Objectives

After initial discussions with Lausanne Consulting, a 2 week Initial Opportunity Review (IOR) was undertaken to determine the chance to increase the productivity and reduce costs. The IOR identified the following issues: Lack of management of the maintenance function: no preventive, no breakdown root cause analysis, no resource planning, no active supervision, no interfaces with production, no KPI’s, no reliable data, etc.

The supervisory profile showed a strong resistance to change and general lack of trust in people at all levels of the organisation. No operational KPI’s or reporting system. The indirect areas are not supervised properly and there is a total lack of resource planning or monitoring. Despite a highly seasonal business the crewing remains flat most of the year.

The hygiene section is considered the low end of the work scale and people with physical or work handicaps end up there. The objectives were therefore to redefine the objectives of the Maintenance function and develop a MOS in order to increase machine availability and service to production, to design and implement an active supervision programme to increase the productivity of people and machines. This actions must be concretised in 1 M€ benefits.
