Great video.
Once we've ensured that the right people are in place, then they must know what to do! That's where the work processes are indispensable, they define all of the actions needed and also Who is to do them, very important.

Thanks for the very useful video.
I would just add that the most important part is a proper maintenance structure for the operation you need to maintain and in the accordance with the foregoing the right people in the right places.
If you do not have skilled people, and people who are willing to do the right things every single time when they are executing a job, you will fail.

It is difficult, and probably unfair to make the following comment in isolation of watching one video, but here goes.

Most maintenance organizations I have worked in are undermanned as I believe most companies still operate under the misunderstanding that maintenance is a necessary evil, a budget drain and expense they would prefer to avoid.

I always start with a questionnaire split between the maintenance planning and execution, and let the maintenance personnel answer it. You get a radar diagram that gives you a very easy, visual picture of your strengths and weaknesses. And that allows you to focus on those parts of the work process where you need to apply attention. Now you can agree a place to start, set a SMART goal to do so, assign ownership, and draw up a plan to implement. Easier said than done at times, as the undermanned organization must still perform its core activities and keep the plant operating


I also believe that all plant and equipment should have a criticality measure applied and visible in the CMMS as that helps drive the day-to-day prioritization of execution. I think if you get these things right you have a do-able game-plan, but you need your management's support to achieve success.
