By combining low cost common technologies, noise levels can be measured very accurately at low cost.Once detected accurately improvement is greatly simplified. Types of technology are Cell phones Video Music recording hard ware. Six Sigma and lean manufacturing principles. Software applications. Predictive and Preventive maintenance principles. Noise is a symptom of an inefficient process. The same methods that improve efficiency are also used to reduce noise levels, and keep them low. These are 5S Employee Involvement Visual Controls Problem solving - Six Sigma Predictive Maintenance. What...

The book is intended for persons who have a noise problem, want to know what is causing the noise, and where it comes from. Once this is known most maintenance persons will be able to work out how to eliminate the problem. 10 years ago I started using laptop computers and good quality microphones to detect and eliminate noise hazards. The price of the instrument was measured in the thousands of dollars. 5 Years ago I started using video technology to overcome some of the limitations of walking around with a laptop. Now smartphones will do most of what I was doing 10 years ago with expensive...

Writing standard Operating procedures can be problematic. I recently was involved in writing operating procedures for 30 machines. The process was more difficult than it needed to. There were a number of interested parties each who wanted input into the SOP.Each Dept seemed to have its own Silo or empire After completing the task I looked for existing publications on how to write SOP and what should be in them.There were none that I could find useful. I started from the ground and determined what should be in an SOP. Safety, record keeping, start up, monitoring product safety quality,...

This is a practical book on how to reduce environmental noise issues. It is based on a form of narrow band analysis I have been successfully using for 10 years. Technology has decreased the cost of doing this and made it very simple to apply--If you know how

This book compares the common principles of the USA Constitution, Training Within Industry, and the approach of Donald Trump with the Top Down Management style of the -Washington Establishment- The Principles of The Constitution, T.W.I. and Trump can be described as the -Chaos Theory- which states that if the broad ideas and structure are correct order will naturally arise from Chaos provided people are free to complete the details. Top Down Management believes that without a highly structured system with clear rules that are enforced chaos will arise. Top down management styles are found in...
