The idea of COVID-19 measures in a factory

1．Examples of "measures to prevent infection"
• Review operator's commuting method and clothes
• Body temperature measurement when going to and from work and make an entry of check sheet
• Wear a mask, wash hands, sanitize hands, and review work clothes
• Meetings and visitor limitations (active use of IT communication)
• Maintenance the office environment (uncrowded layout, flow line, air ventilation, alcohol hand sanitizer, etc.)
• Maintenance the shop floor environment (non-crowded line layout, flow line, air ventilation, alcohol hand sanitizer, etc.)

2. Examples of "work shift"
Build a production system with a minimum number of operators and review work shifts to reduce the number of people in close contact with infected person.
Simulate how many operators in close contact may be absent if one of your employees infected, and in that case what kind of production method is possible.
