Romer case study
Detail washing with a hand wash without aggressive chemicals
Assumptions:
-
A small number of details requiring daily washing (15-20 pieces per day).
-
It is not possible to delegate an employee solely for cleaning.
-
Mobility and flexibility in workplace organisation required.
-
The need for an easy-to-use solution.
Estimated effectiveness:
15-20 details per day.
Several seconds per piece.
<30 minutes.
Marginal, does not affect other duties.
Proposed solution:
A company producing small metal parts needed a simple way to effectively remove oil and swarf from a small number of parts - around 15-20 pieces per day. Instead of investing in elaborate systems, they relied on a hand-held pressure washer.
Thanks to its compact design and easy operation, the cleaning process could be carried out directly in the work area. The whole process took less than 30 minutes a day, allowing any employee to perform this task without overly disrupting other duties.
Efficiency was ensured by a pressurised water jet and a mild degreasing detergent, sufficient to remove typical operating dirt. The simple choice proved to be the right one - no unnecessary costs, no wasted time, no compromise in quality.
