Today I am going to write about something I have been thinking about lately.

Difficulty in creating an original machine
Suddenly,A machine can only be good if everyone takes it seriously.I think.
I can't get this out of my head for the longest time.
The original machine here is a newly developed machine. It is not a similar or repeat machine.Before,Difficulty in making machines for a wide variety of products in small quantitiesやDifficulty of automationI have written an article about theI think the quality of a machine depends on how much the people who handle it are involved in its development, even if the people who make it have worked hard on it.
This is because problems that occur after the machine is delivered are usually caused by the people who handle the machine and the production engineers, etc.
- What I wanted you to tell me from the beginning
- I wanted to make sure that I had checked the approval chart and approved what I wanted.
There are a lot of problems that come from
Sorry for being so clear. I understand how they feel too. It's fine to ask your boss, but if the answer is unclear, you have to make the decision yourself. There are times when you can't or don't want to take responsibility.
Especially with machines that we are trying for the first time, things often don't go right the first time, but those problems are discovered after they take shape, so if we want to solve those problems, we have to remove them during the incubation period of the problem........ I feel that this is a challenge.
The issue is.If the deadline is given priority only in situations that are likely to occur, we on the production side are left to proceed in an ambiguous manner.
This is unavoidable because the customer's request is the highest priority.
There is a lot of tedious work involved in eliminating problems before they occur. There are many things to look at when we say "looking at assembly drawings," such as checking the numerical values to see how much they differ from the existing equipment, and when we say "inspecting parts drawings," gathering peripheral information, marking dimensions one by one, and so on.Also,It is also an issue that it is meaningless to conduct a design review while looking at 3D data if the person who understands the data does not properly see the essential points.
It is easier to let someone else do it, and if something goes wrong, you can just put the blame on that person. I have recently noticed a tendency to think that if I just say something, they will do it....
So, there you go.A production engineer who can pack it in tight would be greatly appreciated.I know, right?
If the problem is caused by a slight lack of information exchange, you will get used to it as we continue our business relationship, and you will be able to deal with it as you become familiar with the points to be suppressed. So, it is a matter of how much you can squeeze out of the hardest part....
Only in this day and age, when the machines used to make them are becoming more and more difficult, failure is unacceptable.
It is not a time when you can sell more and more products if you make more and more, and on top of that, you have to make machines that you can't afford. There are many advertisements on the Internet promoting new equipment and giving the impression as if it will solve all our problems.
But in fact, they are not.
I would be told to quit designing machines if I had to complain about various things, but I would like to see a vibrant manufacturing scene, or the will to make a difficult machine even if it is muddy, or the desire to make a difficult machine even if it fails! I wonder if the time will ever come when everyone will be united around a single machine....
That's it.
