Assess
Identify areas for improvement by assessing and benchmarking.
Conducting thorough assessments of your existing operations and practices is the first step towards identifying key opportunities that can deliver value to your business. Through assessment and benchmarking, you can gain insights and information that can maximize the performance of your equipment.
Delivering value to your business
SKF assessment and benchmarking will provide you with an independent assessment of your plant’s reliability and asset management programme. The goal of this analysis is to help you compare your current asset management practices with global best practices as well as the average practices in your industry. This comparison can enable you to identify specific areas in which you can improve the reliability and availability of your assets and reduce your operating costs.
KPIs: measuring maintenance performance
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can motivate maintenance teams and reveal many opportunities to improve processes. But that only happens when they’re properly conceived and applied.
There are five common mistakes companies make when setting up their KPIs:
- Selecting a single KPI to monitor
- Not connecting KPIs to larger business goals
- Not knowing what “good” looks like
- Choosing KPIs that are too hard to measure
- Not making it part of a living program
With the help of SKF, you can ensure your KPIs meet their full potential and satisfy the needs of your business.
