Implementation of Technosphere and Fire Safety Program (TFSP) to Increase Production Efficiency and Minimize Losses

Abstract

Technosphere and Fire Safety Program (TFSP) is a production program whose main goal is to achieve maximum compliance with environmental laws, meet the requirements of safety standards and norms, maintain production equipment throughout its entire life cycle by engaging and motivating participation in this program throughout work force. The main three goals of the TFSP are: minimization of manufacturing defects, breakdowns and emergencies. According to this program, these goals can be achieved by taking measures aimed at improving the efficiency of equipment, creating an autonomous maintenance program, creating a planned maintenance system, organizing training courses for workers and developing an enterprise management system. The article considers the possibility of introducing technosphere and fire safety programs (TFSP) in industry. At the first stage, possible losses and factors contributing to these losses were determined. The general indicators of technosphere safety are affected by eight major production losses associated with equipment, which include equipment breakdowns, adjustment and commissioning, component replacement, production line start-up, idling, speed, manufacturing defects, and unplanned shutdowns. At the second stage of the introduction of the TFSP, a scheduled maintenance program was proposed with the aim of creating a smooth production process with minimizing technosphere risks.
