Using the Maintenance Data You Already Have

Leverage the existing data in your CMMS to make sustainable improvements to your maintenance program Let’s face it, your technicians have been entering data into the CMMS for years, but you haven’t been able to use it to make improvements.  Is it because the data isn’t codified or it doesn’t have the right data points?  Generally, this is how most maintenance managers will view their data, but it is incorrect.  The CMMS does have data that you can use almost immediately. To what extent you can use it may vary, but it will allow you to perform some level of […] The post Using the Maintenance Data You Already Have appeared first on .

How to Sustain the Culture Change

The key to keeping a culture change from going back One of the reasons that culture changes fail to change and stay that way is, is because there is nothing put in place to sustain it.  When there is no plan to sustain the change, it will be a flavor of the week and revert back to the old ways.  This is the final installment of a series on culture change and if you haven’t already, please go to the first post and start there. So how do you sustain a change once it has taken hold?  There are many […] The post How to Sustain the Culture Change appeared first on .
