Beyond Maintenance: Overall Equipment Effectiveness

There are many issues other than downtime that limit Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). While unacceptable levels of downtime can often be addressed through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Optimized PMs, Predictive Maintenance (PdM) and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), there are many other physical and policy-based issues which may be choking your throughput and elevating costs.

Factors that cause poor OEE :

Higher production overtime
Scheduled downtime equipment-access issues
Deferred proactive maintenance
Higher reactive maintenance levels
Increased unplanned jobs with higher mean time to repair
Maintenance & operational conflicts
Aging backlog
Elevated maintenance overtime costs

How We Can Help

With a blended approach of constraint management coupled with LEAN principles, we determine the problems & identify corrective actions through tracking specific loss data:

Reliability Baselining

Compare the current state of your maintenance program and processes to available benchmarks and best practices. Predictive Service’s Baselining quantifies and validates performance gaps so improvement initiatives can be scoped and a business case developed.

PM Optimization

PM Optimization removes waste and ensures all PM tasks add value and addresses known failure modes. Our comprehensive approach to PM Optimization expands beyond task optimization to encompass a program focused on overall system change.

Reliability Snapshot

Looking to improve your reliability strategy and tired of “fighting fires?” With Predictive Service’s Reliability Snapshot, you gain access to our unique, blended approach to evaluation that assesses your areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
