• Measure the money to keep the management people engaged and reward the hands-on people. The only limit on rewarding the staff is your imagination and budget and you can siphon off some funding for rewards from the savings you are measuring to keep the bosses engaged. You can get pretty involved in your reports through different software programs or you can keep it simple and simply look at three numbers, the parts bill, downtime and the production reports. Get creative in your rewards program and soon people will ask what they can do to get on board. Employee pictures on the wall, VIP parking for the month, good quality and distinctive shirts or jackets, lunch with the executive team and anything appealing and prestigious. The whole system falls into place easier when you form asset health care team round table meetings. Let every voice be heard and acknowledged and encouraged to induce a sense of ownership, engagement and feeling respected and needed. Hold contests seeking safety suggestions, machine and process improvements. Make it fun and interesting with good- natured rivalries and refuse to allow silos and any negative company politics. If you are doing it right the uptime and savings are guaranteed. If anyone is not sure how to get this started or how to sustain it I just happen to be looking for a job.
