For over ten yearsMaintenance of equipmentAnd more and more, i am convinced that the real saver is never buying the most expensive equipment, but rather buying it that can be repaired, fixed and durable. Over the years, the maintenance system has been raised more and more in the workshopDismantling, replacement, online detectionIt's written into the program so that the equipment can be cured for an eight-year period, so that a core doesn't collapse. I've seen too many factory designs buy "one-time" equipment cheaply, and three years of change, it's more expensive than maintaining a maintenance system。
What about the maintenance system
I brought a team to fix a line that could be repairedCould the module be removed aloneI don't know. Many of the equipment is fully functional, but circuit boards, electric machines, sensors are all welded to death in one shell, with a half-day decapacitation in exchange for one. But the maintenance system is not "workable" and it has to be repaired quickly and not dependent on the plant's presence. I now have a hard test: within 15 minutes of a malfunctioning position, a single module replaces a person in 40 minutes and hits back over time。
And there's the interfacing pit. I've seen too many "maintainable" designs in half. There's an agreement to smuggle between the modules, and we can't recognize the national parts. It's useless to keep an eye on the maintenance systemOpen standards, the sensor is not taking the modbus or the can bus, and the mechanical part can be replaced with a national symbol. It's not written in the procurement contract and the technical agreement, and it's all up to the supplier。
How expensive is the maintenance system
To be honest, it's a maintenance systemThe initial cost is 15 to 20 percent more than the one-time equipmentI don't know. Where did the money go? Modularized structures, redundant sensors, pre-encumbered overhaul channels that you can't see when you're wearing. When i first came to the factory, the leader was too expensive, and a three-year-old axle was broken, and the manufacturer's offer was $42,000 and two months later. Later on, the bites went into a maintenance program, which cost 20,000 more in the first year, but next door in the fifth year, we're still driving。
The calculation is not based solely on the procurement price column. The real cost-savings of the maintenance system are in the loss of downtime and maintenance labour. The figure of 20,000 is much more expensive than the amount of 20,000 items of equipment that has been suspended for four hours and the production line has produced less and less. The team that i brought to the maintenance programme, which had not been scheduled to shut down from eleven to three times a year, earned the difference back from the loss alone。
I now have a clear attitude: new equipment is being set up, and i think it's a good idea to start a projectBut the maintenance design is not a subdivision. It's a bottom lineI don't know. You save 15% of the purchase price and you'll regret it for the next five years. I've been working for over a decade, and i'm getting more convinced。
