Why doesn't the factory buy spare patch heads
Whether it is a large factory or a small enterprise, there are almost no spare placement heads or the phenomenon of incomplete spare placement heads is common. When the placement head is abnormally shut down, the maintenance time is often longer, which has a huge impact on production capacity. If urgent orders cannot be delivered in time, the trust of customers will also be reduced, and the order may even be lost. So, why do factories prefer to invest tens of millions or even over 100 million in equipment, but ignore the importance of spare placement heads?
According to our years of industry experience and exchanges with domestic and foreign customers, they think that the price of a patch head is between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan, although it is not expensive. However, the value of a spare placement head may not be apparent when the machine is running normally. This kind of thinking is actually a small account and a big loss of value. In fact, the placement head also needs maintenance, and it runs 24 hours a day, so prepare more placement heads for alternate use to achieve the best efficiency. In addition, if the placement head of a machine is damaged and the production capacity is lost, the placement head needs to be purchased to replace it, and there is a risk of losing orders due to failure to deliver on time. If these losses are calculated, the factory will find that the calculation is not right.
So why didn't the factory pay attention to these details?
The main reason is that the equipment technology department did not communicate the importance of spare placement heads and the potential risk of losing orders to higher-level leaders. The factory leaders lack the understanding of the spare placement head, they may not realize the importance and influence of the placement head in the production process.
However, if the importance of spare placement heads can be clearly explained to the factory leaders, they will definitely understand the reason. First of all, the spare placement head can avoid excessive downtime caused by damage to the placement head, thereby reducing the loss of production capacity. This is critical to the productivity of the factory, ensuring that orders are delivered on time, enhancing customer trust and avoiding the risk of lost orders.
Secondly, the use of spare placement heads can realize the rotation and maintenance of placement heads, and keep the equipment in the best operating condition. The placement head will wear out in the case of continuous operation for 24 hours. If there is no spare placement head for alternate use, the life of the placement head will be shortened, which will increase more frequent maintenance and higher maintenance costs.
By clearly explaining the importance of spare heads and the potential risk of lost orders to factory leaders, it can help them realize the importance of this detail for production efficiency and customer satisfaction. The factory can consider purchasing an appropriate amount of spare placement heads to ensure the smooth operation of the production process and avoid unnecessary loss of production capacity and loss of orders. Such an investment will bring long-term benefits and a competitive advantage to the plant.
Therefore, factories should pay attention to the purchase and use of spare placement heads, and incorporate them into production plans and budgets. The factory can establish a good cooperative relationship with suppliers to ensure timely and reliable supply and delivery of spare placement heads. In addition, the factory should also regularly check and maintain the placement head, and replace the severely worn placement head in time to prolong its service life and ensure production quality.
In addition, the factory can also consider implementing a preventive maintenance program to reduce the possibility of damage and failure of the placement head through regular maintenance and maintenance. This reduces the risk of production interruptions and increases productivity and stability.
In short, the importance of spare placement heads in factory production cannot be ignored. By recognizing the role and risks of spare placement heads, and taking corresponding measures and strategies, factories can effectively reduce the risk of lost orders, improve production efficiency and quality, and maintain a competitive advantage.
