An Operator Asset Care programme is based on the principle that the people operating production equipment, on a daily/regular basis, are the ones most capable of improving equipment reliability and performance.

Their understanding of the process and their feedback can be a valuable resource for the continuous improvement of manufacturing performance and reliability. It can also relieve the burden on Technicians who can then spend more time on Continuous Improvement, planned and predictive maintenance activities.

MCP has seen a surge in demand recently for companies looking to implement an Operator Asset Care Programme. With increased mechanization and automation of manufacturing plants and processes increasing the demands on maintenance and operations management and resources, there is greater reliance on the operator to look after the equipment on the production line.
