Process inspection issues

Our company is in the petrochemical industry, and implementing a inspection system has always been a challenge. We are considering using an intelligent electronic inspection system; if anyone is already using one, please share your experience!

Smart electronic inspection systems have both advantages and disadvantages. Since we already know the advantages, let’s talk about the disadvantages instead. A smart electronic inspection system is like installing cameras at the site, and no workers want to use such systems. As a result, the rate at which these devices get damaged is much higher than what one would expect; it’s better to use conventional inspection methods, by going to the site in person more often and imposing penalties on those who fail to carry out inspections. That would be better. We used it too, but gave up after not long.

We have been using it for three years, but once it is in use, there needs to be a dedicated person responsible for regular inspections, and a system of accountability should be in place for any missed spots – otherwise it won’t be effective

I use electronic inspections here; I tally the inspection results every day to check for any missed inspections. Additionally, I have camera surveillance here; videos from all devices can be viewed on the computer, including those from the main control room. At first, there was a lot of opposition, but it was implemented by force, and now people have gotten used to it. The main operator can see the status of the device from within the control room. On the contrary, surveillance is better.

For electronic inspection devices, if employees fail to conduct inspections as required, they will receive a warning on the first occasion and be penalized on the second. Adopt a approach of educating first and then punishing. In practical use, it is required to adopt a sampling inspection approach that combines regular and irregular checks; once issues are identified, actions should be taken in accordance with the established procedures.

Our factory is using this product right now, but it’s hard to say yet what the effects will be! :)

A inspection rod costs several thousand; wouldn’t it be better to give more salary?

1. The police team sets up 6 points inside the company (along the walls), and it is necessary to press the switches in hand at each of these points every 2 hours; working the night shift is very difficult. 2. 8–10 process inspection points are set up at various positions within the workshop, and these points must trigger a check every 2 hours. These electronic instruments are very easy to damage; sometimes they get damaged and everyone has to pay for it.

I think manual inspections are still better. I have camera surveillance here; videos of all the devices can be viewed on the computer, including those in the main control room.

We’ve been using it here for three years as well; although there are inspections and evaluations, the inspection rods get damaged very quickly, mainly due to human error, but there’s no evidence of it. The magnetic chips in the on-site cards are also often deliberately damaged.

The main aspects of process inspections are: 1. Improving the competence of operators, as inspections are also a way of being responsible for oneself. 2. Personnel management (monitoring of instruments) – improvement of systems – operators managing themselves in accordance with established rules; this is an overreaction. 3. In the end, it relies on corporate culture as well.

I think it’s better to use people for inspections; the electronic systems don’t provide such clear views. Alternatively, people can carry out inspections every hour, while electronic systems are used for inspections during the remaining time.

It’s better not to use electronic inspections; otherwise, the purpose of such inspections becomes merely to offer bribes

Electronic inspections still run counter to a people-oriented policy; what if only superficial checks are carried out without actual inspection? Why not use this money to benefit the workers and boost their motivation? I really appreciate what our factory manager is doing. This money is set aside as a safety fund for employee inspections; a reward of 50 yuan is given for minor near-misses, 100 yuan for significant near-misses, and extra generous rewards are offered by the company for extremely serious near-misses. For very minor incidents, a pen is given as a reward. During the day, the team leader reports to the workshop safety officer, while at night the team leader confirms and signs the report, which is then verified by the relevant personnel the following day. The highest monthly income in our team in this regard was 550 yuan (excluding salary and bonuses), and two people received Gionee phones. How about it? Awesome, right! :victory: :victory: :victory:

The information I provided is pretty good, right? If you think it’s useful, give me some points.

We have also used intelligent electronic inspection systems in the past, but gave up on them after a short time.

We are also using an electronic inspection system, but due to the high failure rate of the inspection devices themselves, coupled with the inadequate quality of the accompanying database software, the actual performance of this system is not satisfactory.

We all use on-site sign-in; a fee is deducted for each missed sign-in. In addition to employee sign-ins, there are also sign-in sheets for managers, allowing employees and managers to supervise each other!

We used electronic inspection devices before, but the results weren’t very good; now we’ve switched back to on-site sign-in

We encountered this problem at first as well; later on, we implemented a system where everyone is responsible for checking the items they take over. If I find any damage when I take over from you, I will report it immediately, and if it is confirmed to be intentional damage, then you will be held accountable!
