However, The ever increasing competition in the market requires us to reduce our plant maintenance cost and improve maintenance productivity by reducing non-value-adding activities and idle times, optimizing our manpower and machinery resource allocation, reducing spare-parts inventories, and minimizing the equipment idle-time and maintenance/procurement dela ys. These objectives may not be achieved unless we review, assess, and improve our maintenance planning and execution processes.To achieve an agreeable level of maintenance quality and productivity aimed at increasing production reliability and continuation, we have proposed to inform a comprehensive analysis of maintenance processes, targeted at 50% reduction in maintenance be and time, 30% reduction in spare parts inventory, and an average inter-overhaul period of at least 8 years. Implementing the above initiative will hopefully enable us to maintain our cost leadership and roost at the top of the domestic chemicals market. Review/analysis of the current state and its problems/issues As cited in the persona n symptoms/problems and the root cause analysis chart, The most basic symptoms of the maintenance process which are manifested in the internal customers dissatisfaction are delayed execution and poor quality of maintenance work.These are mainly attributed to artless main tenance workers, poor coordination and cooperation between production and maintenance workers, and long procurement procedures, which result in some(prenominal) losses 0 Downtime from breakdown and changeover times 0 Speed losses (when equipment fails to operate at its optimum speed) 0 Idling and minor stoppages due to the abnormal operation of sensors, blockage of work on hates, etc. 0 Process defects due to scrap and quality defects to be repaired 0 Reduced take over in the period from machine start-up to stable production. But the ultimate cause of all these inefficiencies lies in the non-optimized function-oriented graded organization within the maintenance and other company-wide departments. In fact, this last phenomenon is the cause of fragmented processes and unnecessary restrain and inspection, which in turn hinder employees motivation and empowerment as well as cause very long cycles of spare-parts procurement.
