It’s in charge of machine repairs again
Thread Content
In April of this year, the company decided to place the maintenance center under the management of our department (which is primarily responsible for process design, electrical design, and equipment management), and I was appointed as the temporary supervisor of the maintenance team. The previous departmental management led to low efficiency in repairs, a high rate of rework, countless complaints, insufficient spare parts, shifting of responsibilities, inadequate tools, and numerous other problems such as employees claiming they didn’t know how to handle certain issues. After careful consideration, the company’s management felt that I was competent enough (in terms of skills, sense of responsibility, emotional intelligence, and appearance: lol). Having experience in mechanical maintenance as well as in managing such tasks, they decided to assign me to lead the mechanical maintenance team. I have been working in mechanical maintenance for 7 years; I really wanted to move away from this role and take on a management position, but in the end I returned to my original field of work. Dear sea friends, please share – what are the problems with the mechanical maintenance in your companies? What are the highlights? I’ll listen to everyone’s opinions; perhaps I’ll apply them in my own management work. You’ll get a 10 Wealth reward just for participating! ! ! ! Chemical Equipment and Machinery
The problem is that it once took four people a whole morning to repair one pump; we’re considering outsourcing the repairs~~~
It is best to have some knowledge of the manufacturing process when working in equipment management, as this helps in analyzing and solving problems. :lol
As a department head, one must not only make sound arrangements for the department’s daily work but also maintain good relationships with other departments! Some problems can be resolved with just a single statement from the department head! One must be good at social skills!
Is the machinery repair department in our unit doing well? Available on call; if unable to do it, a reason must be provided!
Actually, I want to ask who submits the requests for spare parts.
Some pumps are indeed difficult to disassemble; it’s not a big issue if this doesn’t happen often. You need to find the root cause of the problem
Our maintenance services are managed by the group and are separate from the listed company; all services are charged. The advantage is that emergency repair work can be carried out with extra hours worked just like by internal staff, while the disadvantage is that the cost is higher than when using outsourcing.
To repair equipment, one must have some understanding of the relevant techniques and be able to analyze problems in a combined manner.
I have 5 years of experience in mechanical maintenance management, 4 years in equipment management, and 10 years as a mechanical maintenance technician. Feel free to ask anything you want
Establish appropriate stock levels for spare parts and strictly adhere to these levels; for non-fragile parts, requests should be submitted in advance based on condition-based maintenance, thereby reducing the need for repairs due to failures.
