CMMS & Master Data Alignment + Maintenance planning and improvement initiatives

Scope

Maintenance operational review focused on strategies, CMMS system health, PM compliance and work standards & practices.

Low plant reliability and a limited understanding of the applicability, benefits, and costs associated with adopting maintenance best practices.
High company growth targets combined with a lean operational strategy, alongside strict auditing, compliance, and traceability requirements.
A diverse workforce that relies heavily on on-the-job training and informal knowledge transfer.
Gaps in foundational maintenance management practices, including record keeping, reporting, asset hierarchy structure, and naming conventions.
Traditional document management methods with low compliance, leading to siloed information and individually retained knowledge.
Limited digital systems or inconsistent use of existing systems, impacting data accuracy and decision-making. Need for ongoing client education.

Managed custom Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) development and implemented a cost-effective Document Management system.
Established an asset hierarchy, naming convention and process flow diagrams. Also used this to develop technical training packs.
Client-side education and training across duration of project for ease of implementation and sustained results.

Organisation gained the foundations for disciplined maintenance management.
CMMS implementation was de-risked with the plant’s new conventional and tailored systems.
On-boarding and training was simplified through new supporting systems (CMMS, Document Management and drawings).
Client capability to improve their operation was strengthened.
