I have been amazed to discover that most companies do not have an acceptable answer when they are asked
this question.
The reality is that the Maintenance activity has been traditionally
overlooked. As a result, many companies do not have a plan to: measure, analyze, reduce, or eliminate the big
losses they may have in that area, and obviously they can do nothing about it.
Maintenance has most of the time been considered just as a “necessary
cost of doing business” by many enterprises; therefore, it is only a source of Cost and Expenditure. Of course it
directly affects the bottom line; since its cost is deducted from the Profits the Company should have
made.
In these competitive times Maintenance is a Critical Component of the
Operation, thus it deserves and needs to be observed more in detail.
- When there are Good Maintenance Practices in
place, the Reliability of a plant is improved. Failure stoppages are a rare occurrence
and everyone trusts on the Productivity. Cost is under control.
|
- When there is not good reliability, it is not
noticed until something fails. At that time, the failure will be accepted as a “natural” thing.
Deterioration and degrading of equipment have been something that is taken as the normal
performance.
|
- Maintenance Best Practices include a
higher level of education and awareness of everyone about the importance of equipment
preservation.
|
- When there is not enough involvement or
knowledge, many people believe that even if there is a noticeable abnormality, “it is not their
job” to tell anyone or do something about it.
|
- A well maintained facility is a positive
influence in: the quality of the products, the safety of the people, the morale of personnel,
the endurance of equipment, and the profitability of the
Company.
|
- When Maintenance is not done at World-Class
levels, equipment can cause: reduced quality, unsafe conditions, concerns and uncertainty,
rapid wear and tear of equipment, reduction in the profits, which affects
everyone.
|
- When a Planned Maintenance takes place:
Most tasks are accomplished in a timely manner; Equipment is kept in optimal condition;
production is completed within schedule.
|
- Without a planned and scheduled maintenance:
Emergency Corrective Maintenance takes most of the labor and cost; Equipment deteriorates and
decays; Productivity is not certain or timely. Maintenance is in constant rush
mode.
