If you are the head of operations in a factory, you will want to upgrade your system and implement various methods for better efficiency. However, don’t neglect one of the time-tested and important ways to keep the production process in your factory running smoothly, namely a solid preventive maintenance program. Preventive maintenance is a machine maintenance program and various devices that support factory productivity on a regular and scheduled basis to reduce the possibility of damage and maintain optimal machine performance. If this strategy is implemented regularly and in an orderly manner by the vapro c operator, you will have a record of small problems and solve them before the damage becomes bigger and costs more.
With preventive maintenance, each part will operate within the scope of:
– Have a regular maintenance schedule
– Knowing and considering all warranties/guarantees from machines
– Integrated with supporting applications for automatic updates
– Have a designated team
– Have a budget and validity period
You are advised to schedule maintenance of the most important assets. Later you will easily compare the results of the most important assets that have been categorized in the machine group that requires preventive maintenance. In addition, prioritizing these critical assets will also provide space for workers to adapt to an active preventive maintenance workflow and mindset. So, some of the questions that need to be answered in this classification process include which machines are the most important in the factory. Does the machine require regular maintenance? Is the cost of replacing and repairing this machine relatively expensive? After that, you will start creating an asset list containing detailed information about other machines.
Complete this list with an attachment to the warranty/guarantee from the manufacturer of the machine and recommended guidelines from the manufacturer that made the machine. Also complete with other information, such as operational procedures, tools, and equipment needed for maintenance, skills, and training required, a list of machine parts, and safety instructions. These will all become standard procedures in the implementation of preventive maintenance.
