Lessons from Incidents and Accidents – Part 2
In this edition, we will once again talk about “Railway technologies based on lessons learned from incidents and accidents”, published by the Railway Technical Research Institute in Japan. One of the things that caught my attention in this material is the detailed explanation it provides on the fundamentals of bolted joints.
For those of you who learned about “Japanese Monodzukuri” ( Meaning : “Japanese manufacturing” ) through AOTS, you may be familiar with the quality control method called “5-Whys Analysis,” which was devised by Toyota. This method involves repeatedly asking “why” about a problem until the root cause is identified and the issue is resolved. However, this approach alone is not sufficient. After implementing improvements, it is also necessary to develop measures that prevent the problem from recurring.
Similarly, “Railway technologies based on lessons learned from incidents and accidents” was written with the idea of exploring the background that led to accidents, as well as addressing the accidents themselves. According to the Japan’s Railway Technical Research Institute, this involves identifying the underlying causes of accidents and cutting them off at the source.
Some of the accidents covered in this material may have occurred because designers, engineers, and workers lacked a sufficient understanding of the basics of bolted joints, or because they were not provided with an environment in which to learn these fundamentals.
In fact, this educational material provides explanations on how to install bolts, torque control, methods to prevent bolted joint loosening, and even the history of bolts.
If you or those around you are experiencing lack of quality or recurring accidents, why not take a fresh look at the fundamentals of bolted joints?
Stay tuned for the next edition.
