Improving operational maintenance brings many benefits but do you have the time or depth of resource to achieve change fully or effectively in house?
That sounds pretty obvious; improving any management system will bring benefits. Looking back at my own experience the last thing I needed when I was fending off the Production people or ‘fire fighting’ a load of breakdowns that all needed the same man or giving in and donning the overalls myself to deal with a particularly ‘critical’ problem was someone saying “…you should not be in this situation in the first place.”
