You're facing unexpected machine breakdowns. How do you keep production timelines on track?
Unexpected machine breakdowns can derail production, but quick thinking and strategic actions can keep your projects on track.
When machines grind to a halt, your production schedule doesn't have to. Stay proactive with these strategies:
- Implement a preventive maintenance schedule to reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
- Cross-train staff so there are multiple people capable of addressing mechanical issues or operating alternative machinery.
- Keep a stockpile of critical spare parts to facilitate quick repairs without waiting for shipments.

Unexpected machine breakdowns may be due to poor machine maintenance. The best way is to implement a TPM culture in the manufacturing organisation. With the help of TPM, you can create an ownership for the person using the machine and promote autonomous maintenance. With the help of TPM, preventive maintained schedules to be defined at defined intervals. Also secondly with the use of past data and lead time of critical spares, inventory should be maintained for such parts to tackle sudden surprises due to breakdown.
