? Prioritize the Operations-Maintenance ?? Partnership One common observation in the best manufacturing organizations is that Operations, Maintenance and Engineering work in a close partnership. They view reliable production as a common goal. The maintenance organization delivers equipment reliability, the operations organization delivers process reliability in an equal partnership, and the engineering organization designs and procures equipment based on lowest Life Cycle Cost instead of lowest purchase price. Many organizations agree, but seldom implement the changes aggressively enough to reap the benefits. Most organizations are under the illusion that they already work as partners and therefore do nothing to implement it. Watch this video from Torbjorn Idhammar and Owe Forsberg, CAMA, CMRP to learn about the benefits of a good operations-maintenance relationship for your plant, mill, or mine. Tune in next week for Part 2! https://lnkd.in/eee__Y5K #maintenanceoperations #maintenancereliability #reliabilityengineer

A commonly used format for spare parts description involves listing a Noun followed by several Qualifiers. The number of Qualifiers used may depend on the character limit of the Description field in your CMMS or ERP software. This structure helps create a thorough spare parts description, which in turn facilitates effective inventory management and maintenance processes. By highlighting important features of the spare parts with Qualifiers, accurate identification and categorization within the system are made easier. ?? #spareparts #namingconventions Ready to learn more strategies to improve your materials and spare parts management?

Establishing a standardized Spare Parts naming convention can be challenging due to varying product descriptions and customized CMMS & ERP templates. Inconsistencies can lead to inefficiencies in inventory management and maintenance processes. By implementing a clear naming convention following industry best practices ?? , organizations can enhance operational efficiency and reduce errors. This approach also improves data accuracy, optimizes inventory levels, and streamlines maintenance operations. #spareparts #Standardization #Efficiency ?? https://lnkd.in/gBs8nJ3h
