___Operations Management: High Machine Downtime

_____Get The Right Maintenance Strategy To Minimize _____Downtime and Maximize Production Effectiveness.

 

In most facilities, the majority of maintenance schedules are Monday through
Friday with heavy overtime on the weekends. Maintenance and production
schedules typically mirror each other. The best practice is to cover the firefighting requirements during the key production periods and to have full
staffing where planned downtime exists to get full access to the equipment.
Just as it is hard to change a flat tire on a moving car, fixing troubled equipment
while it is running also doesn’t make any sense.

Core Practice Partners works hard to create complimentary systems that ensure production gets the support it needs and maintenance isn’t left working every weekend contributing to high attrition.

Measuring maintenance workloads is always a challenge. Accurate data is
hard to find, even if SAP and other expensive software systems have been
implemented to measure and monitor productivity. Creating solutions for
maintenance departments is truly a hands on project.
