Site Review
Many companies these days are looking to find ways of reducing costs and efficiency gains within their maintenance department. They struggle to come to grips with the changes and the direction they are heading and are overwhelmed by the workload in front and can not find the time to focus on how to address the issues at hand.
We have been involved with helping many clients understand what is actually happening within their maintenance teams. Helping to identify where the root causes are to their problems and to highlight where the critical areas of focus should be.
As the industry has been running at such a fast pace over the last decade, managers have had little time to work on the business but stuck in the rut of working in the business and not seeing/hearing what is actually occurring around them.
A “no holds barred” approach to what is actually happening and provide solutions on how to address the situation and with wasted time, effort and money within the maintenance operations is our mantra. Looking at the processes, systems and practices can easily determine where the real issues lie.
Our approach is direct, fact based and the findings can be confronting.
How
We spend approx 5-7 days on site to study the maintenance operations methods of performing the basics. The study looks at execution of PM Services, perform time and motion studies and interview key personnel to understand what is happening within the operation and review your facilities, systems and procedures impacting on the maintenance operation.
A presentation on our findings is provided before site departure and a comprehensive report with solutions for your team to implement is submitted the following week.
