to achieve aligned winding using high-speed winding machines. (If complete aligned winding is achieved, the winding occupancy rate will be high, resulting in optimal miniaturization.) Conditions to be set include wire speed (bobbin rotation speed (× maximum winding outer diameter), etc.), winding tension, oscillation speed, oscillation width, etc., and the quality is managed by winding outer diameter, pinholes, etc. Additionally, in the winding process, the method of terminal processing is also important, and various methods are employed depending on the type of wire used and its characteristics. Support and guidance related to the selection of methods, condition management, and quality management in this winding process will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Soldering (here referring to hand soldering) is a type of assembly process that primarily uses a soldering iron to melt and fix solder material in order to ensure electrical continuity between components (such as parts called terminals and wires). The quality assurance of this process largely depends on the skill of the operator, but the basic processing conditions include the capacity, shape, and temperature of the soldering iron, soldering time, and timing of solder wire supply. Since it is a manual process, the operator must instantly determine the position for the soldering iron, the position for solder supply, and the timing while checking the flow of solder. For evaluating the results, the appearance of the solder joint (such as quantity, luster, gloss, fillet shape, and holes) is important, and quantitative evaluations include solder joint strength (typically based on base material fracture). Due to the high dependency on the operator's skill, it is often necessary to have an educational system such as a soldering certification program as a special process. Support and guidance related to the educational system, management system, and human error response for this soldering process are subjects of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Rivet processing is a type of assembly processing, similar to press fitting, where one component is deformed to integrate it with another component, primarily to fasten metal parts together. The difference from press fitting is that one component is plastically deformed by bending, crushing, or splitting to achieve close contact and fixation with the other component. In terms of processing conditions, the shape of the punch used for deformation is crucial, and, like press fitting, the pressing force and speed are also relevant. Additionally, to ensure the dimensions of the rivet are as desired, a stopper (jig stopper) is used during the process. In particular, for riveting, it is necessary to verify conditions such as rivet strength and rivet shape, and to establish optimal settings. The considerations for process design become the subject of consulting. (There are various types of riveting processes, including riveting (rolling) rivets, thermal riveting, and ultrasonic riveting, but this time only the most basic riveting is described.)

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

There are various types of layouts, but here we will focus specifically on the overall factory layout (excluding individual line layouts, office layouts, etc.). One aspect being considered is the optimization of logistics, ensuring a smooth flow from the delivery of materials and components to the shipment of products and parts. Another aspect is the proper arrangement of each component, intermediate product, finished product, and stagnant inventory to maintain appropriate stock levels. Additionally, the area efficiency of each section is confirmed and optimized. Other considerations include environmental concerns and the securing of necessary space. It is important to establish a comprehensive layout management system that allows top management to continuously monitor and manage these aspects, and the examination of these factors and the establishment of maintenance management methods will be the focus of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

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.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Ultrasonic welding is a type of assembly processing that involves welding and fixing resin parts together (in necessary areas). This method is primarily adopted for fixing resin parts and ensuring airtightness, and it is designed to apply a tool called a horn, which vibrates ultrasonically, to weld only the contact areas of the resins. The main processing conditions include the oscillation amplitude of the transducer (horn), the pressing force, and the pressing time. As for quality evaluation, it is necessary to confirm the welding strength and airtightness (welded state). Since ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted to various parts of the components, care must be taken to avoid unintended welding or cracks. The approach to setting conditions (selection of horn, amplitude, pressing force, pressing time, etc.), as well as the methods for evaluation and confirmation, are all subjects of consulting in the overall process design of ultrasonic welding.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Screw tightening processing is a type of assembly process that is frequently used in the final componentization of products, where screws are tightened to secure sub-assemblies or parts, thereby completing the product (and sometimes the sub-assembly). The processing conditions include screw tightening torque and screw tightening speed, while the evaluation criteria for the quality of the work include loosening torque, re-tightening torque, floating, and deformation of the screw parts. Additionally, when tightening screws in multiple locations, if simultaneous tightening (with multiple axes) is not possible, it is necessary to define the order of tightening. In any case, to ensure the quality of the screw tightening, it is also an important factor to securely hold the workpiece in place during the tightening process. Guidance and support regarding considerations for process design in the screw tightening process will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

We will introduce the Air Leak Check. It is a commonly used inspection method for checking the airtightness of products and parts, known as leak testing. This process aims to detect leaks, ranging from large to small, through simple and easy-to-understand methods such as immersion tests, which can confirm significant leaks, and helium (He) leak tests, which can detect minute leaks. Among these, the most widely used method on manufacturing lines is the Air Leak Check. The Air Leak Check primarily involves simultaneously pressurizing a leak-free master work and the workpiece being inspected, and detecting the differential pressure in the circuit from this equilibrium state (a differential pressure occurs if there is a leak in the workpiece) to confirm the presence of a leak. (The detection accuracy of the Air Leak Check is 10¹ to 10⁻² ml/min; a leak value of 10¹ ml/min corresponds to the detection of 20,000 bubbles (1 mm in diameter) per minute, while a leak value of 10⁻² ml/min corresponds to the detection of 20 bubbles (1 mm in diameter) per minute.) Education, guidance, and support regarding the introduction of this Air Leak Check, including the management methods for the master, are subjects of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Press-fitting processing is a type of assembly processing that primarily involves applying pressure to integrate metal components together. The press-fit parts are mostly circular (cylindrical) and are performed with a fitting allowance. Generally, the press-fitting is conducted under certain conditions of constant pressure and pressing speed, and to ensure the press-fit dimensions as a result, stoppers (work stoppers, external (fixture) stoppers) are provided. It is necessary to consider condition settings, defective product ejection mechanisms, and other factors such as variations in fitting allowances during the process design. The considerations for process design in such press-fitting processing become the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Not limited to the biotechnology industry, creating an appropriate business plan and executing operations can serve as a means to promote various business initiatives and achieve goals. Business plans can vary from annual plans to monthly, weekly, and daily plans; here, I will discuss monthly plans, which encompass weekly and daily plans, rather than long-term plans like annual plans. (Of course, monthly plans are closely related to annual plans in the sense that they are based on them.) The purpose of creating and operating a business plan is to maximize the efficiency of each responsible party's work and to use it as a tool for reporting, communication, and consultation, which also enhances the overall operational efficiency of the department. It is important to create frequent plans and record the status of implementation, as these records will serve as materials for considering the next actions. While it can be challenging until one gets used to it, once accustomed, it allows for an accurate assessment of business conditions that tend to fall into qualitative judgments. (Recently, these tasks have significantly advanced as they can be implemented using databases and other tools.) Guidance and support regarding the creation and operation of business plans related to production technology will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Not limited to the biotechnology business, there are many opportunities within the company to create presentation materials and explain them in various situations such as reporting, communication, consultation, and decision-making. The quality of the materials and explanations significantly impacts the progress of work. To avoid ineffective explanations that lead to repeated tasks, it is crucial to clarify the purpose and create presentation materials that allow the audience to fully understand and agree with the content within a limited time. This is a very important factor in facilitating smooth operations. Particularly in production technology operations, there are many opportunities to create presentation materials to gain understanding and agreement from top management regarding equipment investment and quality assurance responses, making this ability extremely important. Guidance and support for improving skills related to the creation of presentation materials (and how to explain them) related to production technology will be the focus of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

In the manufacturing industry, there are seven tools of QC (Quality Control) used for education and guidance. These tools are primarily utilized on the production floor to confirm quality and identify opportunities for quality improvement, and they are employed by analyzing numerical data such as statistical information. The seven tools are: 1. Pareto chart, 2. Histogram, 3. Control chart, 4. Scatter diagram, 5. Cause-and-effect diagram, 6. Check sheet, 7. Graph. We support the basic usage, application, and establishment of these tools.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

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.

A roadmap is a diagram that summarizes a company's plan for future product releases in chronological order. It is also used to outline the project's goals and the general plan leading up to them from a broad perspective. The roadmap in question particularly focuses on the trajectory of the processing technologies held by the company. Each company likely possesses its own unique processing technologies (such as specialized cutting techniques, specialized molding techniques, specialized pressing techniques, specialized die-casting techniques, various assembly processing techniques, or combinations of these technologies, etc.). Until now, these have been the "selling points" for each company, and the further development of these technologies should contribute to continuous sales in the future. Clarifying the direction of technological development and establishing a roadmap for processing technologies will serve as a guide for future efforts. Organizing the technological developments from the past to the present and exploring the technologies that should be implemented in the future (5 to 10 years ahead) is crucial for manufacturing companies. The support and guidance for the consideration of creating this roadmap for processing technologies, as well as the standardization of the creation procedures and rules, will be the focus of consulting services.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Traceability refers to a term currently used in various industries, indicating the ability to track the processing details and distribution routes of a product from its raw materials and components to its current state, or the system for tracking such information. The quality of traceability can sometimes determine the survival of a company (for example, significantly impacting the financial losses related to market complaints). In the manufacturing sector, traceability involves many departments, but the part that concerns production technology and factory managers, which is the focus of our consulting services, is to ensure that the processing details of products and parts can be traced in detail. To build excellent traceability, it is crucial to create a system that allows for quick and accurate tracing, narrowing down to the minimum necessary scope when the need arises. The introduction of traceability measures (including IoT) can dramatically improve the accuracy, reliability, and response speed of quality control for processed products, and it also holds potential for reducing quality costs. Guidance and support related to the adaptation of traceability measures in quality management will be the focus of our consulting services.

The FP (Poka-Yoke) that has been considered through activities such as PFMEA is particularly effective as a means of addressing human error. It is important to create a system that addresses issues such as wrong parts, missing parts, reverse assembly, and skipping processes without incurring costs. An excellent FP is one that does not affect the work hours, meaning it does not hinder the work process, and it is also important to establish a system for maintaining and managing it so that it does not become obsolete. As a practical implementation of the action items from PFMEA, it is the consulting objective to ensure that effective FP (Poka-Yoke) can be rooted in the field for use.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Generally, the advantages of one-piece flow compared to lot flow include the minimization of lead time, reduction of work-in-progress, prevention of large-scale defects, ease of line balancing, and potential improvements in productivity. Therefore, it is considered important to create standard work sheets, continuously consider improvements, and ensure efficient operations in the production site. As a production technology department, we believe it is crucial for process designers to incorporate these elements into the line configuration and equipment specifications during the design phase to create a well-structured line. The considerations for process design that take into account one-piece flow will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

I will comment on the nature of criteria samples (limit samples). Although we refer to them as limit samples, since they are subject to visual judgment, they do not represent strict limits. Generally, the contents that are referred to as good product samples and defective product samples also fall under the category of limit samples. Given the recent improvements in the precision of visual devices and the enhanced analysis and judgment capabilities of AI, it seems that reforms regarding the setting of limit samples are being undertaken. However, even when advancing these reforms, I believe that the experiential knowledge related to traditional limit sample settings will be very useful for the technical basis of the data and information used to establish AI judgment criteria. Support and guidance regarding the nature of limit samples (including good product samples and defective product samples), the approach to their setting, and the considerations for establishing new judgment criteria through AI will be the focus of production technology consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Generally, the method of progressing work with upstream and downstream departments working simultaneously and cooperating can be referred to as Concurrent Engineering. In other words, Concurrent Engineering refers to a technique that advances multiple processes in product development concurrently, aiming to shorten development time and reduce costs. Concurrent Engineering involves sharing information and collaborating between departments, allowing tasks to proceed in parallel without waiting for the completion of previous processes, and providing feedback from later processes to earlier ones. For example, this includes feeding back information from manufacturing to design to create structures that are easier to mass-produce. As mentioned above, the methods and concepts of Concurrent Engineering demonstrate their effectiveness in various aspects of production technology and factory management. Providing support and guidance on this approach and methodology falls under the scope of production technology consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Benchmarking refers to the activity where countries, companies, etc., continuously measure their products, services, processes, and practices, and compare and analyze their performance against that of superior competitors and other excellent companies. This benchmarking is effective as a strategy for new product development and technological innovation, and it can also be considered a very effective means for continuous improvement of production technology, cost reduction, and quality enhancement. (It has a meaning almost identical to Tear Down and is synonymous with reverse engineering mentioned earlier.) The support and guidance for examining the procedures and methods related to the significant improvement of one's own production technology, cost reduction, and quality enhancement through the utilization of this benchmarking will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

It is common for companies to transfer production lines and products due to various circumstances. The transfer of production lines has two aspects: one is the need to minimize changes due to the transfer, particularly from a quality perspective, to avoid any quality issues; the other is that for the production line, this is a valuable opportunity for change and a chance to significantly improve, so improvements in quality and cost should be pursued simultaneously. From the standpoint of production technology, it is essential to seize this opportunity and implement everything possible before and after the transfer, aiming for significant improvements in quality control as well. To achieve this, it is important to firmly grasp the changes in the 5Ms and 1E and take action based on that understanding, planning for quality improvements (with a comprehensive understanding of past quality issues) and cost improvements (planning for logistics reviews and labor hour adjustments through layout improvements). The direction, support, and guidance regarding this line transfer will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

A QC process chart is essentially a table that describes the management methods (condition management items, quality management items) for all manufacturing processes where products are processed (machined, inspected, etc.) in an orderly manner. The QC process chart (process management chart, process management details, etc.) that should be created by the production technology department should contain all the basic information that needs to be managed in the production process. It should not just be a list of management items, but should also include information regarding the tools (equipment, jigs, tools) used in processing, product, part, and auxiliary material information, points of caution during work, checks, inspection contents, and even details down to the fine points. This serves as the foundation for the work standard documents (work procedures) created and managed by on-site workers, and it is important to incorporate all the process design information intended by the production technology (process designer). (Depending on the company, there may be cases where the process management chart (process management details) and work standard documents (work procedures) are combined due to organizational and role divisions, but in any case, it is necessary to have a centralized collection of information in terms of content.) Guidance and support for the ideal form of such QC process charts will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

In the case of equipment FMEA, there are two meanings of FMEA. One is the FMEA for designing equipment (referred to as Design FMEA (DFMEA) in product design), and the other is the FMEA for equipment manufacturing (referred to as Process FMEA (PFMEA) in product manufacturing). The focus this time is on the latter, the FMEA in equipment manufacturing. The FMEA for equipment (FMEA for equipment manufacturing) requires a similar approach to the PFMEA for regular production products, as mentioned above. However, the criteria for evaluating impact, occurrence, and detection need to be set according to the actual conditions of each company. Additionally, to ensure that no failure modes are overlooked and to establish the settings, it should be conducted as a team effort. (In this case, the team refers to a cross-functional team, including the equipment design department, equipment manufacturing department, equipment inspection department, sales, etc.) Based on the above, supporting the FMEA for equipment and promoting its establishment will be the focus of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

The operational status of production lines and production equipment is a daily concern for manufacturing companies, and I believe that activities to maintain and improve their operational rates are always being carried out. Therefore, support and guidance related to the approach and execution of activities aimed at improving operational rates will be the subject of consulting. (For reference, there is a term called "availability" in relation to operational rates, so I will briefly explain the difference. Operational rate refers to the ratio of hours spent producing goods with the equipment during a standard day, while availability refers to the ratio of the equipment being in a state to operate normally when desired. The operational rate can vary depending on sales, meaning it does not always have to be 100%, and it can sometimes exceed 100%, whereas availability always aims for 100%. In any case, improvement activities to enhance equipment productivity are important, and here it is explained as activities to improve operational rates.)

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Among the new products, there are important and challenging new products that will become new businesses for the company, as well as similar new products that are extensions of existing ones. In either case, the role of production technology, which should collaborate with product design and development design, is crucial. Production technology is considered to be in a central position to control cost, quality, and delivery as the executing force for mass production flow of products. Once the procedures for handling the most important new products are mastered, for similar new products, it generally involves implementing part of those procedures. In responding to important new products, it begins with thorough participation in upstream activities through front-loading, and from an early stage, it is necessary to consider processing methods that affect cost and quality, investment equipment, and installation locations (layout, environment), while undergoing discussions related to investment and quality. The way to proceed with this work (implementation procedures, summarization, schedule management), how to solve issues, how to control related departments and stakeholders, and how to present will significantly influence the efficiency of the response. Support and guidance regarding this approach to handling new products (including new and similar ones) will be the subject of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

In improvement activities on the production line, there are often demands for reducing production costs, and I believe that activities to promote improvement goals as part of the annual policy are conducted regularly. One of the targets for improvement is the reduction of labor hours within production costs, which is directly linked to tangible effects. Smaller initiatives may include reducing work items, simplifying work procedures, and improving jigs, while larger initiatives could involve reducing personnel through the introduction of rationalization equipment that automates the work itself. However, to connect these efforts to substantial effects, it is necessary to consider possibilities, make prior adjustments, conduct internal discussions, and prepare accordingly. Support and guidance related to the advancement and execution of these labor hour reduction activities will be the focus of consulting.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

In the manufacturing industry, we provide support for the management and direction of idle equipment, idle lines, and idle molds that exist in any sector. Just as humans have a lifespan, so do lines (equipment). From the birth of a line, through initial flow activities, peak periods, stable periods, responses to production reductions, and minimal production responses, to the end of its life, which means smoothly entering the end-of-life phase of that line, is what we refer to as the "closing activities" of lines and equipment. Factories often perceive lines in the minimal production phase as lacking vitality and having a dark image (both spatially and in terms of area, they are seen as burdensome for the factory). Overcoming this image and positively moving forward to the next step is the main objective of closing activities. On the other hand, it can also be seen as an effort to efficiently retain assets (equipment, molds, jigs, etc.) and space (area) for the company to engage in new activities.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

One of the tasks in production technology is the consideration of automation. The opposite of automation is the term "manual operation," which refers to work done primarily by humans. Automation involves replacing human tasks (including those performed by robots) with machines that carry out all operations. If there is a completed line based on exemplary human work (that is, a line with a 100% good product rate), it becomes relatively easy to progress to the first stage by considering replacing each work element (such as work input, work posture changes, processing, checking, inspection, transfer, etc.) with machines. However, for processes that cannot be easily replaced (such as those relying on human intuition or visual judgment, or processes that originally have a high defect rate but are expected to stabilize through automation), thorough preliminary research, testing, and consideration are necessary. Additionally, it is important to consider the number of units and takt time for each work element to ensure efficient investment in automation. (Sometimes, significant changes to the method may be required for automation, which can lead to even more challenges to consider.)

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

Generally, activities aimed at achieving QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) targets for new products (including new and similar ones) involve "initial flow management." However, it seems that there are few examples where initial flow management is firmly established. Initial flow management involves all related departments (design, quality assurance, production management, production, and production technology, etc.), but here, as a response to the production activities of a manufacturing-based company, we will focus on supporting activities from the perspective of production technology.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

In the manufacturing industry, I believe that for each processing stage, management values for conditions and quality are set, and daily production activities are carried out with the goal of achieving 100% good products. However, due to various circumstances, unintended defective products can occur. These can arise from a lack of process capability relative to the standard values, or they may occur unexpectedly even when there is supposed to be sufficient process capability, among other reasons. Defective products not only incur costs as waste disposal but also affect costs when reworked into good products due to the labor involved in the rework. We will provide support to promote various initiatives aimed at resolving these issues.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

As a manufacturing industry, we regularly consider optimal methods for the purpose of product development discussions, new product responses, new construction methods, and improvements to current processes. The subjects of method consideration include various aspects such as parts processing, assembly methods, and inspection methods. We provide support regarding the thinking, approach, and summarization needed to identify the optimal methods.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

A company always has elements of activity and fluctuation, and the location (area) is an important asset for the company in everything it does. Smoothly managing that asset is a crucial task for the company. Particularly, being mindful of creating the area that will be needed in the future and controlling it is the essence of "area creation activities." We will provide support that includes specific methods and means to promote this activity.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

There are likely various processing steps at our manufacturing plant. For example, there are different types of assembly processing, cutting processing, molding processing, pressing processing, die casting processing, and so on, where each type of processing is carried out under certain predetermined conditions. However, it is questionable whether there are many processes that can clearly demonstrate that these processing conditions are indeed optimal and that proper records of the setting process are well maintained. We will provide support regarding the approach and methodology for setting processing conditions that can address the above concerns.

• Management consultant/Small business consultant

In the manufacturing industry, there are various countermeasures for quality issues such as internal defects, supplier defects, and external complaints. (See below) 1. Concurrent engineering involving related departments, including design quality (front-loading activities). 2. As it is said that quality is built into the process, ensuring process quality through improved precision in condition management and outcome management. 3. Regarding human error countermeasures, which are said to inevitably occur probabilistically, measures should be taken such as thorough PFMEA implementation, setting FP, and promoting manualization. Among these, PFMEA is a must-have requirement for the manufacturing industry, so I would like to support this content. PFMEA: Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
