ECRS ,that is Eliminate,Combine,Rearrange,Simplify

Eliminate:Achieve what?Is it neccessary?

Combine:If you could not cancel the job,you could consider corporate with other jobs.

Rearrange:Rerrange for the job order.

Simplify:Simplify the job content and steps.

Based on 5W1H , you could find the improving direction of Process Flow,make a new idea and working method to take place of working method.Use ECRS,that is Eliminate,Combine,Rearrange,Simplify to help people find a better effect and proccess flow method.

The specific content of ECRS

1.Eliminate

First consider whether the work the possibility of cancellation. If the research work, process, operation can be canceled without affecting the quality and assembly of the progress of semi-finished products, this is the most effective improvements. For example, unnecessary procedures, handling, inspection, etc., should be abolished, with particular attention to high-volume assembly operations that work; if not abolished, in part, be considered canceled. For example, from the factory to manufacture into outsourcing, which in fact is also a cancellation and improved.

Specific operation

* Cancel all the extra steps or actions (including the body, limbs, hand and eye movements);
* To reduce the irregularity of work, such as location of the tool fixed to form a habit of mechanical movement, etc.;
Cancel or reduce as far as possible * to use hands, such as grip, handling, etc.;
* Cancel awkward or unnatural movement is not smooth;
* Minimize the use of all muscle forces;
* To reduce inertia and momentum to overcome;
* To prevent dangerous actions and risks of a concept;
* In addition to the necessary rest, the abolition of work all the personnel and equipment idle time.

2.Combine

Combie means  make two or above become one.For example proccess flow or proccess flow combination.It will be reduce the Duplication and achieve a perfect effect.When there is unbalanced among process flow,it need to adjust and combine with this proccess flow.

Specific oporation

* Merge multiple mutations in the direction of movement, form a single continuous movement direction;
* Fixed the machine operation cycle, and to work can be completed in one cycle;
* Implementation tool of the merger, the merger control and movement combined.

3.Rearrange

Rearrange means recombine with each other through change working proceed to achieve the goal of improving job.

Specific oporation

To balance the workload of both hands, and at the same time, mutual symmetry;
* To make the transfer by the hand to the eye.

4.Simplify

After cancellation, merger, reorganization, the longer the work further more in-depth analysis and research, so as to simplify the current method to reduce the maximum working time and improve efficiency. Simplification is a process of improvement, but also local area omitted, the omission of the entire range is canceled.

Specific operation

* The basis of the work can be completed using the smallest muscle groups, and attention to the intermittent use of rhythm;
Reduce the scope * with the zoom eye search times;
* To work can be completed in the normal region without moving the body;
* Make range of motion decreases;
* To handle, levers, pedals, buttons and other controllers suitable for human body size and performance;
* In need of high intensity muscle strength Department, with the energy of inertia to get help;
* Use the simplest possible movement combinations;
* To reduce the complexity of each action, especially in a position of more than action.
