Due to time constraints, on-site observation requires more attention from relevant personnel to quickly evaluate and judge the site in a short period of time. Then, let's learn how to select suitable crystal fiber manufacturers together!

Importance of Field Observation

Field observation is the basis for continuous improvement.

As customers, we are going to the mainCrystal fiber manufacturersThe factory site, understand its cost structure, production efficiency, quality control. As a crystal fiber manufacturer, we have to go to the business site of important customers to understand their production processes and product services, and better provide customers with sales and after-sales services. As a peer, if you have the opportunity to visit other factories, it is a very good opportunity to learn, compare and refer.

Enterprise operation is a large system, all links are closely related to each other. For production-oriented enterprises, you can see through any details of the scene. No matter how big the problem is, you can find the root cause from the scene. Even if you enjoy the flowers in a limited time, as long as you grasp the key points, you can fully grasp the important information of the factory operation. The following combines the macro system and management details. Discuss how to conduct on-site observation.

The atmosphere of the scene

At the scene, you can first intuitively see the mental outlook of the real employees, whether it is orderly and high morale, or messy, mechanical, and indifferent, forming a sharp contrast. Speaking a few words with the workers at the scene can also get important impressions from the workers' expressions and body language. Because these directly reflect the feelings of workers and the satisfaction of the factory. Among the factories I visited, there were also factories that played happy music. Throughout the past, the workers had a high enthusiasm for labor. In this relaxed and pleasant environment, they worked more efficiently and had more confidence in product quality.

Walking in the factory, you can pay attention to observe whether the machine is busy. For example, during automatic processing, when workers are doing nothing for a long time, or when workers in a certain station are waiting for materials for a long time. This phenomenon shows that the factory is lean. Insufficient management, low utilization rate of personnel, and idle employees will also affect the working atmosphere of others, resulting in low overall work efficiency and high cost.

Attention should be paid to whether the light in the workplace is sufficient, whether the air flow is smooth, whether there is any peculiar smell on the site, whether the noise is too large, and whether the workplace is clean. Because these will also directly affect the mood of workers, and then affect the production efficiency and product quality. It's hard to imagine lazy, depressed, indifferent, employees and disgruntled, idle factories making products that generate profits.

Use and layout of space

Many factories in China are very happy with the current situation. The bigger the production site, the better. As a result, the utilization rate is low, and the equipment and process configuration are often scattered. In addition to wasting space, raw materials are also carried out a lot of wasteful handling in factories, but many factories in developed countries look less spectacular and somewhat narrow, but they have high space utilization and high flow efficiency. The means of transport take up space, which is not only costly to operate, but also encourages the transfer of unnecessary materials. I saw a lot of electric forklifts and manual forklifts busy coming and going in a customer's factory, and there was a lot of futile handling. For example, after the same batch of parts are moved from area a to area B for processing, they return to area a for rear processing, then move to area c for processing, and return to area B, resulting in great waste of transportation.

In principle, the production materials used on the same day must be kept along the production line. One part is called online warehouse and the other part is called online warehouse. Instead of storing them separately in several inventory areas, tools and tooling should be kept as close to the machine as possible. Factory layout to ensure smooth flow of products, try to avoid any partition. Seeing that a factory has a long handling distance, repeated handling routes and many handling times, it shows that the layout is unreasonable, the space is not fully utilized, and the production lines are not piled up as much as possible.

Field Standardization

Standards are the state and unified implementation of the reference, there is no standard can not be implemented, there is no improvement of the focus. The production site has operation and quality standards, 5S and safety standards, operation and maintenance standards, process and rework standards, safety stock standards, etc. Many factory sites have SOP (standardized operation process). Observe whether these standards are missing, easy to implement, whether there are breakpoints in the middle to check whether what is written, said and done are consistent, and whether the quality control points are emphasized with obvious signs or colors.

Quality Management

　　Crystal fiber manufacturersIn the on-site observation, the focus should be on the treatment of defective products in the factory. A good factory does not cover up defective products and waste products, but exposes problems. For example, illuminating waste with light or highlighting it with a red label can tell immediately if waste is increasing or if a certain part of the production process is producing a defective product.
