FIXING A PROBLEM

I was an engineer of machinery factory for two years before (PT Japan Servo Batam). And I know more about machinery fixing problem. I can only fix the computer or machine if I have already known what the main problem is. So the first step to do in fixing a machine is finding: “What is the main problem?” If I can’t find the problem, I can’t do machine fixing.

Sometime I only need to reset or change a line program inside (mind of the machine) and OK. Sometime I found some part defect or burn inside. I have to change the new part. But some time I can do nothing, the part I needed isn’t anymore in the market shop. The world is always changing, so the machine. There is always new machine made. It means, old machines and parts were not made anymore. When old machine can’t be fix than must be scrapped. My Manager recommended buying the new ones, its mean more money needed.

Sometime I found simple problem in the machine, small wire is loosing or wrong set number entry. For me or engineer, it’s a simple problem, but it seems huge problem for people who have the machine. They common people didn’t know the machine inside; even they work near the machine everyday.

Sometime I need to call my friends to help. I have already known the machine problem is. But I  can’t open the cap, the screw it too hard to open.

Sometime we called outside engineer from outside. The man who more familiar with that machine, a man from machine maker factory. He is from Singapore or Japan. The Factory must pay him more (hundreds million rupiah), for all accommodation needed.

That’s my experience in engineer job. And I think the same thing in common people life. So I use it everyday in every where. If we want to fix something, we have to know what the problem is.

To do so, we have to listen and watch carefully. We need need more time to get right and correct information. Sometime information we got, is not so clear whether right or wrong. Sometime people are giving information that is not right. He or she has purpose inside that is to cheat or other reason. Sometime we must do it again and again to get the best solution.
