The success and profitability of a ginning operation is determined by the effectiveness of its machinery maintenance programme. A comprehensive gin maintenance programme impacts safety, fibre quality, daily and annual volume, downtime energy costs andmaterial and labour maintenance costs etc. A good gin maintenance programme involves continual documentation, communication and planning. Each employ must communicate the needs and benefits of the programme.
