Crunching some numbers showed that 68% of you that receive the newsletter about the Bathtub Curve are new in the business of manufacturing a product (within the last 2 years). Of that 68%, 27% had said that a brand-new piece of equipment had failed and cost them money in some way or another. Of that 68% of new start-ups, a whopping 73% asked where to begin on the reliability journey when money is so tight.
Unless you have deep pockets start with baby steps and add to it along the way. By doing it this way you can use each step to pay for the next advancement. I suggest starting with a Computerized Maintenance Management System (Software) also can be known as Enterprise Asset Management. I guarantee that you will never regret that decision. Why you ask? Because with one program you will be able to track Asset Lifecycle (design, construction/production planning, disposal, warranty management). Supply Chain Management (demand planning, inventory management, materials management, procurement). Core EAM (analytics, asset registry, compliance, financials, master data management). Monitoring (internet of things, mobility, operational technology, sensors). Maintenance Planning and Scheduling (preventive and predictive maintenance, labor management, HR and payroll, project management work orders). And know that this is just the tip of the iceberg what you will use this program for. I believe it was Deming that said, ‘In God we trust, for everything else we need data.”
But with hundreds of companies to choose from how do you find the right one program for your operation? At SiteWorks Mechanical we do not sell these programs so don’t feel like you are pressured to go with one company over another, but we will help you to decide on the best program to fit your needs and budget. We will help you all the way with your decision, implementation and training your staff. This is a huge step in the right direction to move forward in a positive direction that will keep you ahead of your competition.
