PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION TO
THE TOPIC:
A simple machine is any device that only
requires the application of a single force to work.
Simple machines include: the inclined plane,
wheel and axle, lever, pulley, wedge (single and
double and the Archimedes! screw. A machine is
a mechanical device with moving parts, often
powered by electricity, used to perform a task,
especially one that would otherwise be done by
hand. "achinery refers to the aggregate parts
that make up a machine or group of machines to
produce a particular result.
#very industry, $eld and profession today
employs the use of machinery in some way, shape
or form. %he computer industry, farming and
agriculture, the automotive industry, the medical
$eld, engineering, mining, manufacturing,
packaging and construction are &ust a few of the
industries and $elds that are dependent on
machinery. %he ma&or machinery factoring
countries include: the 'nited (ingdom, )ermany,
*rance and +taly.

"achines and "achine "aintenance:
%he machines in the factory are S," i.e. they
are special purpose machines. %hese machines
are prepared by the machine manufacturing
company depending on the speci$cations given
by the company. %here are nearly -. machines in
the factory each of them operated by one /0 two
worker. %hese machines require special
maintenance, therefore1 there is special
department for maintenance. Apart from this it
has also other department for maintenance. %he
only regular maintenance that takes place is the
oiling in the machine daily. +f there is any kind

breakdown then the machine is replaced as these
are S,". +f the machine asks for any repairing
then it is done only if it is a minor repair. +f it2s a
ma&or one then the machine is replaced. +n many
cases the repairing is done by the "echanical
engineer who is specially appointed for this
purpose. ,reventive "aintenance is adopted in
this factory as it is a large scale industry. +n some
cases, the machines have to be replaced even
though they are in good condition. %his is due to
the changes in technology and demand.
%he following are the di3erent types of
machines used in this factory:

%he company has its own unique method of
maintenance which comprises of di3erent
types of tags for maintenance of the di3erent
departments:@

? 0ed %ag is for #lectrical 7epartment.

,reventive "aintenance:

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
+t means to maintain the maintenance
operation performed prior to breakdown and may
be either minor or ma&or. +t is carried out on
scheduled basis for retaining equipment in a
satisfactory operating condition.
,reventive maintenance is done on every
Sundays.
,reventive maintenance takes place in four ways:@

MAINTAINING MACHINES:
"aintaining our plant and equipment in good
order not only increases its life, but makes it safer
to use and also quieter.
How wear and tear afects noise
ot!t"

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
;e can understand this by looking at the
AbathtubA curve. %his shows what happens to the
noise output of a machine over its working life.
Servicing needs to be carried out at ,oint ?,
before the wear and tear becomes serious. :y
doing this, we may not achieve a large noise
reduction, as the noise level will drop back to the
level at ,oint A or ,oint :. :ut what we will do is
to avoid the period of high noise exposure up to
,oint 7.
5ot only this, but repairs carried out at ,oint 7 are
going to be much more expensive.

How can you tell when your machine
needs servicing?
/bviously you won!t want to wait till ,oint 7
on the curve before you realise the need for
servicing. %here are three simple ways you can
check whether any of the nine problems above
are starting to appear.
-.Book @ can you see signs of wearC +s the
machine!s performance downC 0emember,
however, that only quali$ed people may take
an electrical machine apart.

4.*eel @ some of the problems will show up as
looseness or increased vibration, which you
can learn to recogniDe by feel, especially in
hand@held machines. Again, only touch the
machine where you can do so safely.
6.Bisten @ your ears are a good fault detector @
even with hearing protectors on. Bisten for
new noises, especially tonal (AwhiningA
sounds, repeated impacts, or high frequency
(AscreechA sounds. Also, slipping belts will
cause a screech at start@up, while a damaged
bearing may appear as a AclunkA during run@
down.
+deally, your workplace should have in place a
system for checking and servicing the various
machines and power tools. +f you don!t have the
expertise in your workplace, then use a quali$ed
service centre in your area.
Safety and "achinery :
"achinery@related haDards are present in virtually
every industry but they are more common in
manufacturing, farming and construction.
:ecause these industries employ the use of
numerous types of machinery, the chances of
work@related in&uries increases greatly. Eowever,
many machinery@related accidents result from

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
human error. %he operator either ignored a
warning, didn!t follow safety rules, decided to take
a shortcut or the operator could be distracted or
even sleep@deprived. +n some cases, guards
removed for maintenance often aren!t replaced.
*or overall risk and loss management, machinery
should be tested and assessed prior to use. %he
following guidelines should give you an idea of
common assessment procedures.
F "achinery should be checked against /SEA,
A5S+, 5*%A and ##? requirements to determine
compliance with the current regulatory standards.
F Safety circuits should be veri$ed and checked.
F ?heck warning labels against current standards.
F %est control systems for control reliability.
F ?heck for actual use versus design
