Loading ...someone needs to be constantly LOOKING for problems ,not waiting for them to happen ,heading them off ,preventing them on an on going basis .I ran full out high speed sewing room operations with machines that sew 7000 stitches a minute and had trimming knives that always needed maintenance .If you didnt do it ,you were guaranteed to have accidents …dull trimming knives lead to broken machine parts and injured fingers guaranteed ,and work flow stoppages that cost hundreds of dollars a day in a small factory !
spare parts always kept on hand,maintenance on an on going basis ,never letting a machine run out of oil ..replacing motor bearings before they caused a fire by electrical short and DUST fires. (There is a way to tell when a sealed motor bearing is going bad).
We ran everything full speed 14 hours a day 6 days a week ..produced 36,000 saleable garments a WEEK ..no defects !
You need to know what problems are endemic to the process when you run machines hard and be PREPARED to head off problems BEFore they happen .Keep spare parts for those that are that the cutting edge ,never fail to do the maintenance ,every day oil every machine every day .ALL that in addition to the People problems of managing 150 women !
Mining is almost identical …theres always something bad about to happen so the manager better be looking for it before it happens ! ITS built in !
