  • Description: Manufacturers worldwide know that Lean maintenance practices cut costs and improve production by minimizing downtime. But the reality is that for many US manufacturers, up to 90% of the maintenance they perform is conducted on a reactive rather than proactive basis. It is possible to implement production maintenance best practices, and doing so will save time and money while increasing production in the long run. Presented are 10 steps you can follow to establish Lean maintenance best practices at your manufacturing operation: 1. Gather data and calculate downtime costs. 2. Determine the dollar value of maintenance. 3. Analyze operational variables. 4. Invest in a technology solution. 5. Start scheduling preventive maintenance. 6. Deploys a schedule planning function. 7. Introduce predictive tools. 8. Move toward total productive maintenance. 9. Implement a reliability centered maintenance strategy. 10. Bring in third-party technicians as needed.
