We have three distinctive views on the maintenance of material handling machinery. Below, if you don’t mind, we can take a look at it.
Some very interesting insights are provided by data from the 2016 maintenance survey of plant engineering, which includes:
61% of maintenance operations need to use the “run – to – a failure” to the determination of initial machinery requires attention. Packaging system normally closed only once per year maintenance plan, but the material handling equipment as it is not the same, material handling equipment is generally close 4 to 6 times /. Do you know the biggest reason to wait for machine downtime? After our preliminary study, we have been able to basically determine that the primary reason is the aging equipment. Maintenance outsourcing about 22% (only increased by 29% since 2015), 55% of the factory plans to upgrade equipment, the frequency of the purpose is to make downtime is greatly reduced, although we now have evidence that that capital equipment spending is slowing, but it changes nothing. The reasons for this phenomenon is the lack of human and technical skills, maintenance outsourcing trend. Challenges to improve maintenance, lack of staff, lack of budget, understand/around the new technology training is insufficient, lack of management support, scheduling and inconsistent
Obviously, it’s all included. The disruptive impact of downtime is also very large, leading to more than half of the respondents to address this issue by considering machine upgrades. At the same time, we can see the thing is to improve maintenance is also in constant rise, this means that costs will continue to increase: since 2015, the average time of scheduled maintenance/week/factory from 20 to 22, everybody can see, this is a kind of increase.
Do you know what this means to the people of rind?
