How many Elsmar Covers does it take to change a light bulb?

[SteelMaiden]

Am I the only one here who is now SERIOUSLY concerned about the mental state of some fellow Covers?

Yes. The rest of us have given it up as a lost cause.

How about a lessons learned from this? Is there a possiblity that another bulb, somewhere else in the facility can also go out? What's the mean time between failures, shouldn't we replace them all before they go out?

My concern is that this is indicative of a total breakdown of our PM system.

And, in keeping with our policies of "greening" shouldn't we research the options of using compact flourescent vs. incandesent? Or, are there other options available? LED?

If the light bulb keeps burning out, should we consider using a heavy bulb instead?

So you are the nutcase that resurected this oldie but goody - I forgot about this one...

Who is in charge of issuing the SCAR to our light bulb supplier? How the heck did they make it through the supplier approval process anyway?

I think we need to do a site audit!

 

[SteelMaiden]

from the stats as of right now, it looks like 3719 to view the process, 66 to actually be involved, and perhaps one or two to actually get the job done (if you don't include purchasing, receiving, and incoming inspection).

 

[CarolX]

Did anyone check to see how long the bulb was in stores, was there any deteriation (sp)? Were the storage condition correct? Was FIFO used when the bulb was issued?

(I think I need a break)

 

[Dean Frederickson]

Can someone do a PFMEA so we can avoid changing light bulbs, please.

 

[SteelMaiden]

Maybe Dean, but typically the RPN for lightbulb changing isn't high enough to kick off corrective action.
