The development and application of automation and intelligent technology has greatly accelerated the development of the pharmaceutical industry. At present, there is a certain lag in the management of pharmaceutical equipment and facilities in my country, and there are corresponding problems in management methods and models. Although many pharmaceutical companies have spent a lot of money to import pharmaceutical equipment from abroad, they have wasted too much manpower and resources in post-management. Pharmaceutical machinery and equipment have an important impact on the pharmaceutical production of pharmaceutical companies. By improving the performance of equipment and the utilization of raw materials, the production efficiency and quality of pharmaceuticals can be greatly improved; only by adopting scientific and reasonable management measures can the equipment fully play its role.
Pharmaceutical equipment is an important part of pharmaceutical production and one of the most important fixed asset investments for pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, scientific and effective management of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment is one of the most important tasks for pharmaceutical companies, because it is crucial to the sustainable development of enterprises and the maximization of production potential.
Part 1 The Main Objectives Of The Scientific Management Of Pharmaceutical Machinery And Equipment
High-quality pharmaceutical machinery and equipment play an important role in improving the market share and competitiveness of pharmaceutical companies. Realizing the scientific, reasonable and standardized management of machinery and equipment in pharmaceutical enterprises is an important way to improve the economic benefits of enterprises. Scientific management is mainly reflected in the following two points:
- Establish and improve relevant management systems, establish a scientific mechanical equipment management model, effectively unify and improve the management system, and realize the standardized development of pharmaceutical companies. The establishment of a planning management system can effectively curb the sloppy and random phenomena in the production of enterprises. On the one hand, it can improve the production efficiency of the enterprise; on the other hand, the production in a safe and efficient environment can also improve the production quality of the enterprise.
- Establish a scientific and standardized management system with company employees as the main body. As an important productivity of an enterprise, employee productivity also plays a vital role in improving the economic benefits of the entire enterprise. Therefore, before the employee enters the job, the enterprise must carry out comprehensive vocational training for the new employee to ensure that the employee can complete the work effectively and reliably after improving their professional quality, comprehensive quality and operational skills. At the same time, pharmaceutical companies must also increase the personal awareness of their employees. Only by organically combining corporate standards with employees’ personal awareness can the company’s production efficiency be ensured.
Part 2 Problems In The Scientific Management Of Pharmaceutical Machinery And Equipment
- The management mechanism needs to be improved. Due to the defects in the current domestic pharmaceutical equipment management, the operation and use efficiency of various machines in pharmaceutical companies is low. Many pharmaceutical companies have not established special accounts and technical files for the machines that manage device data, and newly introduced pharmaceutical devices have not been properly handled, causing the devices to often be used inappropriately, causing problems. In addition, once such equipment breaks down, enterprises cannot repair and maintain it in time, which greatly shortens the service life and use effect of the equipment.
- Equipment management has not attracted enough attention from enterprises. At present, the main reason for many poor equipment management is that pharmaceutical companies do not pay enough attention to equipment management. First, some pharmaceutical companies still lack awareness of management and maintenance, resulting in frequent failures of mechanical equipment; second, some pharmaceutical companies lack the ability to manage various equipment, and the management personnel in the enterprise lack high-level professional knowledge and management capabilities.
- The professional quality of management personnel needs to be further improved. Some pharmaceutical equipment technologies are already mature, and managers must also have a corresponding high level of professional knowledge. However, professional equipment management talents in my country’s pharmaceutical industry are still relatively scarce. In addition, many managers do not have a clear understanding of the professional handling of mechanical equipment, and there is a certain lag in management. In addition, many factors such as cost, technology and manpower have caused many pharmaceutical companies to limit their control of machinery and equipment to specific events, lack of sufficient research and understanding of comprehensive management theory and management techniques, and lack of innovation in management. Some administrators have the concept of “if there is an accident, repair it and ignore it”, which has a serious adverse effect on the service life of the equipment.
- The replacement of equipment is slow. Due to financial constraints, many pharmaceutical companies do not pay enough attention to the timely replacement of equipment. This increases the maintenance frequency of equipment, which not only affects the production efficiency of drugs, but also makes the production economic benefits of enterprises drop significantly. This is because in the management process, the management and workload of old equipment are relatively high, which does not help to improve management quality and production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary for pharmaceutical companies to allocate funds for the purchase of new equipment and materials.
Part 3 Strategies For Scientific Management Of Pharmaceutical Machinery And Equipment
With the development of the pharmaceutical industry and the advancement of technology, the corresponding pharmaceutical equipment is also constantly improving, and new pharmaceutical equipment continues to emerge. Pharmaceutical companies also need to invest more energy in the management of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment, and technicians need to fully understand the information and scientific management methods of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment, so that they can be targeted in the process of equipment management. The scientific management methods recommended in this article are as follows:
- Develop standards and guidelines. With the development of various science and technology, equipment management has also begun to form a “standardized model”, which has been widely used in pharmaceutical companies. First of all, we should seek truth from facts, according to the current situation of mechanical equipment management, adapt measures to local conditions, and establish a scientific and perfect management system. Secondly, abide by the rules, combine the specific practice of mechanical equipment management, formulate scientific equipment management standards, improve the scientific management plan of mechanical equipment of enterprises, and improve the daily management level of equipment.
- Conduct people assessments and mindset shifts. Adopting a reasonable job evaluation system for pharmaceutical machinery and equipment managers can greatly improve the enthusiasm of managers, significantly reduce equipment losses and energy consumption, prevent equipment failures, and avoid excessive investment in equipment maintenance. performance is critical. Obviously, establishing a sound pharmaceutical enterprise employee management training and assessment system plays an important role in improving the management level of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment. In addition, as part of the evaluation, pharmaceutical companies also need to guide employees to change their concepts, so that employees learn to look at the management of machinery and equipment from different perspectives, so as to promote the improvement of management quality. The scientific nature of the management concept of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment determines the manager’s work behavior, “quality first, management first” – this is the work concept that needs to be fully implemented in the management process. By changing the evaluation system and concept, the efficiency of equipment management can be significantly improved.
- Pay attention to the prevention and maintenance of equipment. For a long time, many pharmaceutical companies in my country have not paid enough attention to the prevention of equipment failures. Most companies take measures after equipment failures, and all maintenance work is carried out after failures occur. According to modern management concepts, early maintenance can no longer meet the needs of pharmaceutical companies. As we all know, pharmaceutical companies are actually an efficient industry, and pharmaceutical companies must take cost-effectiveness as the goal of mechanical equipment management in order to improve the ultimate revenue of the company. Adopting a “fix beforehand” strategy will help businesses resolve issues as quickly as possible. Pre-maintenance refers to taking preventive measures before failures occur. It is necessary to choose advanced scientific and technological means, monitor various equipment structures in time, scientifically diagnose and eliminate existing equipment failures, and plan troubleshooting in a timely manner. The transformation from after-sales service to pre-sales service is an important development direction for pharmaceutical companies in the field of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment management in the future. After-sales service is actually a strategy of mending after a dead sheep, a “passive” management mode, which will lead to the interruption of the entire equipment production line and the production of a large number of substandard drugs, causing huge losses to the enterprise. Pre-maintenance is a proactive measure, which can prevent failures before they occur, solve the failure problem as soon as possible, effectively reduce the possibility of equipment failure, and ensure the smooth operation of the entire production process.
- Carry out technology introduction and model innovation. Economic globalization means that China’s pharmaceutical industry must be upgraded to a higher level. Only in this way can we gain an advantage in the fierce international competition and at the same time build a national pharmaceutical brand. Informatization is a new concept in the 21st century, which contains many modern ideas. The introduction of advanced computer technology into the equipment management of pharmaceutical companies can make up for the lack of manual inspection, improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis, and greatly facilitate subsequent maintenance. Through internal information management, pharmaceutical companies can establish a large database in drug production, and when equipment fails or is repaired, data can be obtained at any time to improve the repair rate of mechanical equipment.
Overall, the scientific management of pharmaceutical machinery and equipment plays an important role in the development of enterprises. Scientific and standardized equipment management concept is an important driving force for enterprise development. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies need to improve the quality of daily staff, further standardize the management system, and keep the technology iteratively updated. This is not only conducive to the scientific management of pharmaceutical machinery for enterprises, but also beneficial to the future development of the entire pharmaceutical industry.
