Operators & Machines Part 2 (Optimize your Asset, machinery)

Optimize your Asset, machinery

In the earlier article I mentioned operators as your important asset, but nothing much they can do without the machines. Therefore, you need to make sure:

  1. All machines have the required supporting tools ie. folder and attachment
  2. All machines are in good condition and well maintained
  3. You can identify the detailed location on each machine and their status (in operation, in maintenance, etc)

There are situations where the machines are being idle, and surprisingly that’s because you don’t have full control of them. Why?

  1. You cannot synchronize machines’ readiness with the planning of orders. The factory needs to know how many single needles, overlock, bartack, etc that are needed for order and how long they will run in production
  2. You don’t know whether you have a sufficient number of machines and whether are they in good condition
  3. The machine(s) is lost somewhere, and nobody can find them

Skill-Math can help you to provide machine requirement vs availability as it can use the information from your orders planning tool.

The maintenance team can respond faster if there is any downtime because of the machine, as the user can report any downtime thru mobile Apps, real-time!

Operators & Machines Part 1 (Operators as your Asset)

Operators as your Asset

It is very important to maintain your operators to bring benefits to the business, this means:

  1. Identify their current skill and set training programs for their improvement
  2. Create a competitive environment to achieve a good result
  3. Make sure they are happy with the rewards based on performance

Let us see in more detail on each point…..

  1. Most of the time factories have difficulty identifying the skills of operators, it is essential to have the skill matrix of every single operator, analyze their strengths and weakness and then create a training program for them.
  2. It can be challenging for supervisors or line leaders to push operators to hit the target, but by using valid data on the skill of all operators within the factory we can create internal competition amongst themselves.
  3. Motivation is another key point to encourage operators to perform better. We need to identify skillful operators on a certain task, or even multi-talented operators so we can create a fair incentive scheme. This method will help us to keep operators loyal to us and bring benefits to the company.

Companies must see the workers as partners, on the other hand, workers must appreciate the company as their working place where they can perform their skills and show that they mean something. This relationship is built based on mutual benefits.

Skill-Math can help you to achieve this, company/factory and workers can grow together.
