48: Identify the cause of abnormal noise

"What should we do? When can we find out which process step has the problem?" Wang Shengjun said, rubbing his hands and frowning.

"What else can we do? We'll rework it after the Technology Department finds the problem." Qi Qingan said dejectedly.

"It seems our management is still not up to par, otherwise, there wouldn't be a problem." Wang Shengjun was very self-reproachful.

"Uncle Wang, don't say that. This isn't a management problem of yours, it must be a problem with a certain process step." Liu Xiaolin comforted him.

"Yes, Deputy Factory Director Wang, don't blame yourself. If anyone is responsible, it's me. I'm in charge of the workshop, and I also did the training. I didn't do well enough." Qi Qingan said gloomily.

"No one needs to take the blame. When a problem arises, solve the problem. There's no need to rush to take responsibility." Liu Xiaolin said calmly.

"General Manager Liu, the semi-finished products from the first process step have been checked, and there are no problems at all." Minister Tan Qilin came to report after checking the first process step.

"Okay, then start checking the semi-finished products from the second process step." Liu Xiaolin replied.

"We are currently checking. We started checking the semi-finished products from these several process steps at the same time, and the results should come out one after another." Minister Tan Qilin said.

"Okay, you don't need to be too anxious. Be careful during the inspection and don't miss any key points." Liu Xiaolin said.

Although Liu Xiaolin was the youngest, he was the calmest when facing problems.

"General Manager Liu, there's no problem with the semi-finished products from the second process step."

"Continue checking the rest."

"General Manager Liu, the previous several process steps have all been checked, and there are no problems. Now only the last process step and the second to last process step are left to be checked."

"Okay, these two process steps are the most critical. Be sure to start checking from the details." Liu Xiaolin reminded them.

At this time, Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong and Jiao Chaoyang also came to the workshop after hearing the news, and everyone waited anxiously for the inspection results.

"If we can't find the reason and delay production for a few days, it will delay delivery. Then we won't be able to remit payment on time, which will also affect payments to suppliers." Jiao Chaoyang said with a grim expression.

"The newly purchased raw materials should be fine this time, but today we received a batch of small parts from old inventory. I wonder if it's related to this." Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong suddenly remembered a problem.

"Ah? Do you know which process this small part is used in?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"It seems to be used in the second to last process step! We received newly purchased parts yesterday and the day before yesterday. Today, I thought about consuming the inventory first, so I issued this batch of inventory to them." Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said.

"Now we just have to wait for the Quality Inspection Department to provide the result of which process step has the problem, then we'll know if there's a problem with this batch of inventory parts." Liu Xiaolin said.

"Also, if there are no problems with the previous several process steps, the workshop can arrange for the workers on those steps to start production first. This way, we can save time and ensure timely delivery." Liu Xiaolin said to Qi Qingan.

"Okay, I'll arrange for the workers on the previous several process steps to start production now." Qi Qingan agreed and went to call some workers to resume production.

"I'll also go over and arrange things." Wang Shengjun was afraid that Qi Qingan couldn't handle it alone, so he quickly followed to help.

"General Manager Liu, we've found the reason. There's a problem with the second to last process step." Minister Tan Qilin ran over and said.

"What's going on? Why wasn't the problem discovered during the initial inspection?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"It's like this: a small part in the second to last process step isn't a perfect match for our new engine model. This caused an abnormal noise and a regular clicking sound after the engine was finished. It wasn't found during the initial inspection because the initial inspection for this process step is a simple check, based only on surface appearance and overall structure, and doesn't go into detail to check the compatibility of every single part." Minister Tan Qilin explained.

"Then quickly notify the workshop to return today's inventory parts to the warehouse and get newly purchased parts instead. Then rework the engines with abnormal noise at the second to last process step. After reworking, randomly check several engines for trial run to ensure the abnormal noise issue is eliminated." Liu Xiaolin immediately arranged and deployed the subsequent work.

"It seems it was the problem with that small part I mentioned. It's not just because it was inventory, but because it's incompatible. Then I'll quickly go back to the warehouse to prepare the new parts." Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong was also a man of action; he left after speaking.

Liu Xiaolin was much more relaxed at this moment. As long as the problem was found, it would be easy to solve.

Reworking the second to last process step wasn't too troublesome.

Everything wasn't that bad yet.

Liu Xiaolin let out a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, thankfully, the delay wasn't too long.

After Qi Qingan finished arranging the work for the previous several process steps, he returned here. Hearing that it was caused by incompatible parts, he also felt relieved.

If it's rework, it should still be quite fast.
