When it comes to maintenance, we all know that this is a professional thing, when it comes to equipment, it needs to be overhauled and maintained, and generally the equipment maintenance work is regarded as technical work, because they know a lot of professional skills, and they are also fitters who were once proud, but the times have changed, and the technology of skilled workers is no longer the ability to survive, but also because of technology, and has become a coolie worker who only knows how to work all day long.

On the contrary, in today's days, when it comes to maintenance workers, everyone's first reaction is that they are bitter, dirty, tired, low wages, and low status.

In the past, the maintenance business of many enterprises, most of them were outsourced, or done by cooperative workers, why, because of the hard work, high risk factor, everyone is unwilling to use their own regular workers to do such work, generally professional contractors, they also have a lot of maintenance workers, although they are skilled workers, but often are not respected and treated. After all, most of these workers are elderly and have some skills, but in the end, they can only be regarded as coolie workers, and they can be replaced by a random person.

Production can be automated, mechanized, but the maintenance must be manual, manual, any intelligence, automation, can not replace the maintenance of manpower, after all, intelligent equipment, or have to rely on manual maintenance, maintenance.

Although it is an indispensable position, but because it is not valued, even if it is not outsourced, it is done by its own workers, in contrast, the hardness of the work is also the highest, and the income is often the lowest, and most of them have become meaningless coolies, in the management can not keep up, technology can not meet today, a lot of maintenance is actually the biggest waste, it stands to reason that the normal production of equipment should be able to ensure the normal operation of production, maintenance is the most should not be busy every day, but the truth is the opposite in many places。

Overhaul is often to deal with equipment accident failures, or normal ** or shutdown maintenance, should not have endless work every day, installed today, dismantled tomorrow, changed the day after tomorrow and reinstalled, has become the norm of a lot of maintenance work, because there is no standard for maintenance, there is no basic judgment of equipment operating conditions, many are blind maintenance, thinking that as long as the daily maintenance, every day work, is to do a good job.

In the case of the implementation of human resource optimization in all regions, let everyone work non-stop every day, constantly increase tasks, constantly increase the intensity of assessment, and constantly create problems to deal with problems, has become the normal state of equipment maintenance in many enterprises, production can be said, according to the process, in accordance with the assembly line, it is considered that no one is idle, so once the equipment is normal every day, then the person responsible for equipment management means that there is nothing to do, and it has become another important factor that a lot of maintenance is carried out endlessly.

The same work is repeated repeatedly, constantly overhauled, but does not improve the efficiency of equipment operation, does not make the operation of equipment more secure, just a gratuitous waste of manpower, materials, and finally can not find the real reason in the face of huge losses, meaningless work, is the biggest waste, not only that, a lot of work, only need to contribute, is no longer a kind of technical improvement and investment. In the case that management cannot be improved, no improvement, no change, no improvement, no improvement, no reason, repeated work and work, in the end, maintenance workers can only become a job that only needs physical strength.
