Opportunities for Maintenance and Operations: Design Rates

Opportunities for Maintenance and Operations: Design Rates

Today we are going to look at Design Rates. Often times our equipment are not running at their designed rate. Most of which are operational issues. For example, we tend to slow down a line, to present less problems, but it lowers the target rate. How do we identify an actual opportunity?

Opportunities for Maintenance and Operations: No Part Replaced

Opportunities for Maintenance and Operations: No Part Replaced

This informative video provides valuable insights into how we respond to operations and help them improve their processes. By pulling data out of the CMMS, we can identify areas of opportunity and provide recommendations for improvement.

For example, by analyzing the data, we can see where operators may need training, or where improvements can be made in the incoming raw material process. Our goal is to provide practical, actionable advice that can help you maximize your resources and achieve success in your manufacturing facility.

Opportunities for Maintenance and Operations: Alarms

George will be discussing basic opportunities for Maintenance and Operations. This is an 8 part video series that covers things such as eliminating nuisance alarms, looking into event rates, and how we develop PM Routes. This first video covers Alarms. What does opportunity look like from an alarm perspective? In most plants, it’s likely you have some type of building automation. Systems and Alarms can go through what is called a Pareto Analysis.

Self Ownership Part 5

Self Ownership Part 5

This mindset I have and bring to my client’s struggling businesses did not get built overnight. It took years of conscious concentration to develop the discipline that says basically, if something goes wrong, it was probably my fault.
