BUILDING A MAINTENANCE STRATEGY
Maintenance is more than a department; it’s a core operational function that demands a defined strategy. But which model is right? Preventive and predictive maintenance offer different benefits, and selecting the right approach is key to driving maintenance reliability, culture, and long-term performance.
WHY MAINTENANCE RELIABILITY MATTERS
Maintenance reliability ensures production equipment performs as needed, reducing downtime, managing costs, and sustaining throughput. Preventive and predictive maintenance play a key role in supporting system capability while minimizing failures.
What is 5S?
5S is foundational to building a maintenance reliability culture and is often considered the cornerstone of becoming a world-class organization. It is a system used to organize and maintain the workplace environment, resulting in improved efficiency and safety, reduced waste, and the elimination of non-value-added activities.
The Power of World-Class Maintenance
World-class maintenance is more than reactive repair; it’s a proactive commitment to reliability, efficiency, and uptime. As senior executives assess where they will take their manufacturing organizations in the coming year—and allocate the investments needed to get their companies there—how many will identify maintenance as a strategic objective?
