The document outlines various aspects of engineering and manufacturing processes, focusing on key areas such as maintenance, process mapping, and performance metrics. It addresses the impact of preventive and predictive maintenance on part defects, downtime, and overall operational efficiency.
Once process steps are identified, what machines will help with each step -- specialized equipment? What are the machine specifications? (e.g. size, power rating, etc.)
mechanisms per step or task
constraints per step or task
outputs per step or task
inputs per step or task
Steps/task
Tasks that need to be done
Maintenance
will # of part defects be affected?
$/minute? Does the factory use a metric like this?
work/hr (i.e. if work is more organized will more work get done in less time?)
cost of labour [$/hr] (will this be affected if PM is done on weekends?)
more steady runtime? (duration of periods w/o downtime) [parts/hr]
preventive vs. predictive maintenance -- manual recommendations [tasks/day/wk/month/quarter/bi-annual/annual, etc.] vs. studied behaviour of the machine [cause and effect]
downtime cause and time [time of incident, duration of incident, machine failure issue, etc., date, hrs, cause codes, etc.]
manual forms vs. automated forms and ensuing potential analysis [#forms/day/wk/month/quarter/year]
Quoting and order processes
delivery time success [hrs, days from estimate]
turnover rate of quotes to JO
accuracy of quotes ($ quoted / $ spent)
# of redundant steps or tasks
time/task [hrs, minutes]
# of decisions being made
# of people involved
Who is doing what task (labour rate - $/hr)
How is the JO que managed? -- # of jobs waiting, # of jobs finished, time/job, setup time, etc.
# of quotes processed per day
# of tasks
Optimizing space
5S
transportation of parts?
orientation of parts
time associated with each?
personnel requirements?
crane
manual
forktruck
storage of parts
weight of parts [kg]
ease of reach [inches]
storage capacity
footprint
# of different types of parts
frequency of orders? [daily, weekly, monthly, etc.] and size of orders [$, kg, sqft, etc.]
size of parts (l x w x h) [inches]
# of parts needed vs # of parts "there" -- if there is no standard, inquire to establish a potential standard, then monitor it and adjust it accordingly
