Process Realignment

Why do you do it that way?

Well, because…
That’s the way we’ve always done it.
That’s what the SOP says to do.

The above dialog is far too common. Standardized processes are essential, but such processes often stray far from their original goals. As a result, many organizations spend countless hours following procedures, introducing unnecessary bottlenecks, and collecting mountains of unused data – but still cannot get the information they need to yield true improvement.

If your team is in this situation, we can help. Let’s review your goals and analyze the tools at your disposal. If you are already using IBM Maximo, you may have a comprehensive toolset at your fingertips. Together, we can put it to effective use so that you can achieve operational excellence without introducing unnecessary complications.

If standardization isn’t as common where you work, we can help there, too. By identifying a few key areas for improvement, we can help you to achieve measurable gains in terms of decreased downtime, increased wrench time, and increased customer satisfaction.
