How the Plant Wellness Way Delivers You a Powerful and Successful Industrial Operational Excellence Solution

To help explain the life cycle, business-wide perspective that Plant Wellness Way (PWW) covers we use the acronym FORTUNE (because that is what you get when you use PWW to create Operational Excellence):

1. Fix the problem not minimize its symptoms
2. Optimize the operational value-adding streams with plant and equipment risk elimination
3. Remove all enterprise asset failures with best failure prevention practices
4. T4 quality of an Accuracy Controlled Enterprise (T4 = Target-Tolerance-Test-Time)
5. Use precision maintenance and precision operation with all physical assets
6. Numerate how to achieve Operational Excellence using the IONICS six-step process
   1. Identify business and operational risks
   2. Order risks by importance
   3. Numerate risk reduction options
   4. Introduce risk control solutions
   5. Control operational processes
   6. Synthesize new ideas for continuous improvement
7. Expose the hidden wealth from your new Operational Excellence company

The Plant Wellness Way to Operational Excellence changes your company into a world class business.

• Where once you lived with operational and maintenance problems by minimizing the effect of their symptoms—PWW completely removes their cause.
• The work-arounds you did in the past to keep production going can be done away with because production troubles evaporate.
• What was once 'acceptable' levels of equipment failure will no longer apply as repeat equipment failures disappear.
• The poor quality products you had to accept no longer cause strife and rework because you gain complete control over unwanted variation.
• Your maintenance system starts to work properly and your equipment breakdowns, stoppages and outages quickly stop occurring.
• You will know exactly how your operation is performing now, and how it is going to perform in future, with insightful measures and tracking.
• The operating profits now lost and wasted, that are considered to be 'part of doing business', will be recovered and become your new operating profits.

IONICS identifies operational and project risks and proactively addresses them with great risk reduction practices

IONICS provides a means to identify the problems and ensure the successful integration of new practices and procedures into companies

IONICS starts with an overall Value Stream Map and drills down through successive operating levels of your business for a coordinated multi-layered level attack on your operating and business risk

IONICS allows our PWW Operational Excellence project manager to achieve balanced progress toward your company's operational improvement goals so we can ensure completion of your project to schedule. This integrated implementation of change lets us: (1) prevent bottlenecking at difficult Operational Excellence improvement project stages, (2) coordinate risk abatement between the multiple levels of the project so all project activities progress on time, and (3) balance progress rate with available resources to control your Operational Excellence project costs.

IONICS integrates the implementation of your new Operational Excellence changes by identifying all project activities and delivering controlled, balanced progress to their accomplishment. The thorough investigation and work done at each step of IONICS allows us to customize the analysis and project planning to identify powerful risk abatement strategies and practices that ensure successful risk reduction in your operation and its work practices.
