World-class Performance Starts with People

High equipment reliability is essentially a maintenance quality assurance issue. You get the highest equipment reliability by using operational risk management during design, combined with precision manufacture, precision installation, precision maintenance and precision operation.

If you cannot influence equipment design, then you need to use world-class maintenance management solutions and build the right skills and processes to guarantee maintenance quality assurance.

You get high equipment reliability, high plant availability and low maintenance costs with the right maintenance quality assurance and reliability mindsets, coupled to sound maintenance management solutions and systems.

The simple model above shows you what to focus on if you want to move your operation toward world-class industrial maintenance performance. First work on the minds, hearts, and spirit of your people. Base the changes on the true plant maintenance performance measures. Start by getting their hearts, minds and souls to want to deliver world-class industrial maintenance performance. It will then be inevitable, because they will introduce the maintenance management solutions and maintenance quality assurance methods to do so.

Total Productive Maintenance: Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is an equipment management program that emphasises operator involvement and ownership of equipment performance. The goals of a TPM program are to maximise equipment productivity, maximise equipment availability and make quality product by eliminating causes of equipment defects, losses and wastes through expanding and engage the knowledge, skills and abilities of the front-line people running the process. This 85-slide PowerPoint presentation will help you to investigate if the introduction of TPM will help you reduce lost time on operating equipment to a tune of 30% or better. This is typical for plants who do not already have advanced Preventive Maintenance and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) practices in place. This PowerPoint will also help to ensure you meet the requirements for a successful TPM introduction to your facility. Improve your understanding of TPM with the Total Productive Maintenance Powerpoints.

Production Risk Management with Equipment Criticality: Immediately improve your maintenance and production performance by identifying and classifying your plant and equipment in order of importance to the success of your operation. Those items of plant that are more important than others receive a matching level of maintenance care. This way you make sure your money is spent on the highest proirity equipment with the biggest pay-off to your business. Learn to select the right maintenance management strategies that will automatically deliver the equipment reliability, production performance and maintenance cost reductions you need! To accurately and reliably gauge and rate the importance of your plant and equipment to your business buy and use the Production Risk Management Using Equipment Criticality Analysis ebook.

How to Really Make Standard Operating Procedures Work for You: It is a strategic task of maintenance and production management to give the people on the 'shop floor' the right knowledge to become the very best operators and maintainers they can be. It is they who have to deliver the maintenance strategy to the plant and equipment! A great way to pass the operators and maintainers the skills and knowledge that give them the power to achieve world-class production performance is through using standard operating procedures (SOP) with check steps. Take a look at a new and unique way of doing Training and Development With Standard Operating Procedures.

Focus Operations and Maintenance Performance with Key Performance Indicators: Another quick way to develop people is through using key performance indicators (KPI) in your operation. With them your people can manage themselves and their actions. KPI's will let you and your people measure current production performance and set new targets to aim for in the future. Using KPI's will gradually change people's thinking and habits. They will come to understand what they must do to master their equipment and production processes. You and your people develop your own KPI's together. They must be meaningful to the users if you want ownership. Learn how to develop relevant, meaningful and truly useful KPI's by using the Business Strategy Management with KPI. ebook

Best Practice Industrial Maintenance Training to Lift Work Force Competency: To make lasting, long-term production performance improvements and get reduced maintenance costs in your operation, train your people to be truly competent and recognise and solve equipment reliability problems themselves.

Learn how to find and get rid of the repetitive problems that keep coming back time after time. Spot recurring problems and fix them for good by finding the root causes! Sometimes you need to be sly and creative in looking for evidence of root cause problems. You may have to develop methods to classify work orders into types so the root causes jump out at you. Get more information on how to analyse maintenance work orders so you can get rid of root cause problems and boost equipment reliability from the Discover the Goldmine in Your Maintenance Work Order System Through Analysis ebook.

Discover Your True Total Lost Production Down Time Costs: Every stoppage causes lost production. Each lost production incident is far, far more expensive, terribly more expensive, than you realise. Your accounting system does not even come close to pricing the total, true value of a lost production incident to your business. It does not matter why production stopped, every minute of lost production is costing your business hugely. You can now identify the total true down time cost to your operation and justify spending the money to fix the problems that cause production loss once and for all. Read the Down Time Cost Analysis ebook and find-out the terrible truth of your production loss incidents.

New Way to Defect Elimination and Failure Prevention - The Accuracy Control Enterprise: Until every standard operating procedure task (SOP) contains 'the 3T's of defect elimination and failure prevention' you have no sure method of delivering defect elimination and failure prevention in your operation. When you incorporate accuracy-controlled practices into every step of every operating and maintenance procedure will you be able to guarantee top quality workmanship and spot-on results from everyone. Read the Accuracy Controlled Enterprise ebook and discover how to become an ACE by using the 3T's of failure prevention - Target, Tolerance, Test - to guarantee defect elimination and deliver certain production risk control everytime.

The Total Cost Way of Making Better Risk Based Decisions: The risk equation, Risk = Chance x Consequences, must be accurate when you use it to make risk management decisions and equipment criticality decisions. The true cost of failure is the figure to use for the 'Consequences' value in the risk equation. Your failure consequences must be fully-costed otherwise you under-rate the real cost of risk to your operation. Without knowing the defect and failure true cost (the DAFT Cost) you cannot make the right choices and so you will not properly control your business risk. The added benefit of knowing the full cost of failure is that you can justify higher expenditure to control the risk of failure. Read the Defect and Failure True Cost ebook and learn how to cost the total true cost of risk to your operation.
