One of press stamping parts basic
concepts is that quality should be ensured in the production
process itself. This concept, known as press stamping parts, means
not allowing problems to pass from one work station to the next.
It can refer to equipment automatically stopping under abnormal
conditions, such as when a machine breaks or problems arise. It is
also used when a team member encounters a problem in his or her
work station. Team members are responsible for correcting the
problem by pulling an ancon cord, which can stop the line.
The objective of press stamping parts can be summed up as:
Ensuring quality 100% of the time. Work efficiently. To the extent
possible, operations that are dangerous, require hard physical
labor or are monotonous and repetitive become automated. In
addition, team members routinely rotate jobs within their team.
Numerous internal and external training opportunities are also
available, including a joint program that allows full-time
employees to earn an Associates degree in two years
Full Utilization of press stamping parts abilities
A key factor in the production system is treating team members
with trust and respect. They are expected to help solve problems
and make decisions that affect them or their group. They are also
held accountable for their press stamping parts. |
