Smooth understanding of equipment planning! Reducing the burden on staff through the efficiency of maintenance operations.
We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of the equipment maintenance system "MENTENA" at Hokkaido Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., which is engaged in the research, manufacturing, and sales of wood-based adhesives.
The company faced challenges such as wanting to reduce the workload of equipment maintenance requests that were cumbersome and finding it difficult to manage the progress of work requested from partner companies, as well as to grasp the volume of requests and work schedules.
As a result, after a trial, a smooth system implementation was achieved. After the implementation, the understanding of equipment plans, including regular maintenance, also became smoother.
[Challenges]
- Maintenance requests from within the company were made via written documents or phone calls, requiring the content to be re-entered into the management system to create work instructions, resulting in double work.
- Since the work instructions for equipment were paper-based, managing request history took time, and human errors such as loss of instructions occurred.
- It was difficult to manage the progress of work requested from partner companies and to grasp the volume of requests and work schedules.
