CMMS Best Practices Study - A Perspective

Julie Rampello

Selected graphs are taken from the CMMS Best Practices Study and are consistent with report's figure reference.

Reliabilityweb.com produced a CMMS Best Practices Study in July 2011 demonstrating the value computerized maintenance management systems add, as well as areas for future growth and improvement. The report was based on a survey of users conducted earlier that year which focused on implementation, use and sustainability.

As a marketer, this report is important as it provides an opportunity to better understand the user experience with CMMS in general and, for the Maximo brand specifically, the CMMS that Projetech provides. From this report, we see there is much that is changing in CMMS and the details summarized in the report provide us with opportunities to address the evolving needs of our customers. It is my pleasure to provide a perspective on the results of the survey and report.

Do I Really Need This in my Storeroom

An hour long presentation by Andy Page, Director GPAllied

In this economic environment, storerooms are under the magnifying glass to identify ways to save. As such, the need to identify what stock is critical to an asset and what stock is expendable is imperative. This is where reliability processes, normally limited to maintenance people and reliability engineers, comes into the equation. Certain reliability processes such as Failure Modes Analysis (FMA), FRACAS, and criticality analysis can paint a very clear picture of what parts are likely to be needed and how often.

This webinar will discuss how the reliability world and the stores world come together to create a comprehensive picture of what we can expect from our equipment base and how the right stores strategy can affect it, as well as how these processes can benefit the current demands on MRO inventory.

MRO Optimization – Driving the Supply Chain

An hour long presentation by Crystal Howe & Aimee Hiskett, Xtivity & Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority - WMATA

In order to reduce the consequences of asset failure repair parts must be available. Ideally MRO professionals strive to have the right part, at the right time, in the right quantity. The availability of parts is simple to understand, especially for WMATA (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority) for their vehicles must be service-ready to make money. Maintenance and maintenance inventories (MRO) are a necessary function and significant cost to achieve this end. Parts must be available in different locations across a city at any time. Parts have a shelf life and must change as the fleet changes. Please join Xtivity's Director of Product services Crystal Howe, and WMATA's Manger of Contract & Parts, Aimee Hiskett as they present the solution to the problems faced by today's MRO professionals.

Challenging the MRO Summit - The Mountaineer’s Guide to Success

An hour long presentation by Rich MacInnes, Partner, MRO Connection

“Life always gets harder toward the summit-the cold increases, the responsibility increases.”
Fredrich Nietzche

Lean experts teach us to see Waste in our operations, so why can’t we see the mountain of MRO materials—whose very existence is to respond to imagined or actual failure. Where cross industry analysis indicate that 58% of annual MRO investments will still be in place 3 years later and 68% of SKUs purchased annually will never be used. This mountain of MRO stock grows nearly 7% annually—this is Waste by any definition. Join MRO Connection in a guided path to reaching the MRO summit, highlighting essential skills while providing insight on the right gear to pack and tackle the seemingly insurmountable MRO challenges.

Measuring the Central Hub – Planning and Scheduling Metrics

An hour long presentation by Jeff Shiver CMRP, CPMM - Managing Principal

We constantly hear about metrics like OEE, PM Compliance, and Schedule Compliance that help measure productivity, availability, and the maintenance work management process as examples. In the end, these metrics are used to drive behaviors within the organization. I'm reminded of a statement that a Plant Manager in a large food and beverage manufacturer once told me. He said, "Jeff, We measure what we treasure!" If so, what is it in the Maintenance organization that we treasure?

The Maintenance Storeroom: Keys to Efficient Maintenance Operation

By Jeff Zeiler

Besides being the central hub for maintenance, the storeroom also provides functions that are absolutely critical to the maintenance operation. These functions are so important that when the storeroom is operating in a best practices mode, the rest of the maintenance operation can excel - the storeroom is the enabler. Put another way, if the storeroom is run improperly (such as poor inventory accuracy, parts unavailable when needed due to poor replenishment and procurement practices, etc), the rest of the maintenance operation has no chance of achieving high service levels of equipment availability and reliability.
