I. Introduction
In thisdescription,Iexplainedthe bustubcurve.
And,before thisperiodwhichis"WearFailure Period"comes,we mustmake effortstoextendthe
"Accidental FailurePeriod"inwhichoperationisstablebyexchangingthe expendable partsand
maintenance.
In somewhereIhave writtenthata machine doesn'ttake age eventhoughtobe usedverylong
years.Thisis one part of dialogue withmyoldToyotafriend.Whya machine doesn'ttake age?
Because itis possible toexchangethe partwhere tobe damagedor worn.Andin the combinationof
maintenance andKaizen,itispossible touse the machine inverylong"AccidentalFailurePeriod".
I alsoexplainedthe conceptof tribology.
I wrote before thatitis saidthat 60% occurrence of failuresinmovingpartsof machine are causedof
the problemsof lubricants,includinglubricantsupply.
Andwhenlookingthe machine failure inoverall machine,more than25% numberoccurred,more
than 27% of machine stopandmore than30% of lossamountare causedof lubricanttroubles.
Yes,lubricantcontrol isveryimportantandessential factorforTPM. However,itistrue that the
systematicoilingisdisregarded.
Whenvisitingandlookingatthe maintenance of machines,Ialwayscanfindthe lackof lubricant
control conditionwhichare 5Ss of Oil storage,lackof oilingstandard(notcorrectand/orhackneyed),
no keepingthe standard(eventhoughthe standardismade).
5Ss and maintenance room.
In thisdescription,Ididn'twrite aboutthistheme.BecauseinsomewhereImighthave writtenit.
But once again I askyou to implement5Ssina maintenance roomwhichisthe strongholdof
maintenance activity.
I introduce one episode.
WhenI made a conference inacompany,Iwas requiredtomake a suggestionaboutKaizen.Their
problemistopromote KaizeninGemba.Andone of questionwashow to systemizeKaizenactivity.
ThenI taught 2 thingsand one isdata gatheringsystemandanotherone issuggestionscheme.
One yearlateronce againI had an opportunitytovisitthiscompany.AndIcouldlookat the situation
of Kaizenimplementation. However,itwasa miserable state.Ifoundthata suggestionbox became
the nestof cockroach andthere were the discolouredpapersinit.
Accordingto the managers,Kaizensuggestionsdon'tcome outasexpectedandthe voice of Gemba
was thattheycannot come up withKaizenidea.Bythe waythiscompanywas inthe middle of TPM
campaign.(Itherefore wasinvitedbythiscompany.) Thenwhenmakingfactory tour,we stoppedat
the maintenance room.Itwasa chaoticarea. It wasanywaychaotic.Nude posters,toolsscattered,
unreadable oil cansandoil servers,abottle of Coca-Colaโ€ฆAndparticularlyitwasdirty.Is
maintenance roomadirtyplace in the first place?Theirexcuse wasthe use of oil andscatteringchips

and I lostword.Of course,I deniedtheirexcuse.Dirtymaintenance roomcannotmake reasonable
maintenance inproductionGembaandalsoveryunreliable.
Unreadable oil cansand oil servers,how cantheysupplycorrectoil incorrect position?And,thenI
suggestedthe managerstocreate 10 thousandKaizensuggestionsinthismaintenance roominto
implement5Ss.
10 thousandKaizenideas!?โ€ฆThe managerswere surprised.Andtheysaidthatitis impossible in
unison.ButI toldthemas next:
โ€• InKaizen(Kaizenideas) there are 3ranks.
๏‚ท Excellent(effecttothe Gemba);Bettereffecttobe expected;
๏‚ท Good (effecttoGemba);Also,bettereffecttobe expected;
And,
๏‚ท The effecttobe betterthannothing.
โ€• Whenyouimagine Kaizen,youalwaysexpectorimagine "ExcellentorGood".But it iswrong.
Ratherthan the expectationof these,youshouldencourage the ideasof "Betterthannothing".
โ€• 10 thousandideasinmaintenance room, itiseasy.
โ€• Remove "Nude poster"withthe title of "Betterworkingenvironment".Then,itisone Kaizen
suggestion.
โ€• Decidingthe locationandcorrectputtingmethodforone tool.Thisisone Kaizensuggestion.
Decidingthe locationof ash tray and regulationof ashKatazuke.Thisisone of Kaizenidea.Putting
Kanbanboard of ash tray regulationalsoadditional Kaizenidea.
โ€• Inthismaintenance room,there are manytools,oils,lubricants,machines,โ€ฆAndif yousuggest
ideasforone by one,itis easyto create 10thousandsideas.
Anyway, itisgoodchance to implement5SsandKaizensuggestionsasa maintenance teaminTPM

II. COVID-19
Before goingtothe theme,Iwould write aboutsome miscellaneousthoughts.Butdroppinginthe
way.Therefore,nonecessarytoread,if youdonโ€™twant.
In previousdescription,Ihave writtenthe JapaneseEraName. Thus,now the era name is "REWA".
As I wrote before,since the Meijiera,the systemwaschangedtoone regionof Emperorand one era
name.But before Meiji,eraname waschangedmore thanonce in same Emperorwhenoccurring
disastersandepidemicsforplayingpeople'swell-beingandpeace.
Unfortunately,fromthe beginningof thisnew eraname,Japanwas attackedanddamagedby big
disastersandcurrentlyisbeenattackingthe epidemicof COVID.
Thisepidemicisveryseriousandmore seriousthanrecentothersinclude the economical epidemic
of Financial Crisisof Lehman.
At the Lehman's,the worldfinancial systemwasdamagedandexpandedthe influencetoGemba.
But thisCOVIDdirectlyattacked Gemba.Andall of Gembas,manufacturingsector,service sector,
tourismsector,andall of office Gembaswere attacked.Andthisdisasterinfluence wouldbe
continuinglongterm(more than3 yearsin a passage).
Afterthisdisaster(no,duringthisdisaster),somethingof social systemwouldbe changedinthe
worlddramatically. Whenlookingatthe world history,suchdisasterbecame the triggerof social
change.
For instance,andaccordingto a historybook,there wasa miserable disasterat14th
century,in
Europa.Yes, itis plague (BlackDeath). Andthisepidemicof plague killedmore than25millionpeople
inEuropa. And,afterthisdisaster,the Reformationwashappened.Also,The Renaissancewhich
ignitedpeople's"innerconsciousness"withculture andartraised.
Thisis relatedtothe fact that the nation,religion,andculture atthe time could not cope withmass
deaths,andprovesthat the unprecedenteddisastercausedsocial change.Inthisbookthere wasa
wordwhichis "mementomori1
โ€.
At that time (14th
centuryinEuropa),people feltadeathclosely,because citiesoverflowedwith
corpses. And, thisโ€œmementomoriโ€became atriggerof social change.
Nowagainthisword wasclose by the personswhoare oldpersonsand/orthe personswhohave
underlyingmedical problemseventhoughpeopledonโ€™tknow thisword.
It mightneverreachthe deathtoll to be same level asthe plague of 14 centuryinEuropa. But we
feel deathcloselybecause of dailynewswithinternet.
We sawthe scenesof Wuhan hospital,Italy,UK.Also,we saw the scene of refrigeratortrucksof
corpsesinNewYork,vast burial groundinBrazil. Andbecause of the improvementof Internet,we
are incircumstancesof lookingandfeelingdeathinevitably.Thisimpactmightbe same tothe
epidemicof BlackDeath.
1 Memento mori. Memento Mori is a Latin phrasethat means "don't forget to die(someday)" or "don't forget
death". Widely used as a motif in art works. Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori

Many times,Iwrote that ina decade workingcircumstanceswouldchange dramatically.However,it
mightbe true that thisCOVIDhasthe powerof acceleratingthe changingsociety.
A.Acceleration of Telework
Unfortunately,the trendof telework orremote workof Office-Gembamightaccelerate.
There are goodpointsandbad points.
For instance,howaboutOnline learning?โ€ฆOnlinelearningalsowillhave the citizenshipinthe world.
However, thismethodalsohasbothsides.
I thinkOnline learningisnotasuitable educationforchildren,eventhoughitisnecessaryasan
emergencycountermeasure.Because the teachingwiththroughinternetisbiasedtoteachjust
knowledge (Leftware2
inbrain). Butthisisbecause the awarenessandlearningthatarisesfromthe
existence of aplace calledschool shouldalsobe important.Learningaboutplantsandinsectsonthe
screenof a computerdoesnotgive childrenanideaof nature.Justas itis necessarytoputchildren
ina natural place to knownature,the place of school cannot be replacedonline.Anditisnot
possible tobringupthe rich sensitivityandemotion(Rightware).
Production-Gembaand Office-Gemba.
We notice thatsome jobsare suitable forteleworkandsome are not.Of course,teleworkingcannot
be appliedtomanufacturingsites,face-to-face service industries,andtransportation-relatedwork.
The same goesforpublicservicessuchaspolice office,firedepartmentsandessentialworking
Gembasuch hospitals,nursing,childcare etc.
On the otherhand,evenwithinthe company,teleworkislikelytobe establishedinajob system
whichemployeescantake onthe task as a contract business.Fromnow on,the style of workthat
shouldbe calledaโ€œcraftsmanโ€ that surelyrealizeshis/hercontractedworkmaybe increase rapidly.
Again,businessform&type will change veryrapidly,because of the improvementof ICTandthe
acceleratedwithsuchpandemic.
Teleworkmaybe a goodtrend.But I like the formof small grouptelework(satelliteofficework)
rather thansingle home telework.

How can we cope within suchhecticcircumstances? โ€ฆInsuch an era,we have no choice but to
jointlycreate andaccumulate whatwe can trust andbelieve,andwhatwe reallywanttoprotect.
Insteadof protectingthe traditional corporate form, we willcreate aformof laborthat can be
serious.One of importantformisto coexistwithnature,societyandpeople.We have tointeract
withpeople tocreate a newcommonworld.Of course,how to maintaincontactwithpeople mustbe
carefullyconsidered.Butourspiritcan't be shutup.Rather thanshuttingdown inan attemptto
protectthe existingsociety,we stepforwardtointroduce anew society.
What isneedednowis the above kindof spirit.
B. Troubles & problems
How we can promote Kaizen?โ€ฆNewideaof Kaizenis the implementationof awarenesswhichisable
to be perceivedin Rightware.Anditisnot possible tobringupthe sensitivityinnovisiting Gemba.
Andit isthe meaningof deteriorationof Kaizenmind.Meetinginteleworkandisolatedwork
become popular.But(forinstance) ameetingrequirestocreate a variousopinion.Thentelework
meetingisrequiredthe methodstocomplementthisdeficiency.The opportunityof makingidle talk
will decrease.Of course,PChasthe functionof Chat.But itis requiredtomake face-to-facechat.Idle
talkis one of vitaminforjob.
I have writteninFactoryManagement-1aboutthe importance of using Rightware forthe job.
Nowteleworkisone of bigtrend.Anditpromotesthe jobstyle whichcanbe done anywhere with
minimumcondition(circumstancesof ICT).Anditcan give the opportunityof bringingup Rightware,
if it ispossible tochoose the suitable place (suchbeautiful countryside).Onthe otherhand,
unfortunatelyhomeworkingandisolatedworkingstylewill increase.Andinthese cases,telework
may be the cause of disturbingGembaKaizen.

C. World chaos
ThisCOVDpandemichasthe powerof causingthe chaotic worldof century. Andthisdisclosed(or
nowstill isdisclosing)the social contradictionswhichare social disparity,incomeinequality,gap
betweenrichandpoor,racism,egoof the large countries,reactionof globalism&populism,
domesticfirstprincipal,exclusionism.Thesewere coveredwhenthe economywaswell byit.But
whenthe economywasdestroyedinthe world,potential inconvenienttruthswere revealed.
We are in an era where we donotknow what will happenandhow we will develop.New virusesmay
occur repeatedly.Andthe secondwave of COVIDmightbe strongeranddangerthanfirst.
Ego of large countries
At present(unfortunately)the situationisnoworldleader.Forinstance,G7or G20 fell intoa
dysfunction.While the noworldleaderwill progressinthe future,there isnodoubtthat
international cooperationwillbe weakenedandgeopolitical conflictswill increase.

Andthe firstproblemfacingthe internationalcommunityisthe gapwidening(gapbetweenrichand
poor,social gap, racism).Many workersandmiddle classeswill explodetheirangertothe
governmentsandleaders.The economyisshifting fromphysical store salesandthe real economyto
virtual anddigital,andmanyunresponsiveworkerswill lose theirjobs.
US- China conflict
In the geopolitical conflict,the mostconcernedisthe conflictbetweenthe USand China.
Unfortunately,USfailedthe initial responsetoCOVIDandsearchingthe excuse toChina.Andthe
divisionof supplychainwill be accelerated.Enclosure of the supplychainof alliesunitwillbe
progressed.Inotherwords,eachcountry'sstrategicprioritiesandglobal supplychainswill become
more locallyrooted,changingthe flow of globalization.Animmediate concernisthe developmentof
Vaccine andsupply.Atpresentmore than140 of vaccine developmentplansare beingprogressedby
countrieswithnocorporation.Moreover,WHOmightbe fell intodysfunction.Andthe problem
called"vaccine nationalism"mightbe occurred.
D.An eerie era
Why doesthispandemiccause the worldwide panic,tensionandeconomical andsocial chaos?โ€ฆItis
fear.
Nowfromwhere a feardoescome?โ€ฆA fearcomesfrom 3 elementsandthese synergisticeffects.
One isthe actual harm (death):As I wrote before Ifeltmyfeelingof MementoMori.A popular
actors and actressdiedwiththe Cytokine storm(Immunerunaway). And,we saw manycasesof
medical collapse.And,noone will be afraidif there isnosuchperson.
Other one is the unpredictability:The new coronavirushasa greatcharacteristicthat itcan be
transmittedby asymptomaticinfectedpeople.Andmostof the people don'tknow if theyare
transmitted.Theydon'tknowif itwill be transmittedtootherpersons.We can'tpredict.Some
people are asymptomatic,andevenif theyfinishwithoutsymptoms,thereisafearof Cytokine storm
that some people becomesoseriousthattheydie within10days.
Intowhere are we? โ€ฆAre Tokyoor Beijingin2ndwave? โ€ฆWhat isnext? โ€ฆMay the secondwave be
changedand stronger? โ€ฆThe victimsare increasinginSouthAmericaandAfrica.
And last one isthe control inability:Whencan we gain effective vaccines? โ€ฆCurrently,researchon
therapeuticdrugsinexistingmedicinesisunderway. However,there isnospecificcuratives,andalso
it issaidthat it will take atleasta yearto developavaccine.
What thismeansisthat there isno way tocontrol the symptoms.Inotherwords,itfulfilsthe fear-
causingconditionof "uncontrollability". EvenUS& Europa cannotcontrol it.
A fearispossible toexpressasnext:
๐น๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ = ๐ด๐‘๐‘ก๐‘ข๐‘Ž๐‘™ โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘š ๐‘ฅ ๐‘ˆ๐‘›๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘–๐‘™๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘ฆ ๐‘ฅ ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘™ ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘–๐‘™๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘ฆ

The characteristicof COVIDshowsthatit iscausingfearto people because itisanunknownvirusthat
isveryunpredictable anduncontrollable.
A Presidenthastoldtohispeople thatthis(COVID-19) isjustaninfluenzaandnonecessarytofear so
much. And whenconsideringcalmly,everyyear250~600 thousand people diedwithinfluenza. At
firstglance,hisassertioniscorrect.Of course,itis wrong,eventhoughthere isa pastdata (whichare
the resultsof 250~600 thousandvictims.). He believedthatthisCOVIDalsosame aspast influenzas.
We learnfromthe past. Andwe call such attitude asscientific.A science isbasedonlearningfrom
the past. A scientististhe expertof past,butnot future andunpredictedthingandascience isweak
againstinexperienceddisaster.
Therefore,we needtotake the attitude of "fearcorrectly".
Fear correctly

III. Control of lubricating oil.
A.Machine & Equipment Management
Again,TPMis one part of Machine & EquipmentManagement.
The regionof Machine & EquipmentManagementisalittle wide andincludesProductionplanning,
Safety,Workability(includingthe surroundingcircumstances),Law,IoT,Total Production flow,
Energy,Quality&reliability,Contaminationprevention(includinghazardswaste),Environmental
hygiene,Disasterprevention,Skill control,StandardizationandMachine constitution(including
Peripheral devise&equipment),itsconstruction(includingspare parts) andTPM.
B. What is the purpose of TPM?
Long daysago, and at leastbefore the collapse of Japanese Bubble- Economy(1986~ 1991) a word
was a mainstreaminJapan.
The word is"Scrap and Build (Japanglish;JapaneseEnglish)"
โ€œThe original meaning of Scrap and Build is โ€˜Achievehigh efficiency of production facilities by
replacing old production facilities with new facilities by abolishing old and inefficientfactory
facilitiesโ€™ .โ€
Wikipedia
Thenthe trendof productionGemba wasto dispose (alittle) oldtype machine andreplace tonew.
Andproductionengineersoughtnewmachinesincollectedcataloguesandcompetedtobuy.And
productionengineermisunderstoodhisjobandbecame a(socalled) catalogue engineer.
In that trend,a companytook(andis taking) adifferentwaywhichgivingimportance tousingold
type machineswithwell maintenance andKaizen.The companyisToyota.
As I wrote inMakingStream of Production3
,Toyotaalmostmakeshismachinesbyhimself and
continuingtogive Kaizenandwell maintenance.
Nowthat the bubble economyhascollapsedandthe economyhastransitionedtoalow-growth
economy,we have changedfromthe eraof disposable equipmenttothe eraof how well we
maintainexistingequipmentandcontinue production.
Machine & EquipmentManagementis"managementtoefficientlyutilize the functionsand
performance of the facilityfromthe planningof the facilityinstallationtooperation,maintenance,
and disposal."
Its regionisWhole life of machine &equipment.

C. Maintenance tribology
By the way,I wrote before thatit issaidthat 60% occurrence of failuresinmovingpartsof machine
are causedof the problemsof lubricants(includinglubricantsupply).
Andwhenlookingthe machine failure inoverall machine,more than25% numberoccurred,more
than 27% of machine stopandmore than30% of lossamountare causedof lubricanttroubles.
Thenthe lubricantoil control isveryimportantand essentialfactorof Preventive Maintenance.
Nowrecentyearthe wordof maintenance tribologyisbecomingpopularforpreventive
maintenance.
What ismaintenance tribology? โ€ฆIthinkthatthere are manypeople whodonotreallyhear
maintenance tribology,butif tribologyisreplacedby"lubricationandfriction",itmayeasyto
understand.
Maintenance tribologyisbasicallyacombinationof maintenance andlubrication,butmore thanjust
a combination.
The two mainpointsof the conceptof maintenance tribologyare asfollows:
๏‚ท One of themisthat itis basedonreliabilityengineering.Itisanimportantelementin
maintenance tribologytodeveloplogicalmaintenance basedonreliabilityengineering,
rather thanperformingmaintenance indiscriminately.

Tribology
Again,whenlookingabookof Machine & EquipmentMaintenance,sometimeswe cansee the word
of "Tribology4
".
WhenI was young,there wasnโ€™tthisword.Butat presentthiswordisusedverynaturally.Ithinkyou
may knowit.But justto be sure:
โ€œTribology is a field of science and technology aboutcontactsurfacesthatinteractwith each
otherwhen two objectsmoverelativeto each otherso that they slide with each other,and

The originis ฯ„ฯฮนฮฒฯ‰, whichmeansโ€œrubbingโ€inGreek.ArnoldJ.Sommerfeld(Germanphysicist),the
creator of fluidlubricationtheory,presentedimportant researchinits earlydays.
The term was proposedina report(JostReportby PeterJost5
) thatestimateddamage due tofriction

People involvedintribologyare called โ€œTribologistsโ€.
D.Damage to machine

As youcan see that these typesof damage are called degradationmodes.Of the deteriorationmodes
that occur in mechanical equipment,wear,leakage,fatigue,oil deterioration,andothermodesthat
are verycloselyrelatedtotribologyare rankedhigh,andtribologyhasaverydeeprelationshipto

3) Oilingintomouthdecided.
4) at the timingdecided.
5) Justquantitydecided.
6) Ontofrictionsurface certainly.
Let's lookat one by one.
1) According to the application;
&
2) Use clean and correct lubricating oil; โ€ฆ I introducednexttable:
Lubrication Oil (From the Website of Japanese Lubricating Oil Company)
Type Purpose
SpindleOil Spindle oil is generally used in high speed rotating parts such as light load machines,
small electric motors, and spinning machines. The characteristic oil is that it has low
viscosity and low load.
DynamoOil Spindle oil Dynamo oil is mainly used for large motors, generators, blowers and
ventilators that rotate at high speed.
Turbine Oil Used for lubrication of high-speed bearing parts of various turbines. It is also used for
lubrication of hydraulically operated parts of various machines such as compresors.
There are two types of turbine oil: non added turbine oil and added turbine oil.
Unadded turbine oil is characterized by excellent water separation. On the other hand,
added turbine oil is characterized by its excellent oxidation stability, de properties, rust
prevention and water separation.
MachineOil Machine oils are widely used among lubricating oils and are characterized by that they
contain no additives. Generally used as lubricating oil for bearing rotating friction
parts of various machines. One of the features is that the varies depending on the type
of crude oil. Lubricants are classified into normal grade lubricants.
CylinderOil Cylinder oil is mainly used for cylinders and valves of steam engines. Cylinder oil has a
high viscosity and is used as an oil for parts with high temperatures and loads.
Gear Oil Gear oils are mainly used in various gears as lubricants for reducing friction and
cooling of reduction gears such as general machinery and rolling mills. There is a type
with an extreme pressure agent added and a type with no additive. Extreme pressure
agent added type is added with abrasion resistance and seizure resistance. On the
other hand, the characteristics of the extreme pressure agent free type are excellent in
oxidation stability, water separation, defoaming and rust prevention.
Bearing Oil As the name implies. bearing oil is used for lubricating the bearings of machines. Has
|rust prevention properties that prevent rust.
CompressorOil Compressor oil is used for lubrication of compressor cylinders and bearings. Types a
divided into reciprocating type and screw type. It is characterized by extremely low
carbon generation and excellent oxidation stability and rust prevention. The screw
type is also characterized by excellent oxidation stability, rust prevention and water
separation
SlidingSurface
Oil
Sliding surface oil is commonly used to lubricate sliding guideways on machine tool
the types of sliding surface oil are classified into those that are dedicated to guideway
and those that are also used as hydraulic oil. It features excellent resistance t vibration
phenomena generated on the sliding surface. rust prevention, and oxidation stability.
Refrigerator
MachineOil
Refrigerator oil is mainly used for lubrication of refrigerators. When mineral oil-based
lubricating oil is cooled, the minimum temperature at which it flows is low. So, it is
characterized by good stability to refrigerants such as ammonia. Refrigerator oils are
divided into mineral oils and synthetic oils such as alkylbenzenes.
HydraulicOil The hydraulic oil is based on turbine oil and contains additives. It is used as hydraulic
oil for hydraulic media and hydraulic pumps. Generally, hydraulic oils are
characterized by low viscosity. It is also characterized by excellent oxidation stability,
water separation, defoaming, and rust prevention. In addition, there are types that
exhibit viscosity. temperature characteristics. wear resistance. fire resistance. etc., so

they can be used properly depending on the type of hydraulic pump and operating
conditions. The types of hydraulic oils include general hydraulic oils of the R & O type.
low pour point oils with high viscosity index. wear resistant fluids, and flame-retardant
oils
3) Oilinginto mouth decided;
Omit.Please,lookatthe instructionmanual.
4) At the timingdecided.
It isimportantto share when"whennecessary",butforthatpurpose itisnecessarytoset
the oilingcycle.
Normally,itshouldbe setitbyreferringtothe instructionmanual,butif itisnot listedinthe
instructionmanual,itshouldbe reasonablydecidedthe standardand thendecidedbytrial
and error.In that case,I thinkitis bettertoset itwhile checkingthe conditionof the oil film
of the lubricatingoil.Inthiscase,settingalittle shorterthanthe possible cycle andgradually
lengtheningthiscycle willpreventthe riskof "outof oil".
Of course,timelyoilingnotonlyinvolvesdecidingthe cycle andsupplyingthe lubricatingoil
at that time,but"it isnecessarytoreliablyperformoilingandinspectionatthe beginningof
everyday."
Andit isrequiredtoimplementthe "scientificexperience".
5) Just quantity decided.
Suitable amountof lubricantsupplyisrequired. Becausetoomuchor toolittle oil quantity
can cause poorlubrication.
๏‚ท If too much: This maycause oil leakage,ordependingonthe lubricationmethod,the
deteriorationof oil mayleadtoa decrease inviscosityandcause poorlubrication.
๏‚ท If too little:Anoil filmwill notbe formedonthe frictionsurface,causing"galling"or
"burning".
The appropriate amountof lubricationisdetermined accordingtothe slidingparts,rotating
parts of the equipment,movementconditionsandlubricationmethod.
Determined!?โ€ฆDeterminedinthe instructionmanual? โ€ฆNo,Ihavenโ€™tseensuchconvenient
descriptioninit.
Unfortunately, itisnecessarytodetermine byyourself eventhoughsuchdataisin the
instructionmanual.
CirculationlubricationandTotal losslubrication
The lubrication method variesgreatly depending on whethercirculation is to reduce
friction or wearor lubrication forcooling.
In thecase of "Total loss type"lubrication,it is sufficientto supply the amountof
supply necessary foroptimallubrication activity,and in the case of the "Circulation
type",it is sufficientto supply the amountof lubrication based on thecooling effect.

Nowinhere I describe the case of "Total losslubrication".
How to decide the suitablequantity? โ€ฆThe formulaforthe amountof lubricationisshown
belowforreference.The calculationformuladiffersdependingonthe type of lubrication
point,souse the appropriate calculationformula.However,Itisimpossible toaccurately
obtainthe requiredamountof lubricationwithusingthe calculationformula.
Thisis because of dependingonvariousconditionssuchasbearingmaterial,surface
roughness,rotationspeed,load,operatingconditions,ambienttemperature,andtype of
lubricatingoil,seal condition,new machine,ormachine used.
Thenfinallyyouneedtodecide itbasedonscientificexperience (tryandinvestigationand
record)
The "ManagementGuideforLubrication"publishedbythe JapanManagementAssociationis
definedasfollows.
"If you give the necessary oil film between the two sliding surfacesfirst,then you can
replenish the amountof leakagefromtheshaftend to obtain good lubrication
performance."
It recommendsto"determinetherequired amountof lubrication in advanceusing a
calculation formula and determinethe amountof lubrication with referenceto the amount
and experiencevaluesafter machinetrial operation".

IV. Whole life of machine & equipment
By the way,I wrote the word of "Whole life of machine &equipment"inbefore page andsaidthat
the regionof Machine & EquipmentManagementisfromthe planningof the facilityinstallationto
operation,maintenance,anddisposal.
Andwhenlookingatthe whole life fromTPM,the famousBustub Curve wouldbe helpful.
Please lookatnextpicture.
There are THREE failure periodswhichare Initial Failure Period,Accidental Failure PeriodandWear
Failure Period.And asyouunderstand,the failure rate tendstoincrease in"WearFailure Period"
Obviously,if the machinerunsfora longtime,internal partswill starttowearand fatigue.The period
whenfailuresincrease due tothe life of the machine iscalled"WearFailurePeriod".
Andbefore thisperiodcomes,we mustmake effortstoextendthe "AccidentalFailurePeriod"in
whichoperationisstable byexchangingthe expendable partsandmaintaining.
Whetherthe time forfailure due todeteriorationorwearof parts comesearlierorlaterdependson
howthe machine isused.
How to delaythisfailure periodisashowcase forthe technicianswhoperformmaintenance,so
periodicinspectionsare essential tasks.

V. Teaching the company
I'm writingone case of a middle-classindustrial company.Andwiththroughthiscase,Iwrite my
methodof newsystemintroduction&stability.
Thiscompanywishedtoimprove (reduce)productioncostforrecoveringprofitandROE.But this
company(he) tookstrange direction.
His wisheswere torecoverthe profit. Andhe knew the necessityof salesexpansion,andwishedit.
Thenhe wishedthe costreductionof productionGemba.
He believedthe importance of QCD(Quality, CostandDelivery).
Quality?โ€ฆYes,itisessential,butisverybasicconditionforabusiness.And,the qualityissuewas
coveredwithheavyqualityassurance tactics.Howeverof course itwasneversufficienttothe
survival of thiscompany.
Delivery?โ€ฆHe coveredthisissuewithhavingheavyinventory,whichcausedthe excessand
obsolescencematerial andproductsanddispose losses.
Anotherone of concernwas hismarketposition. Hismarketposition(share) of relevantproducts
were fourthor lower.
Qualityisof course important.However,itisverynatural thingtomake businessnowadaysandeven
thoughit wasimproved,itmightnotbe affectedtothe future growth.
To keepthe customersorder,hismeasureswasthe quickresponse of delivery,basedonthe heavy
inventory.
A.Something strange.
WhenI joinedtothis company, I feltsomethingstrange:
1) His targetwas to recoverthe profit.Buthe desiredthe introductionof JIPM'sTPM
2) Notpossible tofeel the enthusiasminGemba.
3) Many Mudas in process.(Suchre-inspectionbyinspectors,excessorobsolete materials&
finishedgoods.)
4) I hadn't seenthe face of the presidentinthisplant.(There were somephotos.)
5) There isno middle andlong-termplan.
6) Strange annual profitplan.
7) Outsourcingpolicy.
I explainone byone.

1) His target was to recover the profit andsales expansion based on the cost
competitiveness.
But he desiredthe introductionof JIPM'sTPM.Why TPM? โ€ฆHe had knownthe corporate problems
whichwere notonlythe productioncost,butalso the salesgrowth. Buthe wishedtointroduce
JIPM's TPM.
Therefore, whenImade asessionwiththe directors,theirrequirementwasjustthe TPM
introduction.TheybelievedthatwithintroducingJIPM'sTPM,itis possible toreduce cost.And
initiallyIimaginedthatmanylosseswhichwerelossesof material,labourandLT (leadtime) caused
machine troubles.Butโ€ฆ
Whenlookingaroundthe factories,Icouldunderstandthe causesof highcostwhichwere mainlynot
causedmachine troubles.And, IsuggestedthatTPMintroduction andstabilityare goodthing.
However, the introductionof TPMisnot affecttocost reduction.But theyinsistedtothe
introductionstubbornly.
It was indeedstrange thingforme.And, Iwrote thatif desiringtrue costreduction,itwasnecessary
to resolve followingthings:
๏‚ท Reductionof material loss(inQualitycost.)
๏‚ท Reformof productionplan(JITconceptand eliminate excess&obsolescence)
Thenโ€ฆ
๏‚ท The projectteam suggestedthe TPMintroductionconceptas"JITmachine condition".
But withjustabove items,itwasn'tpossible toresolvethe illnessof this companywhichwascycle of
HighPrice and No SalesGrowth(orSalesDecrease) causedof HighCostConstitution,Excess
Inventory(forkeepingcompetitiveness) alsopoorTQMthengain HighCost (because of Material loss
and qualitycostincrease).
Unfortunately, Ipromisedtohelpthiscompany,althoughitwas underthe effectof the drink.
Japanese sayingthat:"A samurai'sword is as good ashis bond".Then,Isuggestedthe introductionof
TQM afterthe introductionof TPMand suitable timing.
Now,withjustabove problemsandsolving,isitpossibletoreduce cost? โ€ฆNo.It isnot sufficient.
2) Not possible tofeel the enthusiasminGemba.
There were some causesโ€ฆOf course, one of cause wasthe initial stage andfailedtomove toactual
practice afterthe stage of planning. Butthe reason was notjustthis.
By the way,are employeesjustthe tool of gettingprofit? โ€ฆItiscorrectif we were inthe age of the is
โ€œModern Times7
โ€œ by SirCharlesChaplin.Thiswasacceptedasthe voice of managementside.And,a
companyisimportanttool for justearningcostof living. Butitisalsocorrect, eventoday.
Thisis acceptedasthe voice of employeeside.But Inthe generationof Millennial andAI,the

Thenit isnot possible toconsidercorporate managementwithout"employeeengagement".
3) Many Mudas in process. (Suchre-inspectionby inspectors, excessor
obsolete materials &finishedgoods.)
I listedupthis"Many Mudas inprocess". Andalthoughthere isa difference of degree,itis,
unfortunately,quite natural thinginthe world.
Unfortunately, thiscompanymistookthe directiontoresolve the highcostconstitution.Andโ€ฆThis
mistake wasjusthiscompany'sresponsibility? โ€ฆYes. Itwasthe responsibilityof topmanagement,
particularlythe president.A companydirectedbyincompetentpresidentruins.
But a salvationforthiscompanywasthe managementteamwhonegotiatedthe directiontothis
president.Theyhadnormal mind.
4) I hadn't seenthe face of this president.
Accordingto the directorshe doesn'treside andcome tothisplantnormally.Andhe doesn'tattend
the makingof middle &long-termplanandannual profitplan, andjustgivingprofittargetand
authorization.
Middle & long-termplanare notmade annually.Butitisrequiredtoreview andthe correction.But
he doesn'tattendto thisimportantevent.
A directortoldme:โ€œOur companydoesn'tgive the importance to suchmiddle &long-termplanโ€.
Because,nowadaysitisthe age of speedandthe businessenvironmentischangingsorapidly.
Therefore, itisnomeaningstobotherto make suchplan.
I was surprisedbythe director'scomment.Thiscompanyismiddle classscale companywithnumber
of employeesandsalesamount.Buteventhoughitisa middle-classscale company,thiscompany
hadn't understoodthe meaningandimportance of Middle & Long-termplans.
5) Middle & Long-Termplans.
Long term strategy.
In Factory Management-2,Ihaveintroduced thecaseof my previouscompany,SUMITOMO
Wiring Systems.Thelong-termstrategy (plan) was Strategy of Vision "12".
And the contentswere:"We madethe strategy of vision "12" at the year2008 that is to
realize the goal until 2012 and the goalis: (1) Consolidated sales:6,000 million (usdollar.)
per year. (2) Global marketshare:25%.
Afterthis SUMITOMOmadenext long-termstrategy "Vision- IIto improveQCDDM (Quality,
Cost,Delivery, Developmentand Management).
And now,He madelong term plan (strategy) "22V-Reduction25".(Iomitthe detail contents).

Thereforeโ€ฆIwasstunnedbyhiswords.
Annual management plan (Profit plan)
The importantjobrole of presidentistomake a corporate managementplanswhichare middle&
long-termplanandannual profit(management) plan.
Andhe mustexplainhiswill toall employees(andforinstance bank) withpapersandwords.Itis
quite importanteventtoappeal hisstrongwill andrequiringthe all employeeโ€™s cooperation.
He escapesfromhismostimportantjobrole whichisto take hisspearheadingtomake suchplanning
and appeal.
Making or reviewing&correctingMiddle & Long-termplanisimportantfornot onlya bigand
mediumscale companies,butalsoforsmall scale companies.Itisquite true thatthe business
environment&conditionischangingrapidly.Itisneverexaggeratedtosaythatit isnot possible to
predictone yearlater, muchmore notpossible topredict3 years,5 yearslater.For instance, inthe
past there wasworldwide trouble whichisLehmanBrosBankruptcyat 2008. Latelythere were
Brexit,deserterof climate change andUS-Chinatrade friction.Andnow COVID-19isattacking
worldwide economy.We knowverywell that"Noone knowswhatthe future holds".Butstill making
long& middle termplanisimportantfora company.
These are the compassof company'sfuture growth.Andannual corporate managementplanwhich
ismade withcurrentmarketsituation,reviewedmiddle& long-termplanisconcrete strategy.And,
aftermakingthisannual managementplan,the presidentneedstoexplaintoall employees(and
sometimesrelevantbank) withhisownwordsdirectly.
The timingof directspeechbypresidentisthe beginningof workof the New Yearalsoin the
companynewsletter.Mypreviouscompanyhasmanyblanchesandplantsinthe world. Therefore,
the directspeechismade withvideomessage. Anyway, the jobrole of president isimportant.
In thiscompany,the presidentneglectssuchimportantplanning andalsothe event.
Thus,in suchsituation,itisunderstandablethatsolow motivationof employees. Moreover, this
companyfailedthe initialTPMintroductionactivityandlosthalf year.Butnotonlythisthing,but
alsothe lack of president'sjobrole affectedtothe employeeโ€™s moral.
Then, I lecturedtothe directors.
Please make long & middle term plan.
It isquite true that the changingbusinessenvironmentisrapid. And,of course,ithappensthe
difference andsometimesbigdifferences. However,the occurrence of difference isimportant.
The plan isthe scenarioof gainingprofitandexpandingbusiness.
Is the importantthingtoreviewwhythe difference occurred? โ€ฆThenitispossibletoimprove the
skill of makingplanwithforecast.

6) Strange annual profit planโ€ฆ
B. Cost reduction for this company.
I describedthe highcostconstitutionof thiscompanyandalsothe bad cycle.Andit(TPM
introduction) wasnotsufficient forhisdesire.
Again,hisdesire was
1) Cost reductioninproductionprocess.
2) Improvementof corporate constitution8
.
3) TPM introduction(butasthe meansof above propositions)
Why he wishedsuchthings.Asyourememberthe presidentwishedtorecoverthe profitandROE.
Andhe discussedwithhisfriendconsultant.Thenhe decidedtointroduce JIPM'sTPM.He believed
that itis possible toreduce costwithJIPM'sTPM. Now we needto have doubtsabout2 things.
Firstly, please lookatnextfamiliarfigure.Itisgoodand I like thisJIPM'sfigure whichshowsthe 16

That day the directorvisitedmyhotel withthe salesdepartmentdirector andinvite me todrinkin
the hotel bar.
ThenI guessedhistacticthat there mustbe somethingconsultation andIwhisperedinmymindthat
I'm not goingto fall forhistrick andinvitedthemtotake coffee inalounge andtoldthem:โ€•I'm
sorry I cannotdrinktonightbecause of myhealthregulation โ€•anditistrue thatI stop drinkingevery
3 days.Andthisday wasthe dayof regulation.
In thisway,we sat downina sofaof lounge andorderedcoffees.
Then,the directorbeganthe talking.Itwas indeedtheywereinsevertroubleabout:Project

โ€• Sensei,howcanwe do? โ€•the directoraskme.
โ€• Howcan youdo? โ€• thenI answeredโ€• Idon'tknow andit isnot my matter.The contract of my

โ€• You suggestedustointroduce TQMto resolve the qualityissue andthe stabilityof TPM.
โ€•continuedthe directorโ€•.Butstill itis notsufficientforouraim. We are in trouble.Itisvery

The conclusionof thismeetingwasasnext:(Fromthe descriptionof TPM-109
)
๏‚ท Conclusion by chairperson (Director):
- Continuation of thisproject.
- No dismissal of Gemba employees.(No leakthis discussion contentsregarding the partof
remarkof dismissalto any personsincluding projectmembers.)
- "JIT Machinecondition"conceptis supported.Butโ€ฆ
- No excess machinesaresold.
- Sales (including price and quality) strategy isdiscussed urgently.
๏‚ท The presidentmentioned a compromisewhich the dismissalimplementation is given the
grace period of 6 months.
- During the 6 months,salesincreaseshould beresulted.
- The scale of sales increase should bemore than theincome amountby dismissal.
- The sales amountincreaseactivity should beimplemented as companywideactivity.
Anyway,the dismissalwasgiventhe grace period.

thing.Isthe labourcost fixedcostorvariable expenses(cost) foryourcompany? Of course, fixed
cost, am I right?โ€•Iasked.
โ€• Of course, fixedcostwithoutthe expenseof overtimework โ€•answeredthe director.
โ€• It isindeedyourcompanyisverystrange โ€•Ishown myfrustrationโ€•.Youdesire toreduce cost,
but as the resultcreate bigMuda causedof the cost reductionactivity. Isaiditisstrange.But I need
to paraphrase to "stupid".
โ€• Your outsourcingpolicymade bigmistake whichdoesn'trealize costreduction,butcausesbig
Muda. Your cost reductionwayiswrong!
The subdirectorshownasurprise expressionandthenhe asked: โ€• ButSensei.We couldrealize the
certaincost reduction.Andif stoppingthe outsourcingpolicy,we cannotrealize the price
competitiveness. We buyandsell some productswithusingthe subcontracts โ€•the subdirector
recognized.
โ€• OK.I explainone by one.Andthe meaningof one byone isthe case of outsourcingof production
processesandoutsourcingof finishedgoods(like astradingcompany) โ€•Idetailed.
โ€• Firstly,pleaseimplementimmediateactiontostopoutsourcingof productionprocesses. These
productionprocessescanbe producedinternally,aren'tthese? โ€• andthe I askedagainโ€• Youhave
workersandmachines,haven'tyou? โ€ฆOf course, productionsupportdepartmentssuchHR,
Accounting,Productionengineers,Maintenance engineers,Quality,Warehouse etc.alsoare included
inthe workers.
โ€• Now โ€•Iexplainedโ€•,whatis"Cost"?โ€ฆA cost iscalculatedas next:โ€•AndIwrite below downon
the whiteboardatthe time I speak:โ€œCost= Fixed cost+ Variablecostโ€ andI detailed eachone.
โ€• Fixedcost:Labourcost (DirectandIndirect),Headoffice,Depreciationof machine &equipment,
land& building,paymentof patentandinterestandetc.
โ€• Variable cost:Material,transportationcost,outsourcingcostandothercost variable relatedto
salesamount.
โ€• Subcontractalsoproducesyourproductsor work-in-progresswithusingfixedcostandvariable
cost. Nowyou understand, Ithink โ€•andItray to explainโ€ฆ
โ€• There are big Muda inthisproduction. These are duplicate fixedcost โ€•andIdetailedโ€•:
Outsourcingfixedcostplusinternalfixedcost. Andunfortunately, youcannoteliminatethe internal
fixedcostwhichislabours (directandindirect) andexcessmachines.Also,thereare some variable
cost Mudas. For instance, transportationMudaโ€ฆ
โ€• I confirmyou.Youcannot dismissexcesslabourswhichare directproductionworkersandalso
supportingstaffs(office workers,supervisors,material handlers.) And,youcannotdeal withexcess
machines,because of the will of yourpresident. โ€•ThenIaskedโ€• How canyou eliminate these
duplicate Fixedcosts?โ€ฆThe answeris to stopto use subcontractfor supplementsome processes.
One of the subdirectorsanswered: โ€• Sir,if we stopto use outsourcing,the product'scostisincrease.
And,we cannot have the necessarycostcompetitiveness. Itisquite clearthatthe cost of subcontract
ischeaperthan our internal production.

โ€•OKโ€•Itriedto explainโ€•Mr.Subdirector,pleaseconsiderthe next:Isittrue that the cost
submittedbysubcontractischeaperthaninternal productioncost? โ€•Iaskedfigurativelyโ€•.You
compare the internal costwhichiscalculatedwiththe hourlyrate and standardhoursand Variable
cost.
ThenI written downonthe whiteboardmeantime Ipointedout again:โ€œCost= Variablecost+ Hourly
Rate x SH (Standard Hourof the product) โ€œ
โ€• And,the hourlyrate isconstitutedof the fixedcostsuchlabourcost,machine depreciationand
headoffice expenses โ€•Idetailed โ€•.Thisinternal costisina sense provisional cost.Anditisessential
to see andcalculate as companywide situation.
โ€• Onthe otherhandโ€•Ifacedโ€•,buyingfromsubcontractisthe external purchase costandis
variable cost.And basically, the calculation methodisdifferent.If youuse anoutsourcingcompany
justbecause the internal costisapparentlyhigh,youwill notbe able tosecure enoughprofittocover
the internal fixedcostโ€ฆ
โ€• Thismeansthat profitsthatwouldhave beengainedif done internallycouldnotbe obtained,and
it isdifficulttomake asufficientprofitinthisstate โ€•Iconcluded.
The subdirectorshownanexpressionof surpriseanddoubtandthenI triedto explaininabetter
way:โ€• Mr. subdirectorstill you seemtobe notto understandwell. OK.Let'sconsideritfromthe
pointof viewof Muda. โ€• AndI detailedโ€• youpaytosubcontractthe moneyof subcontract'sFixed
cost (suchlabourand machine) andVariable cost(Material,transportation cost) โ€ฆ
โ€• If you couldproduce same productswith"0 Fixedcost",donโ€™tyouthinkitischeapestdoyou?
โ€ฆVariable costmightbe same evenif usingsubcontractor internal processโ€ฆ
โ€• Andif youcouldproduce withno cost of subcontract Fixedcost(eventhoughthe fixedcostof
subcontractis cheaperthaninternal fixedcostwhichisunneglectable),itcanbe calculatedas
"profitโ€โ€•Icontinuedโ€ฆ
โ€• You reviewthe outsourcingpolicyimmediatelyandreturnthe productionprocessof outsourcing.
Above iswe lookedatfromthe pointof view of Muda (duplicate fixedcostwhichare internal and,in
the subcontract) ...
โ€• You have workers(productionandindirect) andmachines(depreciation)andexpense thesecosts.
And,these internal fixedcosts are notused. Soโ€•Iconcludedโ€•,youhave excesslabourcapacityand
alsomachines.
โ€• I thinkIcouldunderstandthe duplicate fixedcost.Butโ€ฆโ€•the subdirectorcontinuedtryingto
explaindeeply despite his doubtsinhisassertion.
โ€• Let'slookat from the pointof view of marginal profit. Ibelieveyoucould understand"Marginal
profitand Break-even point".
โ€• Marginal profitโ€ฆNowlet'slookat fromdifferentview pointwhichisthe Marginal Profit. Asyou
know โ€• I thoughtthatthey knowโ€• Marginal profitsare calculatedasnext:โ€•AndIwrittendownin

Then,
๏‚ท Marginalprofit - Profit= Fixed cost.
โ€• InJapan marginal profitiscalledasLimitprofit.Whyso called? โ€•Iaskedfigurativelyโ€•โ€ฆEven
thoughat worst case,itmust be requiredtocoverand obtainthe fixedcostinthe sales.And,the
case of Profit= 0 isthe case of Marginalprofit= Fixed cost
โ€• But itis notthe worst case โ€•I recognizeโ€•.There isacase to acceptto receive ordereven though
it isnot possible tocoverall fixedcost.Youroutsourcingcase ispossibletocalculate asnext:
๏‚ท Marginalprofit= Salesamount - variablecost (outsourcing)
โ€• It seemstobe smallerthaninternal production.But actually, yoursituationis:
๏‚ท Profit= Salesamount - variable cost- internal Fixed cost.
โ€• And,yourinternal Fixedcostwhichare excesslabours,excessmachinessupportstaffs&land&
buildingetc.(allocatedtothe products) are veryexpensive โ€•Icontinuesโ€ฆ
โ€• These expensive internal fixedcosts canneverbe 0, evenif these are notusedfor the products.
No,it ispossible to0 amount.If you couldreduce indismissal anddeal machinesandshrinkcompany

The Subdirectordoubted fora while andthen,he askedme:โ€• AndSensei,whatisyoursuggestion?
โ€• I conformyouagain โ€•andI repeatedagainโ€•.Youcannotdismissexcessdirectlabour(production

TOC and Throughput
You knowthe wordof TOC and Throughput.Thisstudysaysone importantpointwhichisthe

one isto be neededone month(30days),whichisbetterforacompany? โ€ฆThe cash flow is
verymuch different.
In the thoughtof cash flow whichisbetterinternal productionoroutsourcing? โ€ฆOf course,
internal productionisbetter.
The case of outsourcingnecessityisjustnext3:
a. To supplementthe functionbeinginsufficientinternally.
b. Needequipmentandtechnologynotavailable inthe company.
c. To cover fluctuationsindemand.Demandfluctuatesgreatlyandfixedresources
cannot be kept
Throughput
In somewhere,Ihave writtenthis:โ€œA scholarissucha personwhowrite andpresentvery
natural thingin Gembaas if new discoveryโ€.
TOC advocate to maximize Marginal profit.And,accordingtoa book, Throughputis
explainedasnext.

In the partial optimization,onlythe productionefficiencyof acertainprocessisimproved,
and as a result,the productioncapacityof the entire factoryor the overall profitmaynotbe
achieved.Therefore,overalloptimizationisrealizedbyaimingatmaximizingthe throughput.
"True variable costs"are onlyvariable costssuchas raw materialsandtransportationcosts,
and do notinclude so-calledfactorycostssuchas depreciationcosts,utilitiescosts,and
labourcosts includedincosting.And,profitabilityisdeterminedbasedonthe throughputper
unittime inthe constraintprocess.
Why issuch obviousnessinthe limelight? โ€ฆThe jobof a scholaristo identifythe truth.And
thisadvocate scholardidgood job. However, itistoousual inGemba. Therefore, Iwrote the

โ€• But whydonโ€™tyouuse it before continuingoutsourcingpolicy? โ€•Iaskedandalsoansweredto

Then,I removedall mypreviousannotationsonthe whiteboardof the meetingroomand,Istart to

And,the Outsourcingpaymentis Variable cost.And,this,oVismuchhigherthanthe Variable
cost (iV) of Internal manufacturing.
Then, oV > iV.
And,V isthe functionof Salesamount. Therefore y= Vx.
Then, above Variable cost:outsourcinghasbiggerangle thanVariablecostInternal

The importantpointsare THREE.
One is oV > iV.Because:

โ€• If you wishtodo general costreduction,itisnecessarytomake another project. ThenI
recommendtotreatthe probleminfrontof you. In thisway, I neverdenytoreduce excesslabour

โ€• So,I recommendtodo Break-evenpointdiagnosis andtoreview the outsourcingpolicy
immediately.
โ€• We understandSensei โ€•directorsagreedโ€•.Thenhow aboutthe requestof consultingexpansion

Basedon my suggestion,managementteamdiscussedthe implementationof investigationaboutthe

Andof course, theyfoundandunderstoodthatthe outsourcingpolicywaswrongandinternal
manufacturingwithcurrentlabourandmachine capacitywasmuch betterprofitable.Also,itwas
requiredthe salesamountincrease andthe efficiencyincrease (tosupportthe salesincrease).
Thentheyconfirmedthe directionwhichis"JITmachine condition"ismatchto the company's
concern.
Problem
Whendiscussingit,one difficultywas highlightedagain.Itwasthe issue of standardtime
accuracy. So, howto calculate the Fixedcostof BEP?
Again, Fixedcost:Labourcost (DirectandIndirect),Headoffice,Depreciationof machine &
equipment,land&building,paymentof patentandinterestandetc.
Andthese are allocatedwiththe standardtime asnext:
๐ฟ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘ก =

Anyway, one of seriousfactorwas the standardtime accuracy.
As I describedbefore,thiscompanyhasstandardtime systemandeach producthave the standard
time. However, the accuracyto actual time wasbad. Then,theyneededtoconfirmormodulate the
relevantproductsstandardtime.
But it wasquite clearthat undoingrelevantproductstointernal manufacturingismore profitable
withtentative figuresandBEP(Break-evenpoint)investigation.
Theyhad not solong-time grace (6months). Andtheyneededtoimplementfollowingitems:

1. Confirmationof standardtime;
2. Re-calculationof profitabilityinBEP;
3. Reportingtopresidentandgettinghisacceptance. (Standarddepartmental costwasnโ€™t
changedand used);
4. Line formation(layout,laboursandmachines,QC&inspection,materialsupply,supervising,
material procurement);
5. Reportingtocustomerswiththe qualityassurance system;
6. Work training;
7. Machine maintenance;
8. Informationtocustomerandplanningof undoing.
2) Imperial conference
Afterthe confirmationof the profitplanof those outsourcingproducts,the resultswere reportedto
the president.Withthroughthe meeting,the planwhichwasthe undoingof the productsandparts
was acceptedbythe president.
3) Small project for re-setupof productionlines.
The Gemba wasexcitedandgot lively,becausesome employeeshadbeenhavingthe concernof
losingjobforthe outsourcingpolicyandpastoutsourcing.
Thenmanagementteamandprojectteamhad a meetinganddecidedtoimplementthe stepof 8.
EstablishDevelopment&Managementsystemof ProductsandEquipmentof Nakajima's12steps
whichthiscompany'sfavorite.
Again,thisstepisto seek Developmentofproductsthat are easy to produce and machinesthat are
easy to use.
Of course,these undone productswerenotnew products,butexperiencedandwell-known
products.But I daredto recommendtoimplementthisstepforatrainingforfuture.
Again 12 steps: NAKAJIMA12 STEPS
To re-introduce theseproducts,Irecommendedtouse the technique of "Initial Products
QualityControl"andthe committee activity.
I describedInitialProductsQualityControlinTPM-1as next(FromTPM-1):
R&D? โ€ฆYes I will write the new productsdevelopmentin thearticle of Initial Products
QualityControland the Committee.
In theInitial ProductsQuality Control,I describethe committeeactivity which
includes Quality,Design engineering,Procurement,Productionengineering,Sales,
SubcontractControl,Human resources,Accounting & Financing,Production Control
and of course Maintenanceand Gemba forverticalstart-up to eliminate the lossesof
newproductsstartin Total PreventiveMaintenance.
And,the aim of thisactivityissame to JIPM's TPMand is: Developmentofproducts that are
easy to produce and machinesthat are easy to use.

As youcouldimagine,the activityof InitialProductsQualityControlisindeedcompanywide
activityisrequired.
Therefore, Iestablishacommittee,whenIleadit.Butit isalso a fact that itis requireda
certaincorporate capacity andthe history orexperience. Thus,itisnotpossible togain
sufficientresultfromthe firstandisrequired some certainexperience.
Unfortunately, thiscompanyisnotreachedtothisโ€œcertainlevelโ€.
Anyway,thiscompanydecidedtoreview the currentoutsourcingpolicyandundothe relevant
productsand work-in-progresstointernalproduction.Andthe productionGembawasexcitedafter
alongdays.
I will describe the activityof the project&committee andnew andtemporal projectof Initial
ProductsQualityControl (IPQC).
RegardingIPQC,(inmyteaching) itisthe range of TQM. Then I describe itinTPMveryshortlyand
give the deepdescriptioninTQM.
VI. Next Lecture

And,before thisperiodwhichis"WearFailure Period"comes,we mustmake effortstoextendthe "Accidental FailurePeriod"inwhichoperationisstablebyexchangingthe expendable partsand maintenance. In somewhereIhave writtenthata machine doesn'ttake age eventhoughtobe usedverylong years.Thisis one part of dialogue withmyoldToyotafriend.Whya machine doesn'ttake age? Because itis possible toexchangethe partwhere tobe damagedor worn.Andin the combinationof maintenance andKaizen,itispossible touse the machine inverylong"AccidentalFailurePeriod". I alsoexplainedthe conceptof tribology. I wrote before thatitis saidthat 60% occurrence of failuresinmovingpartsof machine are causedof the problemsof lubricants,includinglubricantsupply. Andwhenlookingthe machine failure inoverall machine,more than25% numberoccurred,more than 27% of machine stopandmore than30% of lossamountare causedof lubricanttroubles. Yes,lubricantcontrol isveryimportantandessential factorforTPM. However,itistrue that the systematicoilingisdisregarded. Whenvisitingandlookingatthe maintenance of machines,Ialwayscanfindthe lackof lubricant control conditionwhichare 5Ss of Oil storage,lackof oilingstandard(notcorrectand/orhackneyed), no keepingthe standard(eventhoughthe standardismade). 5Ss and maintenance room. In thisdescription,Ididn'twrite aboutthistheme.BecauseinsomewhereImighthave writtenit. But once again I askyou to implement5Ssina maintenance roomwhichisthe strongholdof maintenance activity. I introduce one episode. WhenI made a conference inacompany,Iwas requiredtomake a suggestionaboutKaizen.Their problemistopromote KaizeninGemba.Andone of questionwashow to systemizeKaizenactivity. ThenI taught 2 thingsand one isdata gatheringsystemandanotherone issuggestionscheme. One yearlateronce againI had an opportunitytovisitthiscompany.AndIcouldlookat the situation of Kaizenimplementation. However,itwasa miserable state.Ifoundthata suggestionbox became the nestof cockroach andthere were the discolouredpapersinit. Accordingto the managers,Kaizensuggestionsdon'tcome outasexpectedandthe voice of Gemba was thattheycannot come up withKaizenidea.Bythe waythiscompanywas inthe middle of TPM campaign.(Itherefore wasinvitedbythiscompany.) Thenwhenmakingfactory tour,we stoppedat the maintenance room.Itwasa chaoticarea. It wasanywaychaotic.Nude posters,toolsscattered, unreadable oil cansandoil servers,abottle of Coca-Colaโ€ฆAndparticularlyitwasdirty.Is maintenance roomadirtyplace in the first place?Theirexcuse wasthe use of oil andscatteringchips

Unreadable oil cansand oil servers,how cantheysupplycorrectoil incorrect position?And,thenI suggestedthe managerstocreate 10 thousandKaizensuggestionsinthismaintenance roominto implement5Ss. 10 thousandKaizenideas!?โ€ฆThe managerswere surprised.Andtheysaidthatitis impossible in unison.ButI toldthemas next: โ€• InKaizen(Kaizenideas) there are 3ranks. ๏‚ท Excellent(effecttothe Gemba);Bettereffecttobe expected; ๏‚ท Good (effecttoGemba);Also,bettereffecttobe expected; And, ๏‚ท The effecttobe betterthannothing. โ€• Whenyouimagine Kaizen,youalwaysexpectorimagine "ExcellentorGood".But it iswrong. Ratherthan the expectationof these,youshouldencourage the ideasof "Betterthannothing". โ€• 10 thousandideasinmaintenance room, itiseasy. โ€• Remove "Nude poster"withthe title of "Betterworkingenvironment".Then,itisone Kaizen suggestion. โ€• Decidingthe locationandcorrectputtingmethodforone tool.Thisisone Kaizensuggestion.

COVID-19 Before goingtothe theme,Iwould write aboutsome miscellaneousthoughts.Butdroppinginthe way.Therefore,nonecessarytoread,if youdonโ€™twant. In previousdescription,Ihave writtenthe JapaneseEraName. Thus,now the era name is "REWA". As I wrote before,since the Meijiera,the systemwaschangedtoone regionof Emperorand one era name.But before Meiji,eraname waschangedmore thanonce in same Emperorwhenoccurring disastersandepidemicsforplayingpeople'swell-beingandpeace. Unfortunately,fromthe beginningof thisnew eraname,Japanwas attackedanddamagedby big disastersandcurrentlyisbeenattackingthe epidemicof COVID. Thisepidemicisveryseriousandmore seriousthanrecentothersinclude the economical epidemic of Financial Crisisof Lehman. At the Lehman's,the worldfinancial systemwasdamagedandexpandedthe influencetoGemba. But thisCOVIDdirectlyattacked Gemba.Andall of Gembas,manufacturingsector,service sector, tourismsector,andall of office Gembaswere attacked.Andthisdisasterinfluence wouldbe continuinglongterm(more than3 yearsin a passage). Afterthisdisaster(no,duringthisdisaster),somethingof social systemwouldbe changedinthe worlddramatically. Whenlookingatthe world history,suchdisasterbecame the triggerof social change. For instance,andaccordingto a historybook,there wasa miserable disasterat14th century,in Europa.Yes, itis plague (BlackDeath). Andthisepidemicof plague killedmore than25millionpeople inEuropa. And,afterthisdisaster,the Reformationwashappened.Also,The Renaissancewhich ignitedpeople's"innerconsciousness"withculture andartraised. Thisis relatedtothe fact that the nation,religion,andculture atthe time could not cope withmass deaths,andprovesthat the unprecedenteddisastercausedsocial change.Inthisbookthere wasa wordwhichis "mementomori1 โ€. At that time (14th centuryinEuropa),people feltadeathclosely,because citiesoverflowedwith corpses. And, thisโ€œmementomoriโ€became atriggerof social change. Nowagainthisword wasclose by the personswhoare oldpersonsand/orthe personswhohave underlyingmedical problemseventhoughpeopledonโ€™tknow thisword. It mightneverreachthe deathtoll to be same level asthe plague of 14 centuryinEuropa. But we feel deathcloselybecause of dailynewswithinternet. We sawthe scenesof Wuhan hospital,Italy,UK.Also,we saw the scene of refrigeratortrucksof corpsesinNewYork,vast burial groundinBrazil. Andbecause of the improvementof Internet,we are incircumstancesof lookingandfeelingdeathinevitably.Thisimpactmightbe same tothe epidemicof BlackDeath. 1 Memento mori. Memento Mori is a Latin phrasethat means "don't forget to die(someday)" or "don't forget death". Widely used as a motif in art works.

Many times,Iwrote that ina decade workingcircumstanceswouldchange dramatically.However,it mightbe true that thisCOVIDhasthe powerof acceleratingthe changingsociety. A.Acceleration of Telework Unfortunately,the trendof telework orremote workof Office-Gembamightaccelerate. There are goodpointsandbad points. For instance,howaboutOnline learning?โ€ฆOnlinelearningalsowillhave the citizenshipinthe world. However, thismethodalsohasbothsides. I thinkOnline learningisnotasuitable educationforchildren,eventhoughitisnecessaryasan emergencycountermeasure.Because the teachingwiththroughinternetisbiasedtoteachjust knowledge (Leftware2 inbrain). Butthisisbecause the awarenessandlearningthatarisesfromthe existence of aplace calledschool shouldalsobe important.Learningaboutplantsandinsectsonthe screenof a computerdoesnotgive childrenanideaof nature.Justas itis necessarytoputchildren ina natural place to knownature,the place of school cannot be replacedonline.Anditisnot possible tobringupthe rich sensitivityandemotion(Rightware). Production-Gembaand Office-Gemba. We notice thatsome jobsare suitable forteleworkandsome are not.Of course,teleworkingcannot be appliedtomanufacturingsites,face-to-face service industries,andtransportation-relatedwork. The same goesforpublicservicessuchaspolice office,firedepartmentsandessentialworking Gembasuch hospitals,nursing,childcare etc. On the otherhand,evenwithinthe company,teleworkislikelytobe establishedinajob system whichemployeescantake onthe task as a contract business.Fromnow on,the style of workthat shouldbe calledaโ€œcraftsmanโ€ that surelyrealizeshis/hercontractedworkmaybe increase rapidly. Again,businessform&type will change veryrapidly,because of the improvementof ICTandthe acceleratedwithsuchpandemic. Teleworkmaybe a goodtrend.But I like the formof small grouptelework(satelliteofficework) rather thansingle home telework. 2 Leftware & Rightware: Concepts associated to Left and Right brain hemisphererespectively, explained in Factory Management I lecture: https://archive.org/details/FactoryManagement1TheCorporateConstitutionAndManagementFramework https://archive.org/details/GestinDeFFbrica1 Videos: eeOS How to build the enterprise excellence Operating System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFoQoBkBjV4.

How can we cope within suchhecticcircumstances? โ€ฆInsuch an era,we have no choice but to jointlycreate andaccumulate whatwe can trust andbelieve,andwhatwe reallywanttoprotect. Insteadof protectingthe traditional corporate form, we willcreate aformof laborthat can be serious.One of importantformisto coexistwithnature,societyandpeople.We have tointeract withpeople tocreate a newcommonworld.Of course,how to maintaincontactwithpeople mustbe carefullyconsidered.Butourspiritcan't be shutup.Rather thanshuttingdown inan attemptto protectthe existingsociety,we stepforwardtointroduce anew society. What isneedednowis the above kindof spirit. B. Troubles & problems How we can promote Kaizen?โ€ฆNewideaof Kaizenis the implementationof awarenesswhichisable to be perceivedin Rightware.Anditisnot possible tobringupthe sensitivityinnovisiting Gemba. Andit isthe meaningof deteriorationof Kaizenmind.Meetinginteleworkandisolatedwork become popular.But(forinstance) ameetingrequirestocreate a variousopinion.Thentelework meetingisrequiredthe methodstocomplementthisdeficiency.The opportunityof makingidle talk will decrease.Of course,PChasthe functionof Chat.But itis requiredtomake face-to-facechat.Idle talkis one of vitaminforjob. I have writteninFactoryManagement-1aboutthe importance of using Rightware forthe job. Nowteleworkisone of bigtrend.Anditpromotesthe jobstyle whichcanbe done anywhere with minimumcondition(circumstancesof ICT).Anditcan give the opportunityof bringingup Rightware, if it ispossible tochoose the suitable place (suchbeautiful countryside).Onthe otherhand, unfortunatelyhomeworkingandisolatedworkingstylewill increase.Andinthese cases,telework may be the cause of disturbingGembaKaizen. A Psychiatristsoundsthe alarmonhome teleworkaboutthe mentalityequilibriumsense C. World chaos ThisCOVDpandemichasthe powerof causingthe chaotic worldof century. Andthisdisclosed(or nowstill isdisclosing)the social contradictionswhichare social disparity,incomeinequality,gap betweenrichandpoor,racism,egoof the large countries,reactionof globalism&populism, domesticfirstprincipal,exclusionism.Thesewere coveredwhenthe economywaswell byit.But whenthe economywasdestroyedinthe world,potential inconvenienttruthswere revealed. We are in an era where we donotknow what will happenandhow we will develop.New virusesmay occur repeatedly.Andthe secondwave of COVIDmightbe strongeranddangerthanfirst. Ego of large countries At present(unfortunately)the situationisnoworldleader.Forinstance,G7or G20 fell intoa dysfunction.While the noworldleaderwill progressinthe future,there isnodoubtthat international cooperationwillbe weakenedandgeopolitical conflictswill increase.

Let's lookat one by one. 1) According to the application; & 2) Use clean and correct lubricating oil; โ€ฆ I introducednexttable: Lubrication Oil (From the Website of Japanese Lubricating Oil Company) Type Purpose SpindleOil Spindle oil is generally used in high speed rotating parts such as light load machines, small electric motors, and spinning machines. The characteristic oil is that it has low viscosity and low load. DynamoOil Spindle oil Dynamo oil is mainly used for large motors, generators, blowers and ventilators that rotate at high speed. Turbine Oil Used for lubrication of high-speed bearing parts of various turbines. It is also used for lubrication of hydraulically operated parts of various machines such as compresors. There are two types of turbine oil: non added turbine oil and added turbine oil. Unadded turbine oil is characterized by excellent water separation. On the other hand, added turbine oil is characterized by its excellent oxidation stability, de properties, rust prevention and water separation. MachineOil Machine oils are widely used among lubricating oils and are characterized by that they contain no additives. Generally used as lubricating oil for bearing rotating friction parts of various machines. One of the features is that the varies depending on the type of crude oil. Lubricants are classified into normal grade lubricants. CylinderOil Cylinder oil is mainly used for cylinders and valves of steam engines. Cylinder oil has a high viscosity and is used as an oil for parts with high temperatures and loads. Gear Oil Gear oils are mainly used in various gears as lubricants for reducing friction and cooling of reduction gears such as general machinery and rolling mills. There is a type with an extreme pressure agent added and a type with no additive. Extreme pressure agent added type is added with abrasion resistance and seizure resistance. On the other hand, the characteristics of the extreme pressure agent free type are excellent in oxidation stability, water separation, defoaming and rust prevention. Bearing Oil As the name implies. bearing oil is used for lubricating the bearings of machines. Has |rust prevention properties that prevent rust. CompressorOil Compressor oil is used for lubrication of compressor cylinders and bearings. Types a divided into reciprocating type and screw type. It is characterized by extremely low carbon generation and excellent oxidation stability and rust prevention. The screw type is also characterized by excellent oxidation stability, rust prevention and water separation SlidingSurface Oil Sliding surface oil is commonly used to lubricate sliding guideways on machine tool the types of sliding surface oil are classified into those that are dedicated to guideway and those that are also used as hydraulic oil. It features excellent resistance t vibration phenomena generated on the sliding surface. rust prevention, and oxidation stability. Refrigerator MachineOil Refrigerator oil is mainly used for lubrication of refrigerators. When mineral oil-based lubricating oil is cooled, the minimum temperature at which it flows is low. So, it is characterized by good stability to refrigerants such as ammonia. Refrigerator oils are divided into mineral oils and synthetic oils such as alkylbenzenes. HydraulicOil The hydraulic oil is based on turbine oil and contains additives. It is used as hydraulic oil for hydraulic media and hydraulic pumps. Generally, hydraulic oils are characterized by low viscosity. It is also characterized by excellent oxidation stability, water separation, defoaming, and rust prevention. In addition, there are types that exhibit viscosity. temperature characteristics. wear resistance. fire resistance. etc., so

The types of hydraulic oils include general hydraulic oils of the R & O type. low pour point oils with high viscosity index. wear resistant fluids, and flame-retardant oils 3) Oilinginto mouth decided; Omit.Please,lookatthe instructionmanual. 4) At the timingdecided. It isimportantto share when"whennecessary",butforthatpurpose itisnecessarytoset the oilingcycle. Normally,itshouldbe setitbyreferringtothe instructionmanual,butif itisnot listedinthe instructionmanual,itshouldbe reasonablydecidedthe standardand thendecidedbytrial and error.In that case,I thinkitis bettertoset itwhile checkingthe conditionof the oil film of the lubricatingoil.Inthiscase,settingalittle shorterthanthe possible cycle andgradually lengtheningthiscycle willpreventthe riskof "outof oil". Of course,timelyoilingnotonlyinvolvesdecidingthe cycle andsupplyingthe lubricatingoil at that time,but"it isnecessarytoreliablyperformoilingandinspectionatthe beginningof everyday." Andit isrequiredtoimplementthe "scientificexperience". 5) Just quantity decided. Suitable amountof lubricantsupplyisrequired. Becausetoomuchor toolittle oil quantity can cause poorlubrication. ๏‚ท If too much: This maycause oil leakage,ordependingonthe lubricationmethod,the deteriorationof oil mayleadtoa decrease inviscosityandcause poorlubrication. ๏‚ท If too little:Anoil filmwill notbe formedonthe frictionsurface,causing"galling"or "burning". The appropriate amountof lubricationisdetermined accordingtothe slidingparts,rotating parts of the equipment,movementconditionsandlubricationmethod. Determined!?โ€ฆDeterminedinthe instructionmanual? โ€ฆNo,Ihavenโ€™tseensuchconvenient descriptioninit. Unfortunately, itisnecessarytodetermine byyourself eventhoughsuchdataisin the instructionmanual. CirculationlubricationandTotal losslubrication The lubrication method variesgreatly depending on whethercirculation is to reduce friction or wearor lubrication forcooling. In thecase of "Total loss type"lubrication,it is sufficientto supply the amountof supply necessary foroptimallubrication activity,and in the case of the "Circulation type",it is sufficientto supply the amountof lubrication based on thecooling effect.

How to decide the suitablequantity? โ€ฆThe formulaforthe amountof lubricationisshown belowforreference.The calculationformuladiffersdependingonthe type of lubrication point,souse the appropriate calculationformula.However,Itisimpossible toaccurately obtainthe requiredamountof lubricationwithusingthe calculationformula. Thisis because of dependingonvariousconditionssuchasbearingmaterial,surface roughness,rotationspeed,load,operatingconditions,ambienttemperature,andtype of lubricatingoil,seal condition,new machine,ormachine used. Thenfinallyyouneedtodecide itbasedonscientificexperience (tryandinvestigationand record) The "ManagementGuideforLubrication"publishedbythe JapanManagementAssociationis definedasfollows. "If you give the necessary oil film between the two sliding surfacesfirst,then you can replenish the amountof leakagefromtheshaftend to obtain good lubrication performance." It recommendsto"determinetherequired amountof lubrication in advanceusing a calculation formula and determinethe amountof lubrication with referenceto the amount and experiencevaluesafter machinetrial operation".

Thiswas strange,because some managersdidnโ€™tknow the BEP.Itwasfatal because managersdonโ€™t knowBEP. It isneverthe situationforjustthiscompany,butunfortunatelyisgeneral.

My previouscompanymakesthe new employeesโ€™ educationasastandard whichmightnot be a worldwidestandard.And,inthiseducation,accountingincludingBEPismade. The projectleader(She isanaccountingstaff.) made the lecture tootherteammembersandGemba supervisors.Atthattime the outsourcingproductswere usedasthe examplesof BEPwithactual figures. Andof course, theyfoundandunderstoodthatthe outsourcingpolicywaswrongandinternal manufacturingwithcurrentlabourandmachine capacitywasmuch betterprofitable.Also,itwas requiredthe salesamountincrease andthe efficiencyincrease (tosupportthe salesincrease). Thentheyconfirmedthe directionwhichis"JITmachine condition"ismatchto the company's concern. Problem Whendiscussingit,one difficultywas highlightedagain.Itwasthe issue of standardtime accuracy. So, howto calculate the Fixedcostof BEP? Again, Fixedcost:Labourcost (DirectandIndirect),Headoffice,Depreciationof machine & equipment,land&building,paymentof patentandinterestandetc. Andthese are allocatedwiththe standardtime asnext: ๐ฟ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘ก = ๐‘‚๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘’ ๐‘ฅ ๐‘†๐ป ( ๐‘†๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘ ๐ป๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘š๐‘’) ๐‘’๐‘“๐‘“๐‘–๐‘๐‘–๐‘’๐‘›๐‘๐‘ฆโ„ ๐‘‚๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘“๐‘–๐‘ฅ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘ก = ๐ท๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘™ ๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘–๐‘ก ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘ก ๐‘ฅ ๐‘†๐ป ๐‘’๐‘“๐‘“๐‘–๐‘๐‘–๐‘’๐‘›๐‘๐‘ฆโ„ And, ๐ท๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘™ ๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘–๐‘ก ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘ก = ๐‘‡๐‘œ๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘™ ๐‘œ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘“๐‘–๐‘ฅ๐‘’๐‘‘ ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘ก ๐‘ฅ ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘๐‘ข๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘”๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘’ ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘ ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘’๐‘  Anyway, one of seriousfactorwas the standardtime accuracy.
