Maintenance and Reliability Assessment


Big Goals Deserve Big Results.

But before you define your goals, you must understand your current state.

If you desire to improve your maintenance effectiveness, it is vital to have an accurate and objective understanding of your current state.  Our assessment services as a solid foundation for a successful improvement strategy and implementation.We focus on understanding your strengths and your opportunities for improvement and, by comparing you to best practice, offer practical and achievable recommendations for improvement.

You should strongly consider conducting a Maintenance Effectiveness Assessment and Improvement Strategy Session if:

  • You want to be more efficient and effective
  • You are beginning a maintenance and reliability improvement effort
  • You desire an objective snapshot of current maintenance performance
  • You need to improve productivity and/or capacity by decreasing equipment downtime

Do you understand YOUR specific strengths and opportunities for improvement?
 

Current State:

Does your maintenance department spend more time “firefighting” in a reactive environment rather than proactively preventing failures?

 

Do you have a clearly defined maintenance vision, mission, and improvement plan?

 

Do all departments work together to ensure minimum equipment downtime and maximum production output at minimum maintenance cost?

 

Would you consider your maintenance practices to be “world class”?

It is very difficult to know where to start if you don’t know from where you are starting.
