The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXII

JLarson

Quick answer is no. Longer answer is we've got literally hundreds of Work Instructions, some of which are out of the scope of what I do. My branch of the company is only 41 people, so having the manpower to do a dry run of all potential work instructions the auditor could be going through prior to an audit is... not out of the question, but unlikely. Especially in an area that I don't directly control. Getting our director of manufacturing to do anything like that is difficult.

Edit: I will add that the areas performing to the work instructions are supposed to be reviewing their work against the WI on a regular basis, but we're still working on the discipline of that mindset. Right now it's still a little too much of a "if quality isn't watching, it doesn't matter" thought process.

Another great Amazon story... Ordered some silver/graphite anti-seize last weekend cause I didn't want to use the copper stuff I have. But I also saw they have the stick form of copper anti-seize, so I also ordered one of them (the stick form is so easy to use!).

Order arrived yesterday (w/o Prime btw). There were 2X sticks of copper and no silver anti-seize in the package. No response from the seller yet. Screw Amazon. I'm just going to call my credit card company. They will take care of me.

Biggest problem is the runners. They are all over the place. But they're easy to handle. I just trip them as they run by. Most of the time they aren't even paying attention

Harbor Freight. 4pk of funnels = $0.79. For that price they are practically one-use worthy. After use, I store each one in a different plastic bag for the varying fluids

I've got an old metal funnel I use for oil. It goes in the 'empty' oil jug when I'm done with it. The 'empty' jug also gets used to drain oil jugs into when they are 'empty'. I've got almost 3 quarts of oil I use for the mower in my 'empty' jug.

The screws on mine are self-tapping. But the extra room will definitely help

Gonna grab the silver anti-seize locally. Also looking at grabbing some nickel anti-seize at the same time. The nuclear grade is much more expensive, but for the quantity I can get locally, it is actually cheaper than the non-nuclear grade. Far less quantity in the nuclear grade, but $35 of non-nuclear grade is way more than I'll ever need.

Worth it? Thoughts?

I think regular anti-seize will be fine.It takes me a few months just to go through one small bottle at my shop.

You mean the silver?

I probably don't even need the variety. But if I get some nickel stuff I am just wondering whether I should get 8 oz of the non-nuclear grade for $35 or 1 oz of the nuclear grade for $12. Since I have silver and copper, the nickel would just be for specialized uses. Thinking there's no need for me to have 8 oz of the stuff.
