| MAINTENANCE BENCHMARKING The Maintenance Benchmarking process is one, which reviews the entire maintenance operation of a plant, site or company. During a brief on-site survey, members of Charles Brooks Associates, Inc. (CBA) interactively review the day-to-day operation of the maintenance department. Customer departments are surveyed to determine the level of satisfaction being generated by the maintenance operation. While on-site, experienced CBA consultants will look at the maintenance department in the following areas: MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES PLANNING AND SCHEDULING PLANNED MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION EQUIPMENT RECORDS MAINTENANCE TRAINING MAINTENANCE COSTS Following the on-site visit, CBA will provide a written report evaluating each area of maintenance. Opportunities for improvement will be identified and an initial game plan will be discussed. The results of the Benchmarking survey are often the foundation for the development of a Maintenance Mission and Vision. Prior to the on-site portion of the Benchmarking process, a pre-survey checklist will be provided to allow local personnel to gather available data to facilitate the on-site analysis. |
