Improving Efficiency in the Process of Calibration of Measuring Instruments within the Company. A Case Study of Alliance Laundry (Thailand) Company Limited

Abstract

This research was conducted with the objectives of 1) to study the code checking process of measuring instrument data, 2) to study how to improve the efficiency of operational procedures, 3) to study how to increase the efficiency of the calibration process of measuring instrument data within the company. From the study of the process of checking the measuring tool data code, It was found that checking the instrument data was delayed and it took a lot of time to find the code of each instrument. Therefore, the problem analysis technique with the ECRS principle has been applied to help solve the problem and to prepare a user manual for measuring instrument data checking system. It was also found that checking the measurement data was delayed more than expected. Therefore, the principle of reducing wastage has been applied. To improve the workflow in the process of checking the measuring instrument data in line with the implementation of the measuring instrument data checking system. As a result of the improvement, it was found that the process of checking measuring instrument data was reduced from 7 steps to only 3 steps, the time spent on work was reduced from 3,375.63 seconds to 1,496.57 seconds, a decrease from the original 1,879.06 seconds or 55.66 percent.
