...which are 12 potential problem human factors areas. A series of posters have been produced, one for each of these headings, giving a few examples of good practices which ought to be adopted, or "safety nets". These are summarised as follows: 1. Lack of communication Use logbooks, worksheets, etc to communicate and remove doubt. Discuss work to be done or what has been completed. Never assume anything. 2. Complacency Train yourself to expect to find a fault. Never sign for anything you didn't do [or see done]. 3. Lack of knowledge Get training on type. Use up-to-date manuals. Ask a technical representative or someone who knows. 4. Distraction Always finish the job or unfasten the connection. Mark the uncompleted work. Lockwire where possible or use torqueseal. Double inspect by another or self. When you return to the job, always go back three steps. Use a detailed check sheet. 5. Lack of teamwork Discuss what, who and how a job is to be done. Be sure that everyone understands and agrees. 6. Fatigue Be aware of the symptoms and look for them in yourself and others. Plan to avoid complex tasks at the bottom of your circadian rhythm. Sleep and exercise regularly. Ask others to check your work. 7. Lack of parts Check suspect areas at the beginning of the inspection and AOG the required parts. Order and stock anticipated parts before they are required. Know all available parts sources and arrange for pooling or loaning. Maintain a standard and if in doubt...

...time to change the The Three E’s around and make education the most important. The Job of Fire Prevention The implementation of the fire bureau has led to better enforcement of life safety codes and inspections to help prevent fires from happening. There have been many instances in history that show how fire prevention could have saved lives. What has to be done to reinvent the idea of fire prevention? How many fire departments do fire prevention every day, my guess would be not many. Fire prevention should be taught every week not just during fire prevention week for the idea to help prevent fires from happening. The U.S. population has the mentality that fires only happen to others and not me and if it does I am insured attitude(Hensler, 2011). Some firefighters receive their training on fire prevention on the job, but does that mean they are being taught by someone who has had formal training or was that person taught on the job. The efforts to change the culture of the fire service from a suppression mindset to a safety mindset are causing some in the fire service to be considered a hieratic. We need to change the way we train by making Fire prevention a fundamental duty and the power to enforce the codes(Hensler, 2011). The responsibility to perform an inspection has to be approached...

...There are four main categories of MV applications in the industry: inspection, guidance, gauging and identification. Inspection Inspection is the process of comparing the individual manufactured items against some pre-established standard with a view to maintenance of quality. The process of inspection commonly take places in three definable stages: image acquisition, object location and object scrutiny and measurement (Davies, 2012). The inspection category is the broadest in machine vision applications. Machine vision can be used to correct the location, control the quality and check the completeness. A typical machine vision application is to inspect the surface of an object. It is essential to identify the defects like scratches, printed...

...bought the house from acquaintances, we did not find it necessary to hire a private inspector to do full inspection prior to the purchase. We bought the house in good faith and believed that the good price for it was due to the fact that the previous owner wanted to sell it immediately before going into foreclosure. Once the house was bought, we had to live the consequences of a house with a leak in the plumbing, a leak in the roof and an addition to it build with no permit at all. As a result, we were shouldered with the financial burden of filing a lawsuit to resolve the matter. Unfortunately, the court decided that we were not entitled to collect any damages because the house was purchased without a home inspection and also because there wasn’t an indemnity clause into the sales contract which stated that if there was a problem, it is the seller, rather than us, who suffers financially. Had we had an inspection report, we would have collected damages. Not only did we spend a fortune on the lawsuit, but we were also fined because we were the legal owners of a house with unpermitted work. Moreover, a private inspector was sent by the city to inspect the extension to the house which was built without regulations approval. We looked into getting building regulations approval and planning permission for the house, but it was determined that the structure might present a safety hazard and we were required to completely tear it down which was very costly. Currently, more and more...

...problems with production quality. Prevention costs are comprised of processes the organization can take to proactively avoid defects. For example, we should ensure our employees have the right tools for their jobs; they have safe working conditions; all new employees are properly trained, and existing employees are continually trained in their areas of responsibility. The Prevention costs will help the organization by providing our employees the tools, training, and procedures needed to reduce the amount of defective products coming off of our assembly lines. This is the most cost effective way to prevent defects, as it captures potential failures at the beginning of the products creation. Appraisal costs, which are sometimes called inspection costs, involve testing and inspecting materials used in the production process for defects, before they reach the customer. Appraisal costs are typically high, and do not guarantee...

This report defines the investigation done to find the problem by studying the supply chain starting with the production floor in the winding department and then going to the packaging department. In the winding department, no one knows what the problem is or how to correct it. In the packaging department, many windings are found to be defective and require reworking before they can be packaged. This is consuming a lot of time and rework. The report then gives the results found and the recommendations suggested for the problem. Problem analysis: Using some of the TQM tools, we will try to find the cause of the problem. 1.

...Training Needs Assessment Inspector General Team The Headquarters AMC Inspector General has a team of 83 inspectors who go from base to base performing inspections to give the AMC Commander an idea of each wings compliance and readiness. The team performs many types of inspections; however, the two largest inspections are the Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) and the Compliance Inspection (CI). During an ORI, airmen undergo evaluations that measure the ability of their unit to perform in wartime and during a contingency or a force sustainment mission while at any deployed location. During a CI the IG assess the wing's adherence with by-law requirements, Executive Orders, DOD Directives, and Air Force and MAJCOM instructions. The team is already fully operational however, because the majority of personnel only remain on the team for 2 to 3 years, keeping trained and certified inspectors is a priority. Recently, Headquarters Air Force has established new guidance requiring each MAJCOM IG to establish a training and certification program for all their inspectors. Identifying the needs of Headquarters AMC will consist of organization, person, and task analysis. The methods used to collect data will be focus groups, interviews, documentation, and observation. Because the team is already fully operational and budget cuts are affecting all government agencies, training needs should emphasize a concentration strategy focused on development of the existing workforce, skill,...

...Performance of the Sales Contract 1. No. The fact that the driver refused to let Sarah inspect the car before receiving a certified check for the balance due, and then unloaded the car and gave Sarah the title to the car after receiving the check, suggests that the parties agreed that Sarah was not entitled to inspect the car before payment against documents of title. 2. Assuming that Sarah was not entitled to the inspection of the car before payment and that she discovered the scratches and lack of basic features such as the CD player when receiving the car, she could have rejected the car without payment arguing that the non-conformity was obvious even without inspection. Now, if Sarah noticed the non-conformity when inspecting the car after the carrier left, she still could have demanded the dealer to provide a car meeting the contract terms arguing that the payment before inspection did not constitute acceptance of the car or deprived her from inspecting the car or pursuing remedies against the dealer. 3. The fact that Sarah discovered that the car had the tendency to stall and took it in numerous occasions to the dealer for repair, indicates that she decided to keep the car. Sarah still has the right to revoke her acceptance arguing that a car that stalls and have to be restarted in a traffic light has a serious problem and therefore represents a very low value. She also can argue that dealer has failed to fix the problem despite the numerous unsuccessful...
