GRO / Methods & standards
Methods at the equipment.
Standards in daily work.
GRO uses TPM, Lean and data-based improvement methods as tools for specific production tasks. Selection, measurement and documentation fit the equipment and operation. Applying a method does not certify the company.

TPM and autonomous maintenance.
Cleaning as inspection, lubrication, defined control points and structured deviation responses connect equipment condition with daily responsibility.
- Autonomous and preventive maintenance with suitable intervals.
- Checklists, annual planning and visual standards.
- Practical training for operators and maintenance.
GRO / 02
Lean, material flow and work organisation.
Gemba Walk, SIPOC and VSM make real work and interfaces visible. 5S and visual management support clear routines; SMED can structure changeover tasks.
- Investigate bottlenecks, routes, waiting and non-value-adding work.
- Trial workstations and layouts together with operators.
- Embed standards, clear responsibilities and continuous improvement in daily work.
GRO / 03
Lean Six Sigma, DMAIC and effectiveness checks.
Define goals, measure baseline, analyse causes, trial changes and control their effects. Controls develop during implementation.
- OEE and suitable KPIs with an unambiguous baseline.
- 5 Why, RCA, FTA and FMEA according to the question; PDCA for short learning cycles.
- SPC where data is suitable and documented before/after comparisons.
GRO / 04
Test methods and management requirements.
Check360 investigates product, process and environment together. The test plan defines methods, samples, instruments and reference values. Quality, environmental and occupational-safety management requirements can be incorporated into documentation and work standards.
- Colour/ΔE, adhesion, hardness, impact resistance and film thickness.
- Surface cleanliness, soluble salts, wetting, temperature history and airflow.
- TDS, SDS and OEM requirements; relevant ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 requirements and SUVA where applicable within the assignment.
GRO / 05
Technical references for the test plan.
Test methods are selected for the substrate, coating and task. Parts, editions, test conditions and available instruments are specified for the actual assignment.
- ISO 2409: cross-cut assessment of resistance to separation, not a tensile adhesion-strength measurement.
- ISO 15184: pencil film-hardness test; ISO 6272, appropriate part: rapid deformation by falling weight.
- ISO 2808: methods for determining film thickness.
- ISO 8501-1: visual assessment of prepared steel surfaces; ISO 8502-3: dust assessment using tape.
- ISO 8502-6: extraction of water-soluble contaminants (Bresle); ISO 8502-9: conductometric assessment of water-soluble salts.
GRO / 06
Traceability before blanket claims.
Test methods and applicable requirements are technically specified for each assignment. An investigation or audit preparation replaces neither a mandatory specialist inspection nor a certification procedure.
- Document measurements, observations, hypotheses and open questions separately.
- Distinguish personal certificates from organisational certification.
- Attribute qualifications and technical evidence to the right person and applicable scope.
