European Approaches on the Concept of Lean Management

All aspects of Lean Management presented in this paper have attempted to show the size of an approach of the industrial performance in European companies. The myth created by the results in Japanese car companies Toyota has attracted the interest of many authors to this management system. In this paper, we propose to make a presentation of the contributions in the field, some of them, but also why the system was met with reluctance in this part of the world.lean management; car companies; European approach; production method.

The Modern Approach to Industrial Maintenance Management

The maintenance activity isn’t a purpose in itself, it’s a necessity of which "the production suffers" and the financial agent “considers too expensiveâ€. It often exists a conflict between the production units and the maintenance department, not only for a short term, but, sometimes, for a long term, imposing a rigorous definition of each person’s responsibilities. Considering the mutations in the industrial equipments’ technical complexity and the accidental failures’ catastrophic consequences from the economic and/or social point of view, it should be assigned a new dimension to the maintenance activity. One of the imperatives imposed to this action is represented by modern means of informing through the maintenance’s operational computerization.Maintenance’s Progress, Total Productive Maintenance, Cooperation In Maintenance, The Maintenance’s Costs Minimization, Maintenance’s Operational Computerization

The Management of the Industrial Maintenance at an International Level (II)

When defining a maintenance policy, it must be held in mind the fact that there isn’t such a thing like “good maintenance policy” in itself; instead, for each industrial equipment should be adapted a particular maintenance method, coming to a technical-economic compromise through its products, through its market, its equipments, its people, the managers’ psychology, the organizational culture and, as a consequence, the industrial maintenance will be different. The present article will pursue to highlight the position of the maintenance activity having in mind the imperatives imposed to this activity, the maintenance methods applied at the international level and the methods that can be applied in our country.maintenance mission; corrective maintenance; systematic preventive maintenance; conditional preventive maintenance; palliative maintenance.
