Suggest You - Maintenance Planning 101
Phrases like “walk the talk” and “lead by example” are commonplace management and leadership language. These phrases provide frameworks for discussion on effective leadership. I’ve even used them in past articles. That said, I want to make the case today that it is not enough in today’s marketplace to simply “walk the talk” or “lead by example”. Both of these phrases lack the intent to change and improve. Change is always happening and continuous improvement is vital to our businesses today. Consider this altern
I've spent the past fortnight constructing a shed in my back garden. Not just a flat-pack - a slightly mad build-it-from-scratch-from-bits-of-wood version. I can hear you asking already what that has to do with business. Quite simply, in the process of building the shed, I realized how similar it was to building a business. Wait, and I'll explain more.Metaphorically speaking, building a shed is very similar to building a business. There are many ingredients that you need, and missing any one of them out will me
Congratulations! You’re the new maintenance manager of Megamonolith Corporation. Although you’re exited about the position, you realize you have your work cut out for you. Megamonolith recently bought out another company, and you’re assigned to the site. During your first six months, you conduct a facilities audit and discover that the prior maintenance program consisted only of breakdown repairs. (For information about facility audits, please refer to my white paper “The Facilities Audit” available through my website at www.fps-fm.com.)
One of the first things you need to do is establish a work coordination and management program that helps you and your staff identify, prioritize, plan, and track corrective actions. The same process must be used by everyone involved in maintenance, and at every location. How can you do this?
The system we propose provides these important benefits:
1.Easy retrieval and dissemination of information.
2.Ensures immediate response for emergencies and safety related issues.
3.Avoids wasted time.
4.Provides easy to follow guidelines and standards.
5.Uses off the shelf software.
6.Establishes procedures.
7.Highly cost effective.
The central point of a maintenance planning system is the Work Reception and Coordination Center, or WRCC. Depending on the size of your facilities, it may be a group of personnel or a single specialist who may even be an outsourced service provider. The WRCC is a single point of submission for all work requests; prioritizes and coordinates all work req
Financial Advisors come from varied backgrounds, wear different hats and offer vastly different services. So, that begs the question, “What makes an advisor from Merrill Lynch, or UBS, or MetLife, or another firm, big or small, different from any other?”That's a great question – one I get asked all the time. But, the question I often sense lurking well below the surface is one far more rarely asked, if ever. That question is, ... “Who is the right advisor for me and my family?”Slick slogans and fancy web

I want to talk about a subject that is neglected amongst small business owners – the idea of protecting your personal life.Even though you might be running a busy, thriving business, be absolutely sure to devote night a week to your personal life. In the past ten years, this has been one of my biggest issues. I have not been doing this every single week on my own but I can honestly say that I am in the process of changing that now.In business, with all the excitement of making money, it's too easy to let

As management members and business owners we detest dealing with unions in our businesses. Unfortunately, the government has allowed people to collectively bargain for compensation & wages, benefits and terms of employment. This leaves many companies at a loss for an effective labor relations strategy.Unions are on the decline due to the constricting of the U.S. economy and the slowing of the manufacturing sector. Since the union’s traditional base is disappearing they have been seeking new business by unionizi
A word about priority. Regardless of the final form of your maintenance planning program, you must ensure that work requests are responded to in the proper manner. Here’s a suggestion:
Priority 1: Threat to life, health, or security. Requires immediate, on-site response.
Priority 2: Impairs working conditions, affects ADA/handicapped access or code requirements but does not meet Pri-1 criteria. Requires acknowledgment within 1 business day.
Priority 3: Highly desirable, will improve productivity, customer service and/or work conditions.
Requires acknowledgment within 2 business days. Priority 4: Desirable, routine work or improves community relations. Requires acknowledgment within 2 business days.
Some companies establish another high level priority for work requests from C-level personnel, which could be listed following either Priority 2 or 3 in the above matrix.
Here's a flow chart for the work request: 1. Incoming work request --> Priority 1?
