Operator-driven
Inspection
In some organizations,
the best choice for such an
inspector is the machine
operator. is is the person
who works near the machines
and is sometimes in front of
the machines eight to 12 hours
a day. Because of this, many
operators can recognize subtle
differences between normal
and abnormal conditions. is
is often referred to as opera-
tor-driven inspection (ODI)
and is preferred by numerous
organizations, such as those
that rigorously follow the
principles of total productive
maintenance (TPM).
