RouteMaintenance is a repeated method of carrying out periodic inspections of fixed plant facilities, with a focus on quick and effective turnaround times, safely. It is not about speed, it is about process. Working to a defined process which is repeatable and sustainable. A process which encourages the staff to look for time saving initiatives to improve the process. There are clearly defined roles which work closely to the specific task at hand.
RouteMaintenance is a simple to implement system, designed to eliminate waste within the scheduled servicing process of any fixed plant.
It delivers results which
A route is a defined path specific to a list of inspection tasks which need to be checked on a set periodic interval. RouteMainteance is the software that enables the user to access the information electronically.
The amount of routes that can be developed is limitless.
RouteMaintenance is designed to address the typical issues seen within the most Industries.
RouteMaintenance has been compared to Lean Thinking philosophy. Stripping waste from the process.
The expectations are totally up to the client’s needs and business requirements. Generally, routes have already been developed in a paper format. The inspection intervals are set up and the maintenance team is actively carrying out RouteMaintenance in some form.
We provide a platform inwhich the routes can be communicated electronically. Enabling more information to be shared at the right time. It enables a better use of information specific to the task at hand.
What we have found, is that the change in what is being carried out today and moving towards RouteMaintenance maybe a challenge. Not because of the systems and processes we have developed within RouteMaintenance but the challenges of change management. Changing people’s habits. It's the simple things which are hardest to implement because they are just that "Simple" not to do as simple as they are too do.
What we do, is work closely with the teams, communicate on all levels to explain what can be achieved and what the system and process is about. The core of the system remains the same, the outer edges of the system is very flexible and blends with the sites environment and needs. It is more than a software system it is a method and a defined process.
We believe that a 30-40% improvement across the combined inspection/servicing time frames is achievable with all large production plants. And this can improve across other areas of the business when adopted.
This is achievable if the following applies
