Hanoi: Potential to improve equipment efficiency in mechanical enterprises

Export Mechanical Tools Joint Stock Company is located in Quang Minh Industrial Park, Me Linh, Hanoi, specializing in manufacturing precision mechanical products, machine details, tools, auto-motorcycle spare parts and molds-jigs. In June 2020, the company registered to participate in the program Maintaining overall equipment performance TPM supported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Export Mechanical Tool Joint Stock Company was established in 1960 under the Industrial Machinery and Equipment Corporation – Ministry of Industry. In 2001, the company was transformed into a joint stock company with 100% of shareholders being officers and employees who have been working in the company. Through more than 50 years of construction and development, the company has always been interested in technology improvement, product quality improvement, management system optimization and continuous growth.

In the last few years, the company has had experience participating in a number of state-supported programs such as the Samsung consultant support program, the Lean program of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. By registering to participate in this program, the company wishes to improve labor productivity, raise awareness about equipment maintenance for operators and maintainers at the company’s mechanical workshop 1. The TPM program at the company will last from June to September 2020 with two main focus activities, including self-management maintenance and focus improvement.

With the self-managed maintenance pillar, the company hopes to raise the operator’s awareness and capacity in checking, cleaning, lubricating, and screwing equipment. Workers are able to detect equipment anomalies early and handle them quickly. At the company, in addition to the general technical maintenance department of the company, each workshop also has its own maintenance staff, which is a double-edged sword, although this department plays a supporting role to speed up. solving the problem quickly, but it leads to the low initiative of the worker in maintaining equipment.

With the key improvement pillar, the company plans to calculate the overall equipment performance index of the specialized processing machine E206. According to the company’s leaders, this is the company’s trend in the coming time and the machine performance is not as expected as expected compared to similar machines. The company hopes that by the end of the program, performance will improve.

TPM project deployed at mechanical workshop 1 received the support and high commitment of company leaders and factory leaders in allocating resources both financially and humanly to achieve the goals as set. Agree with the Project representative.
