Maintenance Consulting

​

Analysis of various productions often reveals poor availability of technical production equipment as one of the main causes of reduced production throughput. Often we find companies in the following situation:

Because there is no propper Preventive Maintenance with no reserved time to do TPM the prodution suffers a lot of shut downs and unplanned downtime. Finally the time which is needed to fix all those problems takes longer than the time needed to perfom a frequent and propper preventive Maintenance and the company loose twice. This is what we call a typical "devils circuit"

"The machines and equipment of a production plant, are the heart of production and thus of the value-added process".

For this reason, it is important to consider the maintenance aspects already in the planning and design phase of a machine or plant. After the machines and equipments have been put into operation, a well organized preventive maintenance concept is necessary to ensure their maximum availability, but also to extend the life cycle of the machines as long as possible.

Because we are experts in this field, we offer the following support:
 

• Organizational restructuring of maintenance with the aim of maximum preventive and minimum corrective activities (80/20)

 

• Recruitment of engineers for the key positions in your technical departments.

 

• Introduction of TPM and regular planned TPM shutdowns for quick reduction of down times.

 

• Definition and implementation of CIP (Continuous Improvement Projects) in Maintenance together with your Maintenance Team.

 

• We implemente a preventive maintenance process with regularly scheduled activities to effectively prevent failures.

 

• We implemented a "learning" corrective maintenance process, where all failures are recorded, the most significant ones are analyzed and the defined actions are used to define new preventive activities or optimize existing ones to prevent even more effectively.

 

• We create a maintenance process that meets the requirements of VOA 6.3 and IATF 16949.
