Our Equipment Department has never been able to detect in advance any signs of equipment failures in the various workshops on site. We never noticed abnormal noises, temperature issues, vibrations, or anything of the kind in a timely manner. It was always the workshops themselves that discovered the problems, stopped the machines immediately, and then had the maintenance staff take a look. As expected, the bearings were worn out and the gears were damaged. Then they asked our Equipment Department to analyze the reasons behind these problems. When we went there, we were also confused – why analyze anything when you just replace the damaged parts? If the bearings are broken, replace them; if the gears are damaged, replace them as well. Ugh, it’s really embarrassing
This phenomenon is quite normal. Not only can’t problems be detected, but they also can’t be solved. Besides fixing and replacing~:lol
This is truly a lack of management. Furthermore, if the staff in the equipment department are not familiar with the characteristics, structure, operation, and vulnerable parts of the equipment, it is impossible for them to detect early signs of equipment failure.
Only employees on the production line, including maintenance staff, can truly detect equipment issues in a timely and proactive manner. Therefore, it is said: Experience leads to true knowledge, and among any three people, there is always one I can learn from.
So what should we do, send someone to the workshop to check it out?
The functional departments failed to fulfill their duties.
None of us have any experience at the grassroots level; there are no workers in the workshops who know much, so it’s difficult to gain people’s trust. Everyone in a department stays stuck in the office, too afraid to go outside
For equipment management, one must be diligent – go around often, ask questions, observe carefully, and stay attentive
If you want to do a good job in equipment management, it is truly necessary to go to the workshop in person.
Since everyone knows this, why not make a change? After all, it’s still up to you to manage the equipment :)
Our people went to the workshop, and the workers there spat at them as a sign of defiance, which scared all of us. Besides, the workshop workers were already working, so our presence there didn’t help at all; it was just awkward to stand there. For the several inspections that take place each month, no one among us wants to go
