Defect Tagging
100% Engagement in Loss Identification.
Equipment rarely breaks down without warning. Warning signs are typically present before a failure happens. Rattling loosened fasteners, grinding sounds, or a burnt smell from overheating could be an indicator that an equipment failure is imminent. Our Defect Tagging tool gives all employees the power to give a detailed notification of a mechanical or process problem. The tool is designed on the basis of TPM methodology and is complete with instant notifications, work flow management, and activity based metrics.
Root Cause Analysis (Sporadic Losses)
Investigation of Unique Daily Losses.
One of the most powerful methodologies to eliminate losses is the root cause analysis. However, many times practitioners attempting to apply this concept fail at reaching root cause solutions. Experts of RCA have learned that the only way to ensure the system works is to follow it rigorously and to validate every hypothesis. By design, Our Sporadic RCA tool makes it impossible to circumvent the methodology and provides a user interface that ensures rigorous execution. The tool is also equipped to capture the cost of the losses and solutions and measure the cost benefit ratio of each project.
Root Cause Analysis (Chronic Losses)
Deep Investigation of Reoccurring Losses.
In addition to all for the features and benefits of the Sporadic RCA tool, the Chronic RCA tool is designed for larger strategic level projects. This tool is also equipped with a team auditing or toll gate system that allows management to evaluate the teams progress and to give support so that all project objectives are achieved.
Single Minute Exchange of Dyes (SMED /Change Over)
Elimination of Losses From Non-Value-Added Change Over Activities.
In a high speed production environment, time is money. Though it may be necessary to stop the line for product or size changes, it is unacceptable to negatively impact delivery or line efficiency. Our SMED tool combines the concepts of internal and external activity classification with ECRS; enabling your team to systematically eliminate non-value added activities that increase your equipment down time.
FMEA - Failure Mode Effect Analysis
Eliminate Potential Losses By Design.
It's been said that hindsight is 20/20 and experience is the best teacher. Our FMEA tool allows your team to use the power of their experience to systematically identify root causes before they happen. The tool evaluates loss-based risks on the likelihood, detectability, and severity of the loss. It then graphically prioritizes these losses to make resource allocation decisions quick and easy.
