Definition of Direct Labor

All DPWF operations are encrypted in the Time range of the product.

1.1 Example of operations providing direct Added Value :

Shaping	Assembly	Finishing
Bending	Screwing	Painting
Milling	Assembly	Deburring
Molding	Clipping	De-coring
Cutting	Welding	Polishing

1.2 Example of operations not providing direct Added Value to the product:

• Timed frequency operations necessary for the proper functioning of the tool (regular cleaning of a mold, frequency lubrication of a tool, etc.).
• Loading and unloading a machine.
• Controls and alterations carried out in the production flow by the production operators, these are the regular checks and alterations.
• Manual supply by the operator of his workstation from a stock area near the workstation. This operation does not involve large handling equipment such as forklift trucks.
• Rest time allocated to operators when creating the range from timed or evaluated times in predetermined time.
• Waiting time for the operator during which the operator is not working but is required to remain at the post. This time must be identified to make it tend towards zero.
• Operations of an installation operator assigned to one or more automatic machines performing regular tasks necessary for the proper functioning of the installation:
  • Supply
  • Evacuation
  • Sample control

These operations are not own manufacturing actions, we will seek by optimization methods (TPM, 5S, SMED …) to minimize them, these optimization actions will be counted in this same DLU.

2.1 RETOUCHINGS

• Touch-up operation not planned in the range and not carried out by a permanent retoucher budgeted in ME (see definition of ME in § 3). These are irregular touch-ups that correct a process failure.

2.2 SELF-MAINTENANCE

• 1st level maintenance
• Cleaning of his workstation
• and / or the workshop

2.3 ADJUSTMENT

• Setting to the initial conditions carried out by the machine operator
• Change of reference.

2.4 HANDLING

• Handling operation delegated to operators.
• Handling between two positions in the same division.

2.5 GROUPS OF PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENT WORK

• Participation in working groups (reduction of scrap, improvement of working conditions, TPM, 5S projects, improvement of flows, reduction of tool change times, quality improvement work, etc.).
• Carrying out improvement work by the operators (5S or TPM approach, physical realization of suggestions, etc.).

2.6 INFORMATION

• Participation in information meetings (kiosk animation, local conventions, various information).

2.7 WORKSTATION TRAINING

• Staff used as a trainer (training of a new hire, training following a change of position, etc.)
• Staff in training at their workstation (versatility, polycompetence).

2.8 EXTERNAL TRAINING

Staff in training external to the UTA (this may be training provided by an organization external to the company or organized by a company department).

2.9 SOCIAL

• Delegation (DP, CE, CHSCT, unions, elections, etc.)
• Social and cultural activity (ASC)
• Invitation to interviews (periodic individual interview, return from illness, sanction, etc.)
• medical / infirmary visit
• showers
• 1st day of work accident

2.10 MANAGEMENT

• computer inputs (activity, presence, encoding of manufacturing, etc.)
• update of UTA dashboards

The DLA includes all the uncontrolled activities that the plant undergoes, these actions are productivity “waste”, hazards and dysfunctions.

• machine, tool, flow malfunctions
• launch costs

3.1 ALEAS – MALFUNCTIONS

• Machine tool and / or peripheral breakdowns
• Under performance machines, tools and / or peripherals
• Upstream rupture / downstream flow blockage
• Yield not kept by the operator
• Use of degraded processes to remedy internal failures or malfunctions.
• Additional DL whose cause is not identified

3.2 START-UP COSTS

(the costs declared must be sorted and assigned to a product in launch in order to identify the launch costs by project)

• Provisional mock-up awaiting final modification of the part.
• Use of degraded processes (compared to the CAPM range) while waiting for a definitive means.
• DL deviation linked to the launch of a new production (underperformance, unplanned alterations in the range, ramp-up, etc.).
• Training related to the acquisition of new jobs (trainer and trained).
