【HaiChuan Discussion】Do you think \"low-frequency task changes\" can be implemented?

I saw in the news that \"low-frequency task changes\" can help avoid high-intensity and high-risk tasks during holidays; I’m not sure which organizations have implemented this approach
This post was last edited by ylb913 on 2017-2-8 20:26. Isn’t that one department having achieved its goal? It is standard practice to address potential issues in advance of the holiday, and to make as few major adjustments to production as possible during the holiday period. This is because fewer people work during holidays (this mainly applies to the regular working hours; it’s the case at the factory level, department level, and in the workshops as well). Moreover, many people go to visit relatives and friends or drink alcohol, and there are also many who return to their hometowns. The workshop leaders, department heads, and factory managers also want to have a good New Year. However, the probability of needing emergency equipment repairs should not be much lower than usual.
We basically don’t issue high-risk work permits during holidays
This is still necessary; at times when negligence is likely, avoiding high-risk operations can prevent safety accidents!
Important time periods deserve attention; indeed, they should. If the routine basic tasks can be carried out properly—by maintaining the equipment well, managing processes effectively, adhering to operational standards, keeping the environment organized, eliminating or controlling potential hazards in a timely manner, and ensuring that emergency supplies and measures are available and effective—then the frequency of abnormal situations can be reduced.
The first two items are easy to control, but production abnormalities are more difficult to manage； Safety during holidays has always been a key focus of our work, and it is likely that different companies adopt various strategies to address this issue. The main strategies adopted by our company are as follows: 1. While ensuring that sales targets are met, we strive to reduce the production workload as much as possible ； 2. Conduct routine inspections and maintenance on important and critical equipment before the holiday. 3. Make arrangements in advance for staff to take leave during the holidays ； 4. Arrange relevant personnel to be on duty during holidays to handle any abnormalities promptly.
Any work or change is easy to handle as long as there is a plan; what’s problematic are the unplanned tasks or changes. It is okay to reduce planned work during holidays, but there should also be contingency plans for unexpected situations.
It’s complete nonsense; the device has safety hazards, and maintenance is only carried out during holidays. Aren’t they afraid that this could lead to a major accident?
