Stopped machinery is synonymous with losses in any company and, often, these unexpected stops are linked to the lack of effective management of the maintenance process. 

Many problems and occurrences could be avoided with the preventive maintenance process, which involves: inspection, control, inspection, replacement or maintenance of parts, among others. Below are some points that will help you achieve high performance in this department:

Start with maintenance team management

The first step to fostering high performance is to properly coordinate the team present in the department.  Everyone involved needs to be aligned so that there is no mismatch of information, compromising maintenance control with delays or other problems. 

For this reason, it is necessary for the team to be clear about the organizational chart and sectors served by the employees who work with these processes. 

It is not enough to organize the team if the resources are not up to date

Each and every piece of machinery needs resources so that the preventive maintenance process runs smoothly and effectively. If repairs and evaluations are scheduled, but there are no resources to carry out the maintenance on the day, this wait for availability can cause major losses.

  An example is the delay that was not anticipated, as well as the possibility of a long wait for replacement from the supplier, depending on the material needed for the review (parts, inputs and other tools ).

Consequently, it harms machinery that does not receive the maintenance stipulated by the manufacturer or even causes unscheduled equipment downtime, generating great losses. 

Maintenance is the department that guarantees total effective functioning of equipment, therefore, assertively carrying out strategic control of inputs is one of the points that guarantees high performance in preventive maintenance.  

Maintenance process: Monitoring KPIs will result in high performance

Data analysis and monitoring is essential for any company and sector. The same goes for the maintenance process. Obtaining these indicators is a way of showing relevant information for the company's progress and evolution, in addition to allowing a strategic view of maintenance management, as well as the status of all equipment available and allocated in the organization. 

With the information collected by the indicators, it is possible to develop more effective maintenance planning that influences the renewal of input stocks, machine and equipment downtime scheduling. With this data it will also be possible to mitigate errors and wrong decisions made by management, resulting in greater savings in time, money and resources for maintenance operations.

If within your department you do not yet work with data measurement, we recommend that you carry out a survey to understand which metrics are appropriate for the operation according to the goals set.   

What are the consequences of these optimizations 

Working on these and other points in the management of the maintenance process generates high performance, which guarantees:

• Better cost control

• Increased useful life of equipment and machines

• Greater efficiency

• Asset availability

• Error Mitigation
