In the field of industry, "developing new technology", "manufacturing better products", "developing parts with high added value", and "meeting customer needs" are very important, but the same Cost reduction is also an important issue. Especially in recent years, global competition has intensified, and with the rise of countries with many factories with low manufacturing costs, the competitiveness of other factories is being questioned. Promoting effective cost reduction will create a foundation for winning over the competition.
The need for cost reduction is the same for parts that involve mechanical work such as manufacturing. One of the effective ways to do so is to maintain and repair machines in-house and continue to use them. In this article, we will introduce the benefits of being able to perform maintenance and repairs in-house, and the extent to which they can be performed in-house.
Increase the range that can be handled in-house and extend the life of the machine
No matter how sturdy the machine is, if it continues to be used, it will eventually break down. Maintenance is performed to prolong the period until failure, and repairs are performed to make the broken machine usable again. Isn't that true?
In the past, we were unable to do our own maintenance
In particular, if routine maintenance is delayed, the disadvantage will be greater in the event of a breakdown. If you ask a repair company, etc., it will cost you that much, and if you need advanced repairs, the cost will rise more and more. Or you may need to replace parts. Depending on the machine, it may not be possible to replace only the relevant part, and there may be cases where peripheral parts also need to be replaced.
If it takes time to repair or replace parts, there is also a disadvantage that the operating time of the machine will be shortened and the productivity of the factory will decrease. In the case of replacing many parts, industrial waste will increase, which is not desirable from the viewpoint of environmental conservation.
Advantages of enabling in-house maintenance
If you can set up a system that allows you to perform routine maintenance and simple repairs in-house, you can greatly reduce the risk of breakdowns and decreased productivity. Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent machine failure, maintain stable productivity, and continue using the machine for a long time. In addition, regular maintenance helps to avoid serious failures and also prevents dangers to workers caused by failures.
In order to establish such a system, it is important to be particular about the selection of products to be introduced. If you introduce products that are easy to maintain and repair and enable you to handle them in-house, you will be able to reduce maintenance costs while also considering safety, productivity, and the environment.
Trouble-free worksites with the introduction of service kits
In order to enable maintenance and repairs to be carried out in-house, Ross Asia offers service kits. The kit contains the parts necessary for maintenance and repair of the product, and if you use these, you will be able to continue using the product for a long time.
You can also refer to the maintenance method and detailed troubleshooting by looking at the service manual. By using troubleshooting, it is possible to deal with many defects and failures in-house or at the factory. As a result, it will be easier to reduce costs and create a system to survive in global competition. Ross Asia also supports after-sales service, so if you have any questions about maintenance or repairs, you can consult us.
If maintenance and repair can be performed in-house using service kits, there are various benefits such as reduced running costs. Cost reduction is something that the entire industrial field is calling for, and major companies are realizing cost reduction through various means. As part of your improvement activities, please consider building a maintenance and repair system within your company or factory.
[In-house repair]
When performing in-house repair using the service kit, we ask that a person skilled in repair work do it.
When replacing parts using a service kit, we do not have the means to confirm whether the assembly has been performed correctly, so please be aware that any problems that occur during our repairs will be your own responsibility.
If you are unsure about in-house repairs, please contact us as we will accept repairs. If the product is repaired by us, the warranty period is 3 months.
