Why isn’t there a single person in our equipment department willing to do this job? No one wants to do it; they all say that this job involves offending people and requires effort with no reward. It’s just a matter of sending someone to the site to conduct regular or irregular inspections of the equipment in various workshops; if there are any leaks or malfunctions, they make a record of them, and then ask the respective production and maintenance workshops to carry out repairs and corrections. Is that that difficult? They say that when they go to the site for inspections, others claim that they spend their whole day doing nothing but wandering around, and that the workers on site dislike and despise them; some even spit at them as a way of showing their disapproval and contempt, so much so that they no longer dare to go to the site. . . . . .
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it’s by no means just their problem. It is said that the best way to manage people is through culture, but in reality, there isn’t that much culture available. In my opinion, the main reason for the inability to manage things effectively is that the systems exist in name only, with rule-by-man replacing rule-of-law. There’s also the issue of the individual themselves: without authority, you can’t solve practical problems.
There are management issues – is no one overseeing the leaks at the chemical plant?
In the event of leaks or spills from the equipment, the workshop should be the first to detect them, and it should also be the first to take action, handling the situation or contacting the maintenance team. If the Equipment Department finds that no one has dealt with it, it constitutes a performance evaluation issue. Is there still someone in charge of the workshop equipment?
Whether the issues related to low-standard rectification are significant or not depends on the level of attention given by the company. Personally, I think this is very necessary; many operators simply lack awareness of equipment maintenance. Without relevant assessments, the work site will end up messy and in disarray.
