GLÜCKSolv emachinerymanager - an overview Research done on a cross section of the manufacturing industry has revealed that: Machinery breakdowns result in frequent interruptions to production schedules Improper documentation of troubleshooting methods leads to loss of vital information gathered through experience when employees leave Short stock of replacement spares essential for maintenance results in delays in servicing breakdowns Expected volumes of production are not realized due to heavy downtime in sophisticated automated plants Procurement of equipments and spares on lowest tender basis without much regard for life –cycle maintenance costs and detailed specifications affects performance levels Ratio between maintenance and operation personnel in highly automated plants is grossly disproportionate Maintenance efforts are seldom planned, coordinated and budgeted Machinery history is inadequately documented to aid timely management decision on disposal and replacement Proper appraisal of service providers becomes difficult due to inadequate/lack of appropriate feed back systems Ad hoc planning and scheduling of resources for maintenance jobs increase avoidable costs The above factors clearly highlight the need for focused efforts in the arena of machinery management for best results. In fact, they emphasise the importance of a focus on maintenance planning even as early as when a new project is being planned and formulated and more so when it’s functioning. The Original Equipment Manufacturer does not always get adequate information on the performance levels of equipments supplied. Lack of this timely, vital information comes in the way of innovations and improvements in design – a sign of stagnancy.
