For example companies that own Overhead Cranes have to by law complete safety inspections on their cranes, hoists, slings and other below the hook devices. As a result of the inspection records some repairs may be required to bring the crane back to regular operational and safe status.
But what causes the defects to be listed on the inspection and other problems from happening?
Key questions:There may be questions that most end-users or equipment owners might not understand or may have not even thought to ask.
Once you start to ask questions, you will soon see "the big picture" why MHEControl? |
Ask the right questions:
Who completes the inspections? And who do they represent? And how do they determine which parts and components of the crane are in fact defective? Not only this, but more importantly why do defects or problems occur? or how often? Are we able to predict when occurences might happen? Can we reduce break-downs? Can we save money on repair hours by repairing less often as we normally do? And at the same time maintaining safety? Is it possible?How good is our service technicians and inspectors? Why did we choose them in the first place? How much money did they save us since we choose to use them for service?Are the replacement parts OEM or substituted parts or are some of the parts incorrect? And how are we truly certain?The Answers...If you don't have a way to track the information intelligently or have a means to analyze the information properly then you will not be able to answer your own questions, understand your equipment better, decide on who and how your equipment is maintained and discovering more answers to other questions.
What is the root source of the problem?
MHEControl allows you to pin-point why you equipment fails or has problems right to the root of the problem. Here are some possible root problems to consider:
Lack of information.Recurring mechanical or electrical part failures.Incorrect replacement parts and components for substitute parts.Operator error = lack of proper training or inefficient utilization of equipment.Service companies not disclosing all information regarding the equipment.Variable repair hours for repairs that are identicle to complete.Over utilization of the equipment more than it was designed to handle.Not completing preventative maintenance repairs during inspection periods.Over paying for OEM replacement parts.Agreeing to an open ended purchase order for maintenance services.Not having a true preventative mainetance program with a proper plan for repairs.
