Problem-Solving Materials: Productivity Improvement Edition 7 | Decrease in Productivity Due to Personalization of Processing Skills

Is there any issue with that task? What are the tasks that are prone to becoming dependent on individuals and what are the methods for improvement? A resource for identifying and solving challenges in the production site.

This document is a series that proposes solutions to various challenges faced in production sites, from identifying issues to finding resolutions. In the "Productivity Improvement Edition," we offer solutions aimed at enhancing productivity by streamlining various manufacturing processes and reducing man-hours and costs. [Document Overview] There are various factors contributing to the decline in productivity in the manufacturing industry, but one area that particularly requires effort to resolve is "task dependency." Among these, creating machining programs is a task that tends to become dependent on specific individuals, as it requires knowledge of machine specifications and processing. However, if tasks remain dependent on specific individuals, it can lead to a decline in productivity in various aspects. To improve this, it is necessary to "standardize tasks" so that all employees can achieve the same results regardless of who is working on them. In this document, we will introduce the challenges arising from task dependency and effective CAD/CAM systems for standardizing operations in sites that have implemented Mazak machines. *You can download the document using the button below.
