Reuse Practice: Whole Equipments Testing and Repair Project
Background:
Reverse team need dismantle whole equipments as offset and system requirement, only sub
items could be inbound to system. it will bring nearly 30% scrap in the dismantling process.
Whole testing Solution: scrap ratio decreased to 15%
(1) System optimize: System inbound by equipment level
(2) Operation level: No need dismantle whole equipments, and store by whole equipment level;
