碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 103 === The competence of an enterprise is determined by its internal communication efficiency, product quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. For achieving better production management, it is necessary to increase productivity, improve product quality and reduce costs. Except the above-mentioned factors, another important consideration for an engine overhaul company is how to reduce lead time to customer and let them can on-time install engine to running. The engine price of Airbus 320, the most popular airplane in 2014, is about USD 10,000,000. For Aviation companies, controlling cash flow by reducing engine stock and by increasing engine’s utilization rate is thus critical. The AT Company was founded in Taiwan more than 20 years ago. However, some of their core machines cannot be replaced for some reasons. It is a challenge for the production unit of AT Company to use the tools of total production management to perform preventive management on machines with unplanned downtime, core machines and share resources. This research uses tools of lean process to solve unplanned down time issue by categorized equipment, build up daily walk around list and D.I.V.E.（Define、Investigate、Verify、Ensure）. This thesis uses AT company’s vacuum furnace as an example to introduce D.I.V.E. tools to reduce the risk of machine stop due to aging and provide teaching guidance for the enterprise when they promote the lean processes.
