Achieve World Class Reliability and Maintenance Through Implementation of Best Reliability and Maintenance Practices In many organizations the waste in operations and maintenance systems is huge Here waste is defined as the difference between how things could be and how things are The waste in most maintenance organizations is typically 20 60 In addition poor maintenance productivity results in increased safety incidents and 5 20 waste in quality and quantity production throughput which leads to unreliable deliveries and wasteful manufacturing Other waste from poor maintenance includes excessive energy and spare parts consumption This waste often represents much higher costs than the maintenance cost itself Analyses of the Maintenance Processes Improvement Plan IDCON s approach to evaluating actual maintenance performance is closely linked to modern management philosophies In short we evaluate waste or improvement opportunities in the following logical steps of maintenance work 1 How well do you prevent problems from occurring 2 How well do you detect identify and prioritize maintenance work early so you can plan and schedule corrective maintenance 3 How well do you plan 4 How well do you schedule The success of any improvement initiative largely depends on employees commitment and momentum to apply agreed upon improvements To ensure success we recommend presenting our findings in a workshop for your improvement team instead of only the traditional report The objective of the workshop approach is to immediately create a ready to go realistic plan with the input from and acceptance of each improvement team member A balance of short and long term improvement goals provides checkpoints to ensure the educational success of the program Maintenance goals are set for 3 6 and 12 month periods regular follow up is then instituted These checkpoints along the route of improvements tell employees where they are and where they are going 5 Do you have an accurate technical database including spare parts records to support planning 6 How well do you execute 7 Does your record keeping support continuous improvement and comply with OSHA MSHA and EPA requirements 8 Do you analyze and eliminate Root Causes of problems 9 Do you continuously improve Results Oriented Reliability and Maintenance Cycle When improvements are identified and implemented productivity will continuously increase This cycle continues to drive your organization towards maximum efficiency and productivity Possible Performance Agreeing upon and committing to realistic goals is achieved through educating your organization in what is possible to achieve and changing paradigms so that improvements can be implemented IDCON can help your organization enhance the way operations maintenance stores and engineering must work together in a partnership to generate quality and quantity production throughput through world class maintenance CBP Evaluation Education and Benchmarking CBP is an acronym for Current Best Practices for reliability and maintenance IDCON has developed this methodology and helped many companies discover their improvement opportunities The major part of our support is educating your organiza tion in understanding and agreeing to the same philosophy and goals After establishing and agreeing upon an organizations performance the next logical step is to develop a road map outlining the way to reach your goals The complete evaluation includes about 250 well identified and documented elements About IDCON IDCON is a highly specialized management

for improvements Our objective is to establish the program and guide your company through the critical transition period in a timely efficient manner Consultant involvement decreases proportionally as your employees take ownership of improvements and assume responsibility for them Allocation of Time and Use of Resources Planned and Scheduled Work Continuous Improvement and Break in Work Overall
