Satu Kajian Amalan Penyelenggaraan Pencegahan di Organisasi Pembuatan PKS Malaysia
Keywords:
Preventive, Maintenance, SMEs, Performance, ManufacturingAbstract
Maintenance of machines has become critical aspect in the manufacturing environment. The new technology leads to lesser maintenance works which can improve daily operations and production. Maintenance programs must be given a priority in order to prevent unscheduled production stoppages. Preventive maintenance can help to avoid any potential stoppages and disruptions of equipment from occurring in their daily operations. Preventive maintenance (PM), utilises total employee involvement in the maintenance activities. Operators and all employees should be actively involved in a maintenance programme to avoid any disruptions, breakdowns, stoppages and failures. Thus, the involvement in maintenance programs can help to improve manufacturing performance. In the highly competitive manufacturing industries, the ability and reliability of equipment that well-maintained is very important in order to achieve desired performance. Some studies argue that further research is required in the area of maintenance and operations management. This study investigates the extent of PM practices in the Malaysian Small and Medium Enterprises manufacturing organizations and the relationship between PM practices and performance. The hypotheses were analysed using Smart PLS and some important findings were discussed. The results imply that PM practices significantly improved manufacturing performance. For instance, PM strategy was positively and significantly related to financial, innovation and organizational capabilities. Few insignificant findings found, i.e. planned maintenance is insignificant with financial and organizational capabilities.
Penyelenggaraan mesin telah menjadi aspek kritikal dalam persekitaran pembuatan. Teknologi baru membawa kepada kerja-kerja penyelenggaraan yang lebih rendah yang dapat meningkatkan operasi dan pengeluaran harian. Program penyelenggaraan mesti diberikan keutamaan untuk mengelakkan penghentian pengeluaran yang tidak berjadual. Penyelenggaraan pencegahan boleh membantu mengelakkan sebarang halangan dan gangguan peralatan yang mungkin berlaku dalam operasi harian mereka. Penyelenggaraan pencegahan (PM), menggunakan jumlah penglibatan pekerja dalam aktiviti penyelenggaraan. Pengendali dan semua pekerja harus terlibat secara aktif dalam program penyelenggaraan untuk mengelakkan sebarang gangguan, kerosakan, stoppages dan kegagalan. Oleh itu, penglibatan dalam program penyelenggaraan dapat membantu meningkatkan prestasi pembuatan. Dalam industri perkilangan yang sangat berdaya saing, keupayaan dan kebolehpercayaan peralatan yang terpelihara dengan baik adalah sangat penting untuk mencapai prestasi yang diinginkan. Sesetengah kajian berpendapat bahawa penyelidikan lanjut diperlukan dalam bidang pengurusan penyelenggaraan dan operasi. Kajian ini menyiasat tahap amalan PM dalam organisasi perkilangan Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana Malaysia dan hubungan antara amalan dan prestasi PM. Hipotesis dianalisis menggunakan Smart PLS dan beberapa penemuan penting dibincangkan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahawa PM mengamalkan prestasi perkilangan yang lebih baik. Sebagai contoh, strategi PM secara positif dan signifikan berkaitan dengan keupayaan kewangan, inovasi dan organisasi. Beberapa penemuan tidak penting yang ditemui, iaitu penyelenggaraan yang dirancang tidak penting dengan keupayaan kewangan dan organisasi.
