應用化學品管理系統於某研究機構化學品庫存之減量研究

Abstract

學術研究機構因為執行計劃多且研究領域廣泛造成使用之化學品種類繁多，但數量卻遠低於一般工廠之固定製程使用量，除了需符合法令的相關規範管理之外，學術研究單位的化學品管理一直存在相當的困難度。

本研究運用已建置之化學品管理系統，藉由增加系統通知與管制功能，進而提醒化學品使用者改善其系統使用登錄，期使實際量與系統量能趨近，並間接讓使用者了解系統操作進而處理中長期未使用之化學品，增加內部流通，以逐步減少庫存量。

由化學品系統增加未減量登錄提醒與告知系統使用說明功能，確實讓多數使用者能配合減量，加上超過3個月未減量停止請購權限功能，中長期未減量人數已由812人大幅減至170人(改善約79%)，且中長期未減量保管之化學品亦由原先之120.5噸減少至25.5噸，而改善後總量減少最大達248噸(減少約62%)。改善後每月平均請購量亦減少 約1.1噸，降低購入與管理成本及潛在之儲存與職業衛生風險。

Academic reserch institutions have many kinds of chemicals due to large number of projects and wide research fields. But the quantity of chemicals is far less than a general factory which usually has a fixed manufacturing process. In addtion to complying with relevant regulations, considerable difficulty exists in the management of chemicals in the research institutions.

This study used an existing chemical management system in a research institute and increased the notification and control functions to remind users to register for the use of chmicals so that the amount registered in the system can match with the actual amount. Indirectly, the user can learn from the system and take care of the chemicals that have not been used for a long time. Therefore, the internal circulation is increased and the stocks of chemicals are reduced.

The notifications for unregistration for use and system help functions have resulted in the reduction of chemicals. The purchasing permit will be revoked if the users do not perform the registration for use of chemicals over three months. These all lead to substantial reduction of the number of mid-term and long-term unregistratered users from 812 to 170 people (or about 79 percent improvement). The amount of unregistered chemicals has been decreased from the original 120.5 to 25.5 tons, with the overall reduction of chemicals by 248 tons (or about 62 per cent).The average monthly purchased quantity of chemicals is decreased by about 1.1 tons after the improvement. The purcurement and the management costs, the potential risks of storage and occupational health hazards are also reduced.
