Many organizations face these challenges with Maintenance and Reliability

If your maintenance organization is like most, you don't know what maintenance and reliability best practices are or you struggle to implement them if you do. Instead, you spend your days spiraling ever downward in a cycle of reactivity. A reactive environment such as this breeds instability, inconsistency and inefficiency, causing assets to fail, operations to stop and employees to burn out.
Read moreReactive environments are marked by:

  • constant equipment failures;
  • difficulty in meeting customer demand;
  • increased costs and reduced profits
  • poor product quality or excess waste;
  • a sense of helplessness and frustration; and
  • safety or environmental breaches.
In this type of environment, the equipment itself determines how long it will be unavailable, how much it will cost to repair, and how long it will run once repaired. Your life is perpetually on hold as you overcome one crisis after another. Long days turn into arduous weeks, which stretch into endless months. Not only is there a financial costs, there are human costs as well.

  • and many more
Strategic Roadmap
People and Processes returns to your site to facilitate the development of the plan of improvement that will close the gaps identified through the Assessment and Gap Analysis. Read more
You don't have to spend energy figuring out how to become less reactive because the strategy has been developed in the improvement plan. Your goal becomes the execution of that strategy.

Also called your strategic roadmap, the plan of improvement is a communication tool and a living document as well. Progress and tasks can be continuously updated so that you can show people where the organization is headed and its progress in getting there.
Maintenance and Reliability Best Practices will make your workplace safer, your organization stronger and your people happier by giving you control of your work instead of having your work control you.
