CMMS Continuous Improvement Implementation
Many organisations introduce a CMMS system and run with the same data for years and years, not making any adjustments. So what is wrong with this approach you may ask? Well, plain and simple, the CMMS should continually evolve, just as performance targets, departments, machines and personnel continually evolve.
Over the years some of the following changes may become apparent:
- Certain assets have their service contracts cancelled and are now maintained in-house
- New equipment has been purchased and needs maintenance routines written
- The department structure has been changed and the maintenance schedule is no longer realistic
- Trade splits are now being phased out and everyone is being trained to become multi-skilled
- Maintenance routines need to be re-addressed due to the age or reliability of the machine
- Criticality of the machine changes over time
These are just some of the scenarios which may occur and decrease the efficiency of your maintenance routine.
What can Strategic Maintenance Planning do for you?
- Strategic Maintenance Planning can carry out an audit of your system, be it HolisTechTM or any CMMS.
- Strategic Maintenance Planning will analyse your system, measure your performance and then make recommendations.
- Strategic Maintenance Planning will then assist your organisation in executing these recommendations in order to increase the efficiency of your organisation.
- Strategic Maintenance Planning will ensure you have Key Performance Indicators put in place and that these can be used to monitor and measure performance for your maintenance function.
- Strategic Maintenance Planning will work in partnership with your team to develop policies and strategies to ensure efficient and effective success.
Without an embedded program for continuous improvement planned maintenance, inventory management and the entire maintenance strategy is put at risk.
