How to Use Lean Facility Management to Reduce Cost
Thought you might be interested in the article How to Use Lean Facility Management to Reduce Cost and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
Transport
Transporting goods and people can produce a lot of waste, especially when you have to transport something unnecessarily. The most common type of this waste happens when we don't have information needed for solving a problem at a facility on-hand. This forces facility teams to waste time and energy driving between facility sites and a maintenance office to access as-builts, manuals or parts. Making sure facility data is collected, up-to-date and distributed is the number one way this waste can be avoided.
Inventory
Waste in inventory is prevalent, particularly in storing parts and documentation. If inventory is out of stock, you will waste labor and time waiting to perform preventive or reactive maintenance. Instead, using a software that keeps track of an asset, the specific parts it requires and its availability can inform a technician ahead of time of any shortage prior to a repair.
Over-Production
In facilities, over-production typically happens when work orders are not closed out or daily operations goes untracked. For example, applying custodial work to areas that are sufficiently clean or performing preventive maintenance on equipment that has been idle. This can be improved by tracking all maintenance activities in your facility maintenance software.
