Planned maintenance routines (PMR)

SKF can help to coordinate maintenance activities with production schedules and machine availability to improve production efficiency and promote cross-functional communication. By aligning maintenance tasks to business goals based on asset criticality, safety, environmental and financial impact, measurable improvements can be made. Some benefits include increased maintenance productivity, greater reliability of existing capacity, improvement in uptime, and enhanced personnel satisfaction by meeting production targets and business goals. Effective planning and scheduling results in efficient planned maintenance routines that can be incorporated into new or existing Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) or Enterprise Asset Management Systems (EAM).

Resource leveling/work packaging

To simplify the scheduling process without requiring an expensive planning software package, SKF developed Resource Leveling/Work Packaging – a simplified, cost-effective approach of assigning Planned Maintenance Routines to a long-term schedule based on the average monthly man-hours for each PMR frequency. This approach can prove very effective when maintenance regimes contain many relatively short-duration PMRs, and will produce a smooth manning profile throughout the scheduling period.

Turnaround management

While downtime that “just happens” can be disastrous, a carefully planned shutdown can provide your maintenance department with a rare opportunity to identify and address issues in order to improve plant safety and efficiency. SKF can assist you in prioritizing needs and identifying what can be accomplished within time and budget restraints. Our project managers can prioritize and schedule the order of activities; plan for new or additional work during a shutdown; report and document preparation and execution, and identify future needs.
