Introduction


A stitch in time saves nine


Toll is the key to keep machine productive and proper/ effectivetools helps to reduce machine down time. Where as technological tools not onlyhelp to maintain production but also control quality production with in qualitylimits and its very true in Spinning. Only one bobbin out of its qualitylimits out of millions bobbins can down grade/reject product in down streamprocess.

Maintenance is the key point to keep production and qualityup-to mark and remain competitive. For its proper and up-to date technologicaltools are must, not only must but also to use them properly and timely.Man behind gun with full of skill and patience is very muchimportant in this respect.


Poor maintenance is one of the major causes for low yarn andfabric quality. In fact, maintenance contributes as much to the quality ofproduction as modernization of machines. Good maintenance also ensures longlife to machine parts, prevents deterioration in quality and productivity overlong period of time, provided good working conditions and eliminates the causesof accidents. On the other hand, the cost of good maintenance is not much. Ithas been noticed that there is not much difference in expenditure between wellmaintained and poorly maintained mills.


However, unlike other areas of managerial activity such asmodernization, good maintenance depends not on a single decision of the topmanagement but on the co-operation of management, supervisory staff andworkers. It is the responsibility of the management to provide the necessaryfacilities and materials and introduce a well thought-out system ofmaintenance. This has to be implemented with competence and conscientiousnessby the departmental staff as well as the workers concerned. It means successfulmaintenance is the result of a large number of small decisions taken at variouslevels and their consistent implementation.
