Question

Select an organization in your area and identify three of their objectives, and then demonstrate how maintenance can contribute to achieving them.

Answer 1

Organizational objectives refer to the organization's short term as well as long term goals/ the achievement of these goals leads to the overall achievement of strategic goals. In a manufacturing organization nearby my area has many objectives, but its three chief goals are:

• Increasing the production

• Reducing the injuries occurring in the organization

• Reducing the cost of production without compromising the quality

Maintenance of the organization is concerned with all the administrative, managerial, and technical actions during the life cycle of a product, offered by the organization. It is not limited to the physical maintenance of the equipment. Maintenance is essential for the achievement of these organizations.

Increasing the production- the maintenance ensures the production time is not lost by confirming that all equipment is working correctly and not to be a failure during the production and focus on minimizing the losses due to the stoppage during production.

Reducing accident at workplace- the safety of the employees is ensured by the maintenance of facilities such as compressors, boilers, and material handling equipment.

Cost-effectiveness in production- the proper maintenance with the scheduling and planning, the reliability of the equipment is improved, and this reduces the cost in overall production.
