Don’t Let There Be Muda on the Floor
勿让地板浪费成为家常便饭


There are better solutions for floor marking than paint
与地板涂装比较而言，地板标记有更好的解决方案

(InSite Solutions: Wake Forest, NC) -- One of the key objectives of lean initiatives is to identify waste, or muda, and it can be found in almost any action that takes place in a facility. Every employee should be educated about identifying muda in their daily workflow, to maximize improvements in overall operational efficiency.
（操作解决方案：维克森林，数控）--精益倡导的主要目标之一就是鉴定浪费，工厂发生的任何行动几乎都存在浪费。每位员工都应在他们的日常工作流程中培训鉴别浪费，使在整体的运营效率中改善达到最大化。


Every industrial facility that uses indoor vehicles such as forklifts are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to mark aisles and passageways for the safety of pedestrians. OSHA requires the aisle marking to remain in place for the lifetime of the facility. Let’s take a look at how the method used for creating and maintaining highly visible floor markings could be causing wasted materials and wasted manpower, considering OSHA’s floor marking requirement is not likely to change.
为了行人的安全，使用叉车之类的室内工具的每个工业工厂都被职业安全和健康管理局（OSHA）都被要求标记过道和走廊。OSHA要求过道标记在工厂的生命周期内到位。考虑到地板标记要求不可能改变，让我们来看看用于创造和维持高度清晰可见的地板标记的方法如何会造成物料浪费和人员冗余。

Aisles and passageways are commonly marked with paint. Paint doesn’t adhere well to concrete, so the floor must usually be prepped by bead blasting or etching to rough up the surface so that the paint will have something to grab.
过道和通道常常用油漆标记。油漆不能很好的粘附牢固，因此，地板通常必须通过水珠爆破或蚀刻预备以使表面破坏，因此油漆也会有可粘附之地。

To create a nice clean line to delineate a walkway, two stripes of tape are applied to create a template for the paint. Multiple coats of paint are applied, allowing dry time after each coat. Often production must be shut down to allow the paint to dry completely. The entire process could take a few days, and so the cost of the loss of production should be factored into the overall cost of using paint for the markings. Then the tape borders must be removed as well.
为了制作一道精致干净的分界线来勾勒出过道，需要两道胶带来创建一个油漆的模版。需要多层油漆，每层油漆又要干燥时间。通常生产必须关闭以允许油漆彻底干燥。整个过程会话好几天，因此生产损失成本应考虑到使用油漆作标记的整个成本中去。然后，胶带边远地区也必须移除掉。

When the area is open again to traffic, the markings are subjected to constant traffic and the abuse of the indoor vehicles. Paint doesn’t hold up well under these conditions. I’ve seen painted lines get blackened within a day. The markings will constantly need to be repainted to maintain highly visible walkways. Basically the entire process has to be repeated.
当区域再次对交通开放时，标记会受不停的室内车辆交通和滥用限制。在这些条件下，油漆不能很好地承受住。我见过一天之内油漆线变得模糊。标记需要不同地重新油漆以位置高度清晰的走道。基本上，整个过程不得不再现。

If there was an alternative method of creating a marking that would eliminate the bead blasting floor prep, the shut down time, the tape removal, all while creating a marking that lasted longer and required less frequent maintenance, then we could easily say that using paint for floor marking is wasteful.
当创建一个持续更久和无需更多不停地维护的标记时，如果有一种创建一个标记的可替代性方法，这种方法不需水珠爆破地板准备，关机时间，胶带移除，那么我们可以轻而易举地说使用地板标准涂装是浪费的。

Fortunately there is an alternative, and that is using a heavy duty floor marking tape to stripe the floors and create the walkways. There is no prep work other than alcohol mopping the floor, and no production shut down is required. The floor can be open to traffic immediately after application. If you make sure to get the highest quality floor tape, then the stripe will last for a long time. The highest grade floor tape features beveled edges and a recessed adhesive system. The beveled edges create a “ramp” effect, allowing traffic to be directed up and over the line. Because the adhesive is recessed away from the edge, the traffic never touches the adhesive, and the tape remains intact for longer periods of time.
幸运地是，有这样一种方法，那就是使用重型地板标记胶带来描绘地板和创建过道。比起酒精擦拭地板，无需预备工作，无需生产关闭。应用之后，地板立即可以对交通开放。倘若你确保使用高品质的地板胶，那么胶带条纹会保持很长一段时间。高质量的地板胶以有斜面边缘和一个壁凹胶合剂系统为特征。斜面边缘创造一个斜坡效应，允许交通运输在线上被管理。因为粘合剂从边缘凹进，交通绝不会接触到胶合剂，胶带很长一段时间保持完好无损。

Heavy duty floor marking tape is completely different than standard vinyl floor marking tapes. Beware of thin vinyl floor tape because it isn’t durable, and when it needs to be replaced, it is very difficult to remove. Vinyl floor tape doesn’t have a recessed adhesive and is prone to tearing. Because standard vinyl floor tape cannot hold up to traffic and is difficult to remove, using this type of tape is another example of muda.
重型地板标记胶带完全和标准乙烯基地板标记胶带不同。注意薄的乙烯基地板胶，因为，它不耐用，而且当需要更换时，很难割掉。乙烯基地板胶没有壁凹粘合剂和容破裂。因为标准乙烯基地板胶 不能经受交通运输之碾和很难移除，使用此种胶带又是另一个浪费之举。

Lean initiatives strive to identify muda in every possible situation. Waste can be found in almost any process. When it comes to floor marking, consider the waste that can be incurred not only in the initial installation, but in the long term maintenance of the floor marking. There may be significant gains in efficiency to be realized.
精益目标力求在每种可能的情况下鉴别浪费。浪费几乎随处可见。当涉及到地板标记时，考虑到初期装机还有地板标记的长期维护可能引发的浪费。也许在效率上，我们可以实现更大的获益
