Maintenance & Must Win Battles - Peter Phillips

Course Description

Manufacturing facilities need to get back to the basic fundamentals of maintenance. Evolving reliability strategies place greater emphasis on root cause analysis (RCA), condition monitoring and trending, implementing CMMS best practices, and measuring everything. And these are important! However not at the expense of basic maintenance fundamentals according to Peter Phillips, principle at Trailwalk Holdings, a Nova Scotia-based maintenance consulting and training company.

Many companies have actually gone backwards in their approach to basic maintenance fundamentals in their pursuit of reliability initiatives tied to asset management. Peter wants to get these plants back to the basics.

In Maintenance: Must Win Battles, Peter covers 6 inexpensive, easy battles maintenance teams can win to help move the reliability needle in the right direction.

1. Spare Part Storage
2. Area Improvement Boards
3. Work Order Planning and Scheduling
4. Work Order Management
5. Workshop Organization
6. Internal Maintenance Communication

While these battles don’t cost a lot, they do require a commitment and a sense of urgency for implementation. Companies that have gone down this path have seen a big increase in equipment reliability. They have won the battle with simple, basic things that save thousands of dollars for maintenance, production and quality every single day.
