Let us provide the map to guide your maintenance department to World Class excellence.

An Initial Audit is critical for the following reasons:

Establishes a Baseline

Collection of reports, KPIs, documentation of processes and observations and discussions with key personnel to document the 12 focus elements, resulting in a Baseline Performance Level Matrix summarized in our thorough Gap Analysis Report

Provides a Linear Path for Improvement

Results in a clear action plan that addresses your organization’s gaps, the majority of World Class Maintenance implementations fail due to the lack of a plan

 

Prioritizes Action Items Based on ROI

Enables your organization to focus on those items with the greatest return

Exposes Any Obstacles

Helps to identify any systemic or resistance areas that will hinder your journey to a World Class Maintenance Organization; Is the staff and facility requirements in place to implement World Class Maintenance in the facility?

TRANSFORM YOUR MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE

One Key Element to becoming a World Class Maintenance Organization is to have an effective Computerized Maintenance Management System. MST has extensive experience in working with many types of CMMS Software. An effective system should have all the tools you need for your World Class Maintenance operation but still be responsive and easy to use. As part of our services, MST will advise clients on CMMS selection or optimization.

World Class Maintenance is a journey, not a destination; a process, not a product.

5 levels of Maintenance Operations

“World-Class”

Excellent performance in all Key Elements; reliability-centered maintenance; equipment ownership, self-motivation, operator participation in PMs

Proactive
