What are the functions of equipment cleaning and civilization?

Many people think it is just a show, as long as the production is done well. I think that only by being able to achieve civilized production can it show that the production equipment is operating normally and has the conditions to operate well. If the equipment is running and leaking all day long, the equipment must be running abnormally, safety is also a problem, and consumption cannot be reduced, not to mention sanitation. Workers can’t figure out how to do sanitation every day, so they have no time to engage in production. It directly reflects the management level of the workshop, and even more directly reflects the management level of a company. No matter how boastful you are, you don't need to look at the data. You will understand it when you go to the scene.

Friends upstairs have already expressed their opinions, pointing out that equipment hygiene objectively reflects the good condition of the equipment and the level of production management. Can you talk more specifically about why many operators don’t like cleaning?

On-site cleaning can easily detect hidden dangers and avoid personal injury accidents, such as slips and steam burns, etc.

Regarding the role of cleanliness and civilization in equipment management, the discussion is as follows: 1. The eight-character policy of equipment management is “lubricate, clean, tighten, and adjust”. For example, the management of clean water centrifugal pumps. Cleaning is required every day. Cleaning is a process of checking equipment. If it is found that the equipment is short of oil or makes noise during the cleaning process, it is easy to detect it in time. Many equipment accidents develop from a small defect. If equipment cleaning is not done well, equipment management will be out of the question. 2. The high standard of equipment management is to achieve zero-fault equipment operation, that is, the equipment does not malfunction during operation, or although it fails, the backup equipment can play a backup role without delaying production. Most chemical production is continuous and has high requirements for equipment inspection. If the equipment cannot even perform the most basic cleaning and hygiene, it will be difficult to find deeper problems during equipment inspections, and it will be even harder to accurately diagnose the equipment. Keeping the equipment clean and hygienic will help identify problems with the equipment so that they can be solved in a timely manner. 3. Equipment management must be a process in which all employees participate. Carry out 5S activities at the equipment site and maintain a clean and bright working environment, which will greatly promote good equipment management. Because only with the participation of all employees can the cleaning of all equipment be done well. Of course, we must also clearly realize that cleaning is only the beginning of good equipment management.

Equipment cleanliness reflects the appearance of a factory, just like a clean family. Of course, equipment cleaning will reduce adverse conditions such as dust entering the equipment and water vapor and other impurities corroding the equipment. This is a manifestation of everyone's participation in equipment management activities.

Equipment cleaning is a job that has both form and content

Equipment sanitation is the most basic aspect of 5S management, reflecting the company's management level and the basic quality of its employees. It is hard to imagine how the company's management will be if the equipment is heavily oily and does not reveal the true nature of the equipment! Equipment hygiene is the starting point of equipment management.: You don’t need to turn it off if there are leaks, noise, or vibrations from the equipment!
