Re: Boss passed away left his son the shop. I need help.
hello i have seen shop owners in such a situation, like having a functionall machine that is no longer used, because no one knows how to handle it ( machinist retired or quit, etc )
i tell them to bring him back, or find another one that works on such machines, and:
... record his procedures : start up, setup, origins, corections, restarts, program load, etc : this is only a few hours
... make a part that covers all machine capabilites ( or at least those used by the machinist ), record program creation, print program, and store it : one day or more, depending on machine complexity
... perhaps convince him to share a few tricks, warkarounds, etc
... all recorded data to be stored near the machine ( so that someone that has no clue, but wants to learn, should find all these pretty fast ), and also in other places
is possible to categorize an entire activity into simple few actions, then make clear procedures for those actions; being busy has no corelation with the number of different actions performed / kindly
