ABSTRACT

The parameter level is the last segment of the Success Every Time (SET) method: identifying devices that can confirm that the value-added action on the part is operating in the ideal window for the situation. SET is looking to confirm that the proper energy to complete the value-add was present and induced on the individual part that is headed for watch battery replacement operator customer. In looking at the parameter level, the pyramid concept at the individual part level works extremely well with some minor modifications. SET extends to many departments and staffs. Ideal methods or devices may be built into the equipment from the original manufacturers, which involves purchasing. When the SET summary form is complete for an entire production line, with details at each individual operation, management can concentrate its energy on the jobs with the least support. The completed form will also stimulate engineers to balance their efforts in a strategic and cost-effective manner.
