WORLD CLASS MAINTENANCE

An enormous amount of productivity is lost because the correct oil or grease is not professionally installed at the right time. Lubrication is a critical responsibility but, in many organizations, effective techniques and the technicians who know and do them get little respect. Building the role of lubrication experts is a relatively low-cost way to materially improve reliability. Studies have shown that 70% to 85% of equipment failures are self-induced, meaning that maintenance practices and processes are solely responsible for the failures.

Over decades of observation, countless plants have closed their doors, often citing various causes, but the underlying issue was a failure to manage effectively with KPIs. Management must shift from managing operations based solely on lagging metrics like cost, asset availability, and equipment downtime to a proactive approach centered on leading and lagging KPIs. While valuable for evaluating performance, lagging indicators only reflect past actions and outcomes. Organizations must manage the processes driving these results to thrive, adopting leading indicators to guide proactive, future-focused decision-making and avoid the pitfalls of reactive management.

One of the major areas of focus in industry today is improving equipment reliability. Why? To ensure that production is always available to meet the demand of the marketplace. One of the worst nightmares of any company and those who manage it is to have a demand for product but not be able to supply it because of equipment failure. Certainly, this scenario will reduce company profitability and could ultimately put a company out of business. For some firms, poor reliability and its impact on production are far more serious than for others. For those that operate on a continuous basis-they run 24 hours per day seven days per week-there is no room for unplanned shutdowns of the production equipment; any loss of production is often difficult or even impossible to make up. For others that do not operate in a 24/7 mode, recovery can be easier, but nevertheless, time consuming and expensive, reducing profits.
