To increase output and meet customers' needs, companies have turned to the development of production management systems: Kaizen, one piece flow, Kanban, etc. The aim of such systems is to accelerate decisions, react to environmental issues and manage various productions. In the main, this type of management system has led to the continuous improvement of production performance. Consequently, such production management systems can have unexpected negative effects on operators' health and safety. Conversely, regulation and control systems focusing on work-related risks have obliged firms to implement health and safety management systems such as OHSAS 18001. The purpose of this type of system, also based on continuous improvement, is to reduce risks, facilitate work-related activities and identify solutions in terms of equipment and tools. However, the prevention actions introduced through health and safety systems often result in other unexpected and unwanted effects on production. This paper shows how companies can improve the way they are run by taking into account both types of management system.
为了提高产量和满足客户的需求,企业纷纷转向开发生产管理系统:如 Kaizen、单件流、看板等。这些系统的目的是加速决策、应对环境问题并管理各种生产。在主要方面,这种管理系统已经导致了生产性能的持续改进。因此,这种生产管理系统可能会对操作人员的健康和安全产生意想不到的负面影响。相反,注重工作相关风险的法规和控制系统迫使企业实施职业健康安全管理体系,如 OHSAS 18001。这种系统的目的也是基于持续改进,旨在降低风险、方便工作相关活动并确定设备和工具方面的解决方案。然而,通过职业健康安全系统引入的预防措施往往会对生产产生其他意想不到和不想要的影响。本文展示了企业如何通过同时考虑这两种管理系统来改善其运营方式。
