Process Mapping Evolved

1. Document:Understand your current preventative maintenance routine to establish an ongoing and effective PM program. From here, the PM manager can set performance standards for equipment and document specific preventative maintenance goals. Document these procedures and schedules in a way where the PM Manager can initiate and mange these tasks and deliver responsibilities to the maintenance staff to improve facility downtime.

2. Track Progress & Measure Results:

Understand the financial impact of a down machine and establish a profit motive for a consistent preventative maintenance program. When the PM manager can benchmark and track savings generated from the program, PM and lowered downtime becomes a focus rather than an auxiliary function of the maintenance team.




3. Start on the Right Foot:Roll out your preventative maintenance program with the proper training in place. Focus on established objectives, create correct PM tasks, and ensure your PM management program will sustain your program’s success.

4. Focus on Critical Components:Write Preventative Maintenance tasks to address the root causes of breakdowns and focus on items that specifically impact productivity. Measure the programs effectiveness through your work order system. Most PM programs focus 80%-90% on component inspections and 10%-20% on lubrications.
