In the equipment manufacturing field, "oversights" during the inspection process can lead to quality defects and customer complaints, posing a risk to the company's reliability. This is particularly true for complex devices or products that involve multiple processes, where the large number of inspection items and the lack of experience among workers can contribute to oversights. The main causes of inspection omissions are as follows: ● Complexity of inspection items: There are many checkpoints, and workers cannot grasp all of them. ● Inadequate manuals: Inspection procedures are unclear, leading workers to proceed based on their own judgment. ● Insufficient training: New or less experienced workers do not understand important inspection points. ● Lack of habitual confirmation work: The formalization of checklists and the omission of confirmation tasks have become commonplace. To prevent inspection omissions, it is essential to clarify the oversight points in each process and ensure thorough training. By utilizing checklists and video materials for each process, we can enhance workers' awareness and skills, achieving zero inspection omissions. LinkStudio produces educational materials and video content specifically tailored for the equipment manufacturing field. If you have any inquiries regarding the review of educational content or the organization of teaching materials, please feel free to contact us.

In the casting site, the removal of slag (impurities) is a crucial process that affects product quality. However, there have been reports of increased defect rates due to new workers not fully understanding the importance of this process and cutting corners. Such situations can lead to problems such as a decline in product quality, an increase in rework, and delays in delivery, which negatively impact the overall productivity of the company. The main reasons why new workers underestimate slag cleaning are as follows: ● Lack of understanding of the importance of the process: They do not recognize the impact of slag cleaning on product quality. ● Ambiguity in work procedures: Specific cleaning procedures and standards are not clearly defined. ● Issues with the education method: Instruction is mainly based on experience, without conveying the theoretical background or specific impacts. Slag cleaning is essential for ensuring quality in the casting process. Through appropriate education and training, we can enhance workers' awareness and skills, leading to improved product quality and productivity. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

In the casting site, there are instances where accidents occur during the process of removing castings, where new workers feel that "they didn't think it was hot." The following factors are considered to be behind such accidents: ● Immaturity in temperature perception: New workers lack the experience to accurately judge the temperature of the castings. ● Insufficient safety education: Education regarding temperature management and safety measures has not been adequately provided. ● Lack of understanding of work procedures: They do not understand the importance of appropriate removal timing and cooling time. Due to these factors, there is a possibility of accidents such as burns and scalds, which threaten the safety of workers. The main causes of "I didn't think it was hot" accidents are as follows: ● Omission of temperature measurement: Workers neglect to measure the temperature and do not accurately grasp the temperature of the castings. ● Improper use of safety equipment: The use of heat-resistant gloves and protective gear is insufficient. ● Issues with the work environment: Inadequate lighting and signage in the workplace make it difficult to visually assess the temperature of the castings. These causes increase the risk of accidents occurring, as workers are unable to accurately judge the temperature of the castings. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

Despite putting a lot of effort into creating training materials, they are not being read. For such concerns, we recommend turning them into videos with animation and narration. By simply switching from "reading" to "watching," the retention rate will significantly improve.

• Distance learning/E-learning

In manufacturing processes that require fine adjustments, guidance based on the "intuition" of skilled workers is often provided. However, such educational methods can easily lead to individual differences, which may result in variations in quality and a decrease in reproducibility. The main factors contributing to education relying on intuition are as follows: ● Inadequate manuals: There are no manuals that detail specific procedures or numerical values. ● Tacit knowledge of skilled workers: Skilled workers find it difficult to articulate their own experiences and intuitions, making clear guidance challenging. ● Constraints on training time: There is insufficient time allocated for training newcomers, forcing reliance on intuitive guidance. In adjustment processes that require fine-tuning, it is possible to move away from education based on intuition and utilize standardized procedures and specific educational tools to prevent variations in quality and improve product stability. LinkStudio produces educational materials and video content specialized for adjustment processes.

In the filling line, liquid leakage causes various problems such as a decline in product quality, damage to equipment, and deterioration of the working environment. Especially when new operators do not understand the causes and countermeasures for liquid leakage, the likelihood of frequent troubles increases. The main causes of liquid leakage are as follows: ● Deterioration or damage of packing: Packing that has been used for a long time hardens or deforms, reducing its sealing ability. ● Uneven tightening force: If the bolts are not tightened evenly, the packing may shift to one side. ● Contamination by foreign substances: Foreign substances entering the packing installation area prevent proper adhesion. ● Liquid dripping from the nozzle: If liquid drips from the tip of the filling nozzle, it can be addressed by installing a stop valve at the nozzle tip. Liquid leakage in the filling line has a significant impact on product quality and production efficiency. Through appropriate education and training, we can enhance the understanding and awareness of operators, thereby preventing troubles and improving quality. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
