Beyond Rituals: Why Agile Training Must Focus on Mindset and Culture

On May 20, 2026, PT Torishima Pump Manufacturing Indonesia and PT Geteka Founindo launched an Agile Training program to move beyond “Doing Agile” (performing rituals like daily stand-ups) toward “Being Agile.” Many organizations struggle with slow execution despite adopting these frameworks because they fail to align methodology with cultural transformation.

More Than Just a Technical Framework

In collaboration with Torishima Pump Japan, our training emphasizes shifting from a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset—treating failure as data for continuous improvement. Agile is not just about task management; it is about trusting people, breaking down silos, and responding rapidly to change.

The Three Pillars of Agile Culture

To overcome resistance, Agile training must focus on three fundamental shifts:

  1. Servant Leadership: Moving from “Command & Control” to empowering teams to make decisions at the operational level.

  2. Psychological Safety: Creating an environment where employees can experiment and speak honestly without fear.

  3. Customer-Centricity: Shifting focus from departmental tasks to delivering maximum value to the customer.

Cultural Transformation Matrix

Old Culture Agile Intervention New Culture
Bureaucratic/Slow Empowering self-organizing teams Agile & Adaptive
Blame Culture Objective Retrospectives Innovative & Bold
Silo Mentality Cross-functional alignment Transparent & Collaborative
Rigid Planning Iterative market responsiveness Resilient

 

Conclusion: Agile transformation is a cultural journey, not just a project management implementation. By focusing on mindset, we build a resilient, adaptive organization ready to lead in an uncertain market.

Vibration and Noise? Know the Causes and Solution

Industrial pumps that vibrate and make loud noises not only disrupt operations but can also be an early indication of damage to the system. Therefore, it is very important to identify and understand the causes and solutions to these problems to maintain performance and extend the service life of the pump.

What are the main causes?

  1. Misalignment, occurs when the pump shaft and motor are not aligned, causing imbalance that triggers excessive vibration.
  2. Cavitation, which occurs when the pressure of a liquid falls below its vapor pressure, producing air bubbles that then burst and cause a loud noise.
  3. Unbalance in the impeller, which can be caused by dirt, wear, mechanical damage, or manufacturing defects that cause uneven centrifugal force.
  4. Bearing failure, due to inadequate lubrication or wear due to age, resulting in high friction and noisy sounds.
  5. Loose parts, caused by loose bolts, mounts, or other components, resulting in additional vibration when the pump is operating.
  6. Hydraulic issues, caused by turbulent flow, where the pump operates far from the Best Efficiency Point (BEP), or head that is too high/low.

So, what can be done to solve this problem?

  1. Regular/periodic alignment checks of the pump using a Dial Indicator Gauge/Taper Gauge to ensure that the pump shaft and motor are aligned.
  2. Ensure that the suction head (NPSHa) is sufficient to prevent the pressure from falling below the vapor pressure. Avoid narrowing the flow path on the suction side. Ensure that the pump does not operate outside its design limits.
  3. Clean the impeller of debris and deposits on a regular basis. If necessary, replace the impeller if it has suffered physical damage.
  4. Replace bearings according to the maintenance schedule, use the appropriate lubricant, and inspect them regularly, as well as monitor temperature and vibration as early indicators of damage.
  5. Tighten loose components and inspect the condition of the support structure. Replace worn components before they cause further damage.
  6. Ensure the pump operates near the Best Efficiency Point (BEP). Evaluate the piping system to ensure smooth and efficient flow.

Vibration and noise in industrial pumps are generally caused by mechanical factors such as misalignment, cavitation, unbalanced impellers, bearing wear, loose or detached pump components, and hydraulic problems. By implementing routine maintenance, monitoring operational conditions, and applying appropriate technical measures, the risk of damage can be minimized and pump performance can be kept at an optimal level.

Be sure to choose a pump that suits your operational needs. Torishima offers a wide range of industrial pumps for various needs. For more detailed information about our products, visit our website torishima.co.id

E-Waste Management Process | Safe Recycling & Disposal

Referring to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry’s regulation regarding the management of specific waste (e-waste or electronic waste) in Government Regulation No. 27 of 2020, the government divides this into two categories: reduction and handling. The specific waste or electronic waste reduction program is implemented through several methods: limiting specific waste generation, recycling specific waste, and reusing specific waste. Meanwhile, handling involves sorting, collecting, transporting, processing, and final processing.

Electronic waste or e-waste has the potential to be reused or even resold. With current technological advances, the materials contained in used electronic devices can be recovered. In practice, PT Torishima Pump Mfg. Indonesia has provided drop boxes/e-waste boxes for the collection of used electronic devices, such as cellphones, CDs, batteries, power banks, etc. These used electronic devices will then be recycled by PT Torishima Pump Mfg. Indonesia in collaboration with partners.

By implementing this e-waste box, PT Torishima Pump Mfg. Indonesia hopes to participate in collaborating in implementing the recycling program by not throwing away electronic waste carelessly but sending it to the trash can or drop box that has been provided.

New Product Release : VS4 Pump

A VS4 pump, also known as a “Vertical Sump Pump Type 4,” is a specific type of centrifugal pump used primarily in industrial applications. These pumps are designed to handle the transfer of liquids from sumps, pits, tanks, or other reservoirs that are below ground level.

 

Product Advantages:

Specific Design: Vertical sump pumps are specifically designed for use in deep sumps or pits.

Efficient Space Usage: Vertical sump pumps use space more efficiently. They are placed directly inside the sump or pit, eliminating the need for additional external housing or structures. In contrast, common centrifugal pumps may require larger external housings.

Handling of Sludge and Solids: Vertical sump pumps typically have better capabilities for handling sludge, sediment, or solid materials in fluids because they are located at the bottom of the sump or pit.

Better Sediment Control: Vertical sump pumps have an advantage in preventing sedimentation or settling at the bottom of the sump or pit since they pump from the very bottom.

Easier Maintenance: Because vertical sump pumps are placed inside the sump or pit, they are generally easier to access and maintain compared to common centrifugal pumps, which might be located in external housings.

Emergency Response Plan

Emergency Response Plan – Risk factors related to company operations will always accompany and need to get serious attention from all parties. Risks such as fires and explosions due to errors in operating procedures that occur in the work environment will be serious threats that must be responded to.

Therefore, emergency response plan is a mandatory thing to be developed in the company to anticipate losses due to disasters that for some reason can be uncontrollable. To overcome this, a proper ERP management system is needed. ERP (Emergency Response Plan) is a system that combines several departments and employee participation to deal with the disaster.
