RELIABILITY in this area is the real issue holding back performance. Without understanding these root causes how will you know if reliability will succeed in the culture of this area? If you don’t dive into these problem areas, like we mentioned in the planning section above, and understand the real reasons for underperformance then these very issues could be the reason your maintenance improvement initiative fails in the future. When I suggest starting early with root cause analysis, I am not suggesting you train everyone in the plant, but I do believe you need a few great facilitators to support you early on in your initiative. They will serve you well and lower your stress as you begin the change initiative. Building a real planning and scheduling organization And finally, without maintenance planning, your reliability improvement is doomed. That may seem like hyperbole maybe, but my observations suggest that it is not. I have seen some great maintenance improvement initiatives stall out because of this element. It is that important. It is the one point in the process where everything flows and if it is not effective, it reduces all the results associated with it. It is a challenging element that takes a lot of focus, desire, and grit to succeed. I equate it to a leg workout at the gym, everybody knows that they need to do it but very few people want to or enjoy doing it. Regardless, planning has to be done just like your leg day or you will be weak at your very foundation. Good planning improves safety, efficiency, and effectiveness So, what is good planning? It is identifying the work that needs to be done and building a job plan that improves safety, efficiency, and effectiveness for the executing party. It is building a job plan library where you can save, and reuse job plans so that more of the work that is executed is done with a plan and with precision. It is creating job kits that contain all the parts required to perform the repair. IMPLEMENTATION TEAMS WILL LOOK TO THE LEADERS FOR THIS AND IF THEY DON’T SEE IT THEN THEY WILL START TO WANDER IN THE WRONG DIRECTIONS. Why should we plan? It reduces the introduction of defects during maintenance repairs, while also reducing the time required to complete the work. This affects the amount of downtime required and the amount of maintenance craft hours required for the job. Many companies are struggling to find skilled maintenance technicians to meet the needs of the site. Planning can reduce the number of technicians required and provide the precision maintenance information they need to excel beyond their skill level. It is not as simple as just creating the job plan of course, you have to have the supervision and change management in place to require the use of the job plans as well. The supervisors must drive continuous improvement by getting feedback from the technicians to the planners to refine the job plans over time and of course the planners must be expected to edit the job plans and carefully store them in the job plan library until they can be used again. If this element is done correctly though it will be a game changer for the organization. The use of these planned jobs can reduce your cost to execute the work by five to seven times. That will allow you to do more with the resources you have allowing for greater success for the maintenance improvement strategy. So, has your organization embedded all five of these foundational pieces into your reliability improvement strategy? What are you missing? What issues can you see that could be connected to those missing elements? How can you incorporate them into your strategy moving forward? As you are thinking about making changes to your current strategy don’t forget element one: change management and the communication of the change to the strategy. If you would like to discuss your specific situation, do not hesitate to reach out and we can talk through your specific challenges and refine your master plan for your success with reliability and maintenance improvement and at the higher level the generation of a more profitable site and company.
