Your Roadmap to Reliability Starts Here

“Your Roadmap to Reliability” is a step-by-step process that MMS uses as a road map that guides us along a project successfully.

Your Roadmap to Reliability Start-Up

1. Assess the Business & Site

Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your operations to establish the foundation for reliability.

Assessment components:

  • Establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
  • Designate a start-up team
  • Assess technician skills and training on equipment
  • Conduct equipment criticality review
  • Perform a machine health assessment
  • Prioritize findings from health assessments
  • Analyze repair parts availability
  • Create a parts criticality list
  • Address additional site-specific needs

2. Build the Site-Specific MMS Roadmap

Using findings from the assessment, we tailor the Manufacturing Maintenance Solution (MMS) roadmap to your site.

MMS Approach:

  • Define deliverables that directly impact reliability
  • Set KPIs based on customer input and site findings
  • Choose a preferred communication format for transparency between MMS and the customer
  • Deploy a start-up team with roles defined by site needs
  • Establish reoccurring communication touchpoints
  • Setup or validate your CMMS to ensure data accuracy and integrity

Step 3: Create the Team

Recruit and train technicians to align with the MMS model and site requirements.

Key actions:

  • Hire new technicians to partner with MMS experts
  • Provide precision maintenance training
  • Emphasize root cause analysis to eliminate repeat failures
  • Instill a ‘fix it right the first time’ mindset

Step 4: Develop the Plan

Leverage CMMS data and technician input to build a tactical and strategic maintenance plan.

Focus areas:

  • Use historical and real-time data to inform the plan
  • Shift focus from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance
  • Schedule and plan work effectively: right tech, right tools, right task

Step 5: Execute the Plan

Begin implementing the plan while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Execution priorities:

  • Transition repair-focused operations to preventive maintenance
  • Analyze and act on operational data
  • Encourage new ideas and continuous learning
  • Lead daily plans with clear goals and intent
  • Communicate openly about obstacles and progress
  • Embrace the cultural shift from repair to reliability

Step 6: Measure Results

Track success through data-driven metrics and continuous feedback.

Measurement strategy:

  • Use pre-established KPIs as benchmarks
  • Regularly review performance and identify trends
  • Educate stakeholders with visual dashboards
  • Show progress from reactive to proactive maintenance
  • Demonstrate value and impact through tangible results

Step 7: Celebrate Success

Recognize milestones and reward achievements to reinforce a culture of reliability and improvement.

Celebration methods:

  • Highlight key wins in meetings and dashboards
  • Recognize team members for contributions
  • Share success stories across the organization
  • Encourage feedback and reflection to sustain momentum
  • Reinforce the value of the maintenance model with real-world results
