Introduce yourselves

Hello, Tennyson!

My name is Ian. My current occupation is Head of R&D Department, but I had worked as manufacturing and maintenance engineer since 2010. Please, let me discuss in this way.

There are two points of view. One is from engineer's eyes. Any job, any task needs a time. Any task with a quality result needs a little more. Another view is that any equipment shoud make money. If it has broken it's owner wants to see fix as fast as it possible. Both points are OK.

According to your equipment it is nesessary to fix them as fast as it possible, but, unfortunately, fix something by one click is a fairytale. Maybe it could be a good idea do approve minimal breakdown (in minutes, hourr, etc,) with your mechanic that will be suitable for you (at this moment!) and OK for mechanic. 


Then it will be instance to determine how your mechanic will reduce this time. I.e., from 40min. to 20min. next or two month. There are many useful instruments of organising maintenance and repair process that could help (TQM, SMED etc.). try to involve your mechanic and staff into improvment process.
