At BE Power Equipment, the roller ball transfer tables used for testing pressure washers rusted and corroded due to the humid environment in the test room. This led to reduced production efficiency and increased physical strain on operators moving heavy components.
I was assigned to replace the rusted ball bearings, aiming to improve part movement and ensure long-term durability in the humid environment.
I led the project to replace the rusted steel ball bearings with corrosion-resistant stainless-steel bearings. This involved sourcing, testing various samples to confirm their suitability for the humid test environment, and executing a full-scale implementation across the production line.
The replacement significantly enhanced production efficiency by reducing the strain on operators and improving the ease of part movement. Additionally, it eliminated long-term maintenance issues associated with rust and corrosion, reducing downtime and ongoing repair costs.
Fuel Circulation Vacuum Switch Issue:
In the test room, the fuel circulation system responsible for siphoning fuel back from engines after pressure washer testing was malfunctioning. The vacuum switch controlling the suction was inconsistent, often failing to stop immediately, causing unpredictable delays.
I was assigned to identify the root cause of the issue and restore the system to ensure reliable fuel suction.
After troubleshooting, you identified a faulty solenoid valve as the cause of the issue. I replaced it, tested the system, and confirmed that the vacuum suction responded immediately and consistently when the switch was turned off.
The replacement resolved the issue, restoring immediate fuel suction control and enhancing the reliability of the circulation system, minimizing downtime and operational disruptions.
Oil and Air Hose Routing Optimization:
The oil and air hoses in the pressure washer test area were poorly routed, causing inefficiencies and excessive wear.
I was responsible for optimizing the hose layout to enhance organization and reduce wear, in line with 5S principles.
I planned and streamlined the routing, selecting appropriate clamps and paths to create a leaner setup.
The optimized layout improved production efficiency, reduced hose wear, and contributed to a cleaner, more organized workspace
