Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's just before Obon, but it's still hot, isn't it? lol
I'll do my best at drilling again today! lol
But that's beside the point.
Material Arrival, Material Inspection, and Material Receipt
When materials arrive, what words do you write on the blackboard or digital whiteboard?
I'm relativelyMaterial Receipt or Material InspectionI often write about that.
In the past, we used to take photos when materials arrived and take detailed shots of the material specifications.
I think the terms "material arrival" and "material receipt" are probably used to mean almost the same thing.
So, what about the inspection of materials?
If you look up the term “inspection” on Google,
"To accept goods delivered in response to an order only after verifying that they meet the quality requirements, quantity, and specifications specified at the time of the order."
That's what it seems to be.
That means,Material Receipt + Material Specifications = Material Inspection
I think this nuance should be fine.
Lately, whenever new materials arrive, I’ve been taking photos of them down to the specifications, as shown above.
It's just such a hassle, lol.
I mean, don't they ask about the ingredients during inspections these days? Or check them? Like, who cares, lol.
Don't you think so?
Furthermore, since most of the materials used these days are JIS-compliant Netis products, government agencies are generally familiar with them.
Unlike in the past, there are hardly any substandard products anymore.
Even with processed products, if you look at them before processing, they’re almost always JIS-compliant products.
That said,Engineers who can score points are really particular!
I'm not as particular about things as I used to be, and I've mellowed out a bit... lol
To change the subject a bit, there was a time when the economy was so bad that we couldn't sell our materials.
With construction projects on the decline, the burden shifted to the material suppliers. This means they’re having to drive down material costs.
A last-ditch measure by the supplier? The thickness of iron products (especially anchor pins for lath) has gotten a little thinner lol
I used to be a little off, but lately my numbers have been pretty accurate. There are still some that are a bit off, though lol.
However, these few millimeters make a huge difference to a materials supplier—just changing the size from 17 mm to 16 mm reduces material costs by 10 percent.
If this is an absurdly large amount, it’s going to lead to some absurd consequences.
I digressed, but when it comes to photos of incoming materials, it doesn't really matter which term you use.
Ultimately, we rely primarily on the mill sheet (certificate of quality) rather than checking the material’s clearance by photo.
Just submit the mill sheet and issue the shipping certificate, and that's it.
That's all the government has to say on the matter.
There are some government officials who get hung up on weird things every now and then, lol.
See you later.
