Difficulties in implementing TPM
Thread Content
One year has passed since the implementation of TPM; many activities have been carried out on the surface, but no real progress has been made. Here is a summary.
Ultimately, it is still a matter of people’s thoughts and actions
Whether the implementation of TPM can be carried out effectively and in an orderly manner depends mainly on the company-level leader responsible for this task, as well as his own qualities, skills, capabilities, and authority regarding TPM. If TPM is not designed, planned, and structured from the company’s perspective and at a corporate level – by considering the company’s TPM framework, organizational structure, work processes, and resource allocation – then TPM is nothing more than a formality
Very well put, in my opinion.
The inferior position of equipment management within a company’s multi-dimensional management system is the main reason why TMP management systems cannot be implemented in most companies. In most companies, equipment management is merely that – management of equipment – and it has nothing to do with production; when something breaks, it’s considered the responsibility of the person in charge of that specific piece of equipment. In fact, the majority of equipment damage occurs during use. At present, the equipment in fine chemical enterprises is mostly started remotely; no one goes to the site for inspections before startup, and there are no suitable means for automated control or remote monitoring. Under normal circumstances, this poses no problem, but what about in abnormal situations? For businesses, production is the top priority in management; equipment management has to be sacrificed, and those who need to take the blame should do so. TMP management requires a strong management team. Otherwise, it’s just for show, it increases the workload without any real effect.
Just a few thoughts; everyone is welcome to offer corrections.
I’ve learned it.* Capabilities and mindsets need to keep up.
Haichuan Network places great emphasis on the exchange of professional knowledge, which is why the sections on the website are becoming increasingly specialized, and the sub-categories within those sections are becoming more specific and targeted. This is also a good thing, as it allows for more accurate and specific exchanges of technical information. However, the gap between various fields such as manufacturing processes, equipment, and automated control systems grows ever wider; thus, the structured layout and detailed categorization of content on Haichuan Network only serve to exacerbate this gap! In the production and operation of any industry, it is an organic whole that requires timely, close, thorough, comprehensive, and all-round communication, interaction, and coordination among various professionals. Without this, discussions on production management, process technology management, or equipment management are nothing but illusions – they look good on paper but are useless in practice. Moreover, the more so-called advanced management techniques that are adopted, the worse the results become, with more problems and higher costs!
