In today's environment where competition is moving to global dimensions, businesses have to continuously increase their performance and efficiency. In production companies, performance and efficiency depend to a large extent on the machines used. It is important for enterprises to use their resources correctly and to ensure this, not to experience losses in production, to identify, measure, monitor and eliminate possible losses. At this point, the existing machine park should be used at the most optimal level. Businesses, which have to continuously increase their performance and thus their work efficiency, have to use these machines correctly as well as choosing the machines to be used in production. ISO 9001: 2015 Machine Operating Instructionsregulates the principles and responsibilities such as how to use the existing machines in an enterprise, how to use them, how to improve their performance, how to maintain them and how to intervene in case of a failure.
For each of the machines used in an enterprise, separate machine instructions must be prepared. Because the purpose and use of each machine is different. In this context, the frequency of use of each machine and the number of employees using these machines may be different. Accordingly, maintenance characteristics and periods may also be different. For this reason, each machine must have separate operating instructions arranged according to its specifications.
The first thing an enterprise needs to do is to make an inventory of its existing machines. In the files to be opened for each machine, whether this machine is purchased first-hand or second-hand, when it was taken, how long the machine was used in operation, the regular maintenance dates of the machine to date, the malfunctions of the machine to date and how these faults have been remedied and so on. information. In a sense, these files have a life history of the machine.
The operating instructions to be prepared must first include the features of this machine and describe its purpose. No machine should be allowed to be used beyond its intended purpose. In addition, no machine should be allowed to be used by persons who do not have the qualification and ability to use it. These two basic rules are important in order to obtain high performance from a machine and ensure its long life.
Machine use The instruction manual should then describe the operating steps in the most detailed manner. Even the simplest steps should be included in the instruction. Sometimes a simple but unnoticed step can cause major failures.
Another important part of the machine manual is related to maintenance. Daily maintenance and periodic maintenance of each machine must be performed without skipping. The most important feature of daily maintenance is keeping the machines clean and reviewing all safety rules. Regular maintenance should be done in the periods determined by the manufacturer.
