Maintenance and Reliability
24th January 2022
To allow for a structured approach to achieve ‘World Class Maintenance’, measuring your departments strengths and weaknesses is vital. The model above has been adapted to measure maintenance departments current maturity, and enables the team to decide which pathway will provide best value for the resource and money available.
The model has an audit document behind it which enables accurate auditing of the current operational situation. The audit can be completed to a high standard in 1 day allowing the generated gap analysis to describe the organisation’s strengths and areas for development.
The development areas will allow the organisation to set out short-, medium- and long-term objectives to development the maturity of the maintenance activities supporting the business.
As these objectives are achieved, the plan is reviewed and adjusted to ensure it is relevant and achievable.
The pyramid becomes ‘self-supporting’. As the blocks at the bottom of the pyramid become embedded as business as usual the next row of blocks can be worked on.
If the block is higher up the pyramid is being worked on without the lower blocks being embedded, much time, effort and money of both business leaders, business colleagues and business revenue is required to maintain the blocks performance. This is only sustainable for a time before the pyramid collapses, wasting that effort.
Sustainable maturity makes sense to provide business performance quality and delivery.
