The post Optimize & Improve a Preventive Maintenance Program appeared first on | eMaint.

Organizations spend considerable time Designing A Preventive Maintenance Program, which is a significant step toward preventing failures, enacting maintenance process improvements and more. Once programs are established, there often isn’t a plan in place to review and reassess preventative maintenance activities to eliminate tasks that fail to add value or may induce failures. Many organizations continue down their original path, and are blindsided when failures occur, or they are not realizing the full benefits they expected when first starting out.

In order to balance the risk of failure and the costs of maintenance, programs should be periodically reviewed based on failure history and performance analysis. This is called Preventive Maintenance Optimization. Preventive Maintenance Optimization (PMO) is a method of continuous improvement, working to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of maintenance activities. In addition, PMO:

There are three popular approaches for optimizing Preventive Maintenance schedules:

The Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach works to ensure systems continue to do what is required for operations. The goal of developing an RCM program is to implement a unique maintenance schedule for each critical asset within a facility or organization. In his book RCM2, the late John Moubray characterized reliability-centered maintenance as a process to establish the safe minimum levels of maintenance.

According to ReliabilityWeb.com, a program must meet these four basic principles in order to be recognized as true RCM:

A Guide to the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Standard (SAE JA1012) identified the basic requirements a program must meet before it is truly RCM. It begins with these seven questions:

There are four phases of an RCM project:

The RCM approach is a multi-faceted process that requires time, effort and buy in from corporate, executive stakeholders, your maintenance team and more. Because of that, RCM is best utilized to improve efficiency for large scale, capital projects or for critical equipment.

A failure reporting, analysis and corrective action system (FRACAS) is a more rapid approach to optimize PMs, and does not require extensive planning and decision-making to assess a PM program. FRACAS is a system that establishes a procedure for reporting, classifying, analyzing failures, and planning corrective actions in response to common failures. It identifies the root causes and failure analyses to help organizations implement the best solution to prevent or predict the issue from occurring time and time again.

FRACAS consists of:

Common outputs from FRACAS include Important Key Performance Metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures, Mean Time Between Repair, Mean Time To Repair, reliability growth, and failure/incidents distribution by type. The FRACAS model provides the information needed to support Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) efforts.

A judgement-based approach to PM optimization is just as it sounds. The process involves consulting the maintenance team and system engineers to develop a plan based on how they have seen the equipment operate and respond to the current PM schedule.

The judgement approach is not as accurate as RCM or FRACAS, and will not produce the same data and indicators of performance. However, sometimes that data and spending the time to track it is not necessary for all pieces of equipment. Judgement based PM optimization is best for assets that lack criticality, are inexpensive to repair/replace, or have been operating normally.

For even more information about topics including failure modes, total and partial failures, and how to mine equipment history to better understand how to minimize your failures, check out eMaint’s Best Practices Webinar, “Secrets of Great PM Programs” by Jeff Shiver from People & Processes.

Once you have completed the six steps to design a preventive maintenance schedule for your organization, it is important to consistently schedule, track and analyze this information. The functionality within a CMMS can help facilitate this process in a variety of ways.

A CMMS offers automation tools to help reduce missing scheduled work and equipment failures, making PM optimization as efficient and streamlined as possible. PM Task Generation, PM Scheduling and Inspections help facilitate continuous improvement and support for an organization’s Preventive Maintenance program.

A CMMS completely automates the Failure Reporting step in the FRACAS PM optimization method. Organizations can also leverage a CMMS to perform root cause analysis and deploy corrective actions.

Both RCM and FRACAS require considerable tracking and analyzing of PM processes. With eMaint’s reporting and dashboard tools, organizations can consistently document work order history, failures, costs and trends. With a few clicks of a mouse, organizations have access the data to perform the analyses that both RCM and FRACAS requires.

Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG) Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of glass and glazing systems. Nine ISO/TS 16949 compliant plants across NGS Group’s North American operations use eMaint.

Within the system, NSG Group set up a template to standardize across all locations to effectively look at performance and analyze key metrics, including leading and lagging. Completion rates for preventive maintenance are an NSG Group leading metric because of how it can impact operations.

KPIs are recorded and tracked on a daily basis, and the team developed a Metrics Center tab on their Dashboard, which offers live data on PM completion rates per Master Asset (Production Line) asset. The team also tracks each location’s performance to develop benchmarks and a scorecard that supports corporate goals of continuous improvement and reduction of waste.

C.B. Fleet Laboratories is a leading manufacturer of personal care and over-the-counter products, specializing in feminine hygiene, gastrointestinal products and infant care.The team kicked off implementation by interviewing mechanics to collect their insight into daily activities and identify which aspects of work were the most challenging.

Five key pillars were identified as the focus for revamping processes: people, material management, workload management, basic care and reliability. The company has reported that nearly every aspect of business is measured and reported to improve accountability, transparency and productivity within the company.

C.B. Fleet’s utilization of eMaint has caused a 50% reduction in reactive maintenance as well as a 35% decrease in reactive maintenance labor hours.

Putting it simply, PMO involves performing the right work, at the right frequency, the right way. Regardless of the approach a company decides upon, optimizing Preventive Maintenance schedules will benefit your organization. For example, eMaint clients experience KPI improvements from PM optimizations such as:

The post Lessons Learned from CMMS Deployments appeared first on | eMaint.

Organizations learn a great deal about themselves during a CMMS deployment. Some of the top companies across industries such as Energy, Services, Manufacturing have used the lessons they learned to redefine best practices, and everyday processes. As many of our clients have shared their insights with us, we compiled a list of some of the top lessons learn from CMMS Deployments to share.

Collect all foundational data at the beginning of the implementation process. One of the most important lessons learned by a wide variety of our clients is to collect all necessary foundational data at the start of implementation. For example, Cintas Corporation is a top manufacturer of corporate identity uniforms, entrance mats, document management services and more to over 800,000 businesses, through 430 distributed facilities in the US and Canada. After a few years using eMaint, the Cintas team realized that they needed to focus on fundamental data. For Cintas, this meant loading 28,000 assets into the system, in order to use eMaint to yield important decisions such as repair vs. replace, OEE, MTTR, MTBF, and uptime percentages in real-time.

Regional Project Manager and Facility Management Engineer James Wagoner calls this his primary lesson learned, and advises all CMMS users to collect necessary foundational data at the beginning of implementation. You will begin seeing useful, accurate data earlier, and company-wide cultural changes can be made based on data-driven insights into daily processes.

Recognize potential extra costs, and account for them. Utilizing eMaint’s mobile maintenance solution on smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices allows technicians and other employees to input data on-the-go, reducing the need to manually input data on a desktop at the end of the day. For SM Energy, a company focused exploration, development, and production of natural gas and crude oil, operations are distributed across the United States. Operations Reliability Analyst Chris Napoli purchased his team iPads to allow his employees to input data on the go.

Although Napoli says that mobile devices were a big success during and after implementation, it required an unforeseen expense: safe cases for iPads to prevent ignition in the the field. Napoli says this was his major lesson learned during implementation and deployment of eMaint: the extra cost for safety in-the-field. Across all industries, companies work in unique and sometimes dangerous environments where precautions may be necessary. Take a lesson learned from SM Energy, and recognize there may be additional costs to effectively deploy your CMMS solution, and account for them with a flexible, yet extensive budget plan.   

“Lock it down” for end users. Managing maintenance for one facility can be a challenge. For companies such as Schneider Electric, who contractually manage maintenance for 18 live data centers, it’s all about the right approach and the tools to match. Showing each center that the maintenance on their facility is being done, and being done right is necessary for Schneider. This means customizable, personal sets of data for all of their clients. How is it possible to keep track of all the unique work requests of these data centers, while maintaining control and organization all in one system? This was a lesson learned by Quality Systems Specialist Jeffrey Martin.

Martin learned to “lock it down” for end users of the eMaint system. This means if you’re managing maintenance in a distributed environment where each facility has unique needs, it is important to specify what information your end user can enter, and how they can enter it. To keep maintenance organized and controlled, it’s also vital to collect data in the same manner, with the same types of work orders. This helps ensure consistency in services and in the information each center will yield from eMaint to help make important data-driven decisions.

Set specific goals, and understand the areas in need of improvement to guide your CMMS deployment. As CMMS can help companies achieve positive change, it is important to establish your company’s goals from the get-go. This was the method of Marc Cotes, C.B. Fleet Laboratories Director of Maintenance and Engineering. CB Fleet is a leading manufacturer of over-the-counter health and beauty care products. With aggressive growth goals at the forefront of the company’s strategy, Cotes and his team interviewed technicians, collected foundational data, and developed a vision statement for where the company wanted to be in 5 years. Cotes populated eMaint dashboards with these goals, and consistently provide updates to this information.

Cote’s approach to implementation and deployment can be seen as a lesson for any company with similar growth goals. To identify where the main pain points are for employees and develop a sense of where you want to be in the future is an organized way to stay on track and sustain improvements as the excitement of implementation fades.

On-site visits and Boot Camps are a great way to jump start implementation. XTO Energy is a leading natural gas and oil producer with expertise in developing tight gas, shale gas, coalbed methane and unconventional oil resources. David Kylor Stafford, Operations Technician at XTO, believed in a partnership with eMaint throughout all stages of use, and utilized eMaint services to help jump-start usage of the software. At the start of implementation, Stafford scheduled an on-site visit to help set up the system, provided his team with extensive training, then set up an eMaint Boot Camp.

This was a lesson learned for Stafford, and his method sparked positive results for XTO Energy. As the on-site visit and training helped the team become more knowledgeable on eMaint and its features, the Boot Camp served as a way to become fully immersed in the solution. Stafford reported that after the Boot Camp, his team came back to headquarters with new, fresh ideas on how to further their use of eMaint to help everyday processes.

The company put together a methodology to implement maintenance and reliability improvements. In order to achieve their goals, they needed to find an effective CMMS solution that was 21CFR part 11 compliant, able to be validated, and easy-to-use.

Once Manacchio found eMaint, a phased approach was put in place to include data entry, data migration, onsite training, and validation performed by Secant. Every week, Manacchio’s cross-functional implementation team held project improvement meetings to analyze their process and plan for the future.

The company has 47 mobile technicians & 11 full users logging their work time into eMaint to track labor resources, which has helped support a shift in maintenance behaviors by increasing accountability. Manacchio also appreciates the ability to personalize almost all aspects of the system to fit the company’s needs.
