OPL One Point Lesson 1685582786

OPL stands for One Point Lesson, which is a simple operational tool used to educate operators through concise lessons consisting primarily of diagrams and few words. There are three main types of OPLs: basic information sheets providing know-how on components and maintenance, problem case study sheets educating on past issues, and improvement sheets showing how productivity and quality can be improved. OPLs are required to achieve standardization, communicate important messages, pass on knowledge, and develop a clear learning process for operators to reduce defects. Key aspects for effective OPLs include using photos and arrows for quick access, explaining topics in 10 minutes or less, and illustrating just one point per sheet. Benefits are improved performance, cost efficiency
