As I embark on the fifth week of my On-the-Job Training (OJT), it’s impossible not to

acknowledge the profound transformation I’ve undergone during this learning journey. The first few

weeks laid the foundation, exposing me to the fundamentals and providing me with a glimpse of what

this field entails. As I recount the highlights of this past week, I aim to paint a vivid picture of my

evolving journey. It’s not just about accumulating knowledge; it’s about honing the skills and

cultivating the mindset required to excel in my chosen field.

For this week’s toolbox meeting, this week has been marked by the absence of any quality

issues or customer claims. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and diligence of the team

in upholding quality standards. It underscores the effectiveness of the quality control measures and the

commitment to delivering products that meet or exceed customer expectations. One notable aspect of

this week’s activities is the focus on Kataken models, a term derived from Japanese words “kanagata”

(meaning mold) and “kensa” (referring to inspection). These models encapsulate the essence of

molding and inspection, highlighting the meticulous and precision-driven nature of the processes

involved. Kataken models represent a convergence of expertise, blending the art of mold creation with

the science of inspection. This fusion ensures that the resulting products not only conform to

established standards but also reflect the utmost precision in design and dimensions. During
discussions this week, the rationale behind tightening product specifications was explored. This

adjustment serves a crucial purpose: to enhance product quality in terms of dimensions. It reflects a

proactive approach to quality assurance, aiming not just to meet but to surpass industry standards. By

tightening specifications, the organization reaffirms its commitment to dimensional excellence. This

not only aligns with the broader goal of delivering top-tier products but also resonates with the desire

to exceed customer expectations. It showcases a dedication to precision that goes beyond the ordinary,

setting a higher bar for quality.

For this week’s task, we conducted a takt time analysis within the Quality Assurance

Department, a takt time analysis was carried out for the Out-going Quality Control (OQC) process,

which is responsible for inspecting and ensuring the quality of products. Gladys and Abby actively took

part in the analysis and played key roles by performing assessments and contributing to the analysis

process. The primary purpose of the analysis was to determine the time required for the processes

within the Out-going Quality Control (OQC), specifically focusing on visual inspection.

• occurrence of delays and physical needs of the operator

• unnecessary movements (waste)

• how the product will be inspected by the operator

SUMMARY :

Efficiency primarily focuses on resource optimization, which includes time and effort while
effectiveness, on the other hand, relates to whether the process achieves its intended objectives or

goals.

1. Operator 1 may be more effective in ensuring high-quality products while;

2. Operator 2 may be more efficient in terms of speed.

The choice between effectiveness and efficiency should align with the organization’s quality

standards and customer expectations. It’s crucial to strike a balance between the two, prioritizing

quality while optimizing processes for efficiency wherever possible.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

 We will place the visual inspection area in proximity to the production line to minimize

the transportation time of products for inspection. This reduces handling and potential

damage because when the inspection area is near the production line, it minimizes the

time and effort required to transport products from manufacturing to inspection. This

efficiency is crucial, especially in industries where time-sensitive production schedules

must be maintained.

 Efficient workflow design is crucial for optimizing processes within a manufacturing or

quality assurance setting. An efficient workflow minimizes wasted time, materials, and

effort. It streamlines the sequence of task.

 Plan the layout to optimize the arrangement of workstations or inspection stations.

Consider a linear or U-shaped layout that minimizes unnecessary movements and

maximizes efficiency.
OBSERVATION IN INCOMING QUALITY CONTROL :

During our insightful visit to the Incoming Quality Control (IQC), one observation stood out

prominently – a notable discrepancy in the expiration dates. Specifically, we noticed that one of the

products being processed did not bear the correct expiration date as indicated on the raw materials

form. To add to this discrepancy, upon closer examination, we discovered that the expiration date on

the box housing the product did not align with the date recorded on the form. This discrepancy in

expiration dates raises important questions about quality assurance and adherence to established

processes. It underscores the critical importance of ensuring that raw materials, particularly those

with expiration dates, are meticulously tracked and matched to maintain product integrity and safety.

Another intriguing aspect of our observations revolved around the batch mixing practices

within the IQC. It was evident that raw materials were not being mixed immediately upon arrival.

Instead, there appeared to be a well-thought-out strategy where raw materials were amassed before

commencing the mixing process. This approach, while unconventional at first glance, can be seen as a

testament to the department’s efficiency and careful planning. By batching raw materials, the team

may be optimizing both time and resources. This practice warrants further exploration to understand

its advantages in terms of product consistency and workflow efficiency.

Observation in Warehouse Observation in Incoming Quality Control (IQC)

In wrapping up the fifth week of my On-the-Job Training (OJT), I am reminded of the

significance of this immersive learning experience. This week, like the ones before it, has been a

testament to the power of hands-on education and professional development. Throughout this week, I

continued to encounter challenges that tested my knowledge and problem-solving abilities. These

challenges, however, have been the catalysts for my growth. Each hurdle overcome, each task

completed, and every new skill acquired has contributed to my evolving competence in my chosen

field.

Looking ahead to the coming weeks, I am eager to build upon the foundation I’ve established

and continue my journey of exploration and discovery. I remain committed to making the most of this

invaluable OJT opportunity, knowing that each day brings fresh insights and opportunities for

improvement.
