Benchmarks & Client Cases
Autonomous and Planned Maintenance
The Challenge
Problem
• Low productivity amongst maintenance teams
• Lengthy stoppage times due to excessive MTTR (Mean Time To Repair)
• Complete dependence on maintenance teams to solve every equipment issue
Root Causes
• Poor knowledge sharing between production and maintenance teams
• Interventions on the equipment done with an isolated approach, with no standard or historical information
• High volume of corrective interventions over planned interventions
The Solution
• Equipment classification according to their criticality: risk of employee injury, equipment without replacement, unstable OEE and high percentage of breakdowns
• Implementation of Autonomous Maintenance processes on the critical equipment, with a standardized process to train all team members and assess their knowledge
• Development of a planned maintenance schedule, where the high-frequency activities were passed on to autonomous maintenance
• Work instructions development for planned maintenance activities, with a yearly training calendar for the maintenance team
The Results
The organization was able to free more than £479,000 in cashflow.
Stock Value
The stock value of spare parts was reduced by 26%
