The practical application of the machinery management

Purpose: In the paper the problems of equipments and machines management in the automotive company are analyzed based on Total Productive Maintenance and World Class Manufacturing Methodology (in particular Early Equipment Management, Autonomous Maintenance and Professional Maintenance) and PN-EN ISO 9001:2009 norm and also ISO/TS 16949. Benefits of infrastructure management are submitted. The creation of a new procedure for the management of machines was the purpose of this article. Design/methodology/approach: A new procedure of equipment/machines management was elaborated based on analysis of norms requirements and the practical application of the TPM and WCM methodology. Selected infrastructure management methodologies are presented for specific work, losses and failures resulting from the use of machines and equipment in automotive company. Findings: The analysis of obtained results in the project management methodology (Total Productive Management, World Class Manufacturing: Early Equipment Management/ Professional Maintenance/Autonomous Maintenance) and selected points of norms (ISO 9001 and TS 16949) in relation to machines and equipment allowed to elaborate the procedure of equipment and machines management in order to prevent losses, deficiencies and failures in the automotive company. Practical implications: The practical application of TPM methodology, selected pillars of World Class Manufacturing, requirements of ISO 9001 norm allowed to improve the quality of machine and allowed to provide the reliability machines and equipment for uninterrupted production, resulting in reduced manufacturing costs. Originality/value: In the paper was created a new procedure, which was used in automotive company.
