RoadMap for Manufacturing Excellence
Applied to improving Reliability
The RoadMap for Manufacturing Excellence (RoadMap) is a proven set of Principles and Tools designed and refined over a twenty year period by line managers with a relentless focus on manufacturing basics. It drives an integrated approach to Manufacturing Excellence - making it especially useful for small to mid-sized sites with limited resources. It is designed to improve all manufacturing results - including safety, environmental, quality, cost, production, customer service, return on capital investment, and asset preservation.
An important RoadMap application and one recommended for initial use - is that of improving Plant Reliability (PR). From previous applications focused on reliability improvement you can expect to reduce operating costs by up to 15% - with the P&L impact considerably larger if sales are limited by production.
Topics for the seminar include the following:
- An overview of the comprehensive RoadMap Toolkit - designed to deliver Alignment, Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and Organizational Excellence
- A Full description of the Foundational Tools - the core set of basics selected from the comprehensive Toolkit and measures - required to improve Plant Reliability
- The calculation of Plant Reliability (%PR - 0 to 100%) and Cost of Unreliability ($/%PR)
- A reliability Improvement Plan structure - developed using rigorous data analysis.
- A presentation and discussion of the key Principles vital to changing Plant culture.
- The pitfalls to sustainability of Reliability improvements and how they can be overcome
Key takeaways from the seminar will include:
- A much improved understanding of key, quantitative reliability measures
- A good understanding of best practices for Alignment, Maintenance, Operations, Engineering and Organizational Excellence required for world class Reliability
- A sound template for a structured plan to improve Plant Reliability
Agenda for the Seminar:
- Definition of Manufacturing Excellence
- Overview of the Roadmap - Principles, Tools, and Implementation
- How to Engage the Roadmap on Improving Equipment Reliability
