TRAINING OVERVIEW
TRAINING DESCRIPTION
Production capacity is ultimately a plant’s most valuable asset. That capacity depends on a variety of factors, including employees, engineering, utilities, and machine uptime, not to mention management of materials inventory. Any dip in the quality of these will have an impact on production, and therefore profitability.
“The plant manager should see the contract organization as an extension of the maintenance department and manage the relationship as such. The contracted organization should realize the company they are working for is why they are in business and act as a partner.”
Prior to awarding a contract, clear expectations should be defined and agreed upon between plant personnel and the contracting organization.
The agreement should cover fees, resources, methods, expected results, and how performance of the contractor will be measured.
The performance indicators need to be established upfront, and the contractor should be evaluated against them on a regular, systematic basis, such as monthly.
A small steering committee consisting of key site and contractor management should jointly review the indicators periodically, in a conference call or physical meeting, and identify both good and subpar performance, developing and installing corrective action plans to resolve the latter.
This training seminar will ensure that you understand how to decide rationally what maintenance activities to outsource and what not, how to select the best maintenance contractor and how to evaluate the delivered performance of all parties involved. You will understand the different contract types, get the most from your contracts, avoid the potential pitfalls and improve the performance of your assets. Maintenance contracts used in several branches will be discussed. You will have the opportunity to discuss the existing contracts used in your organization. Through a combination of formal lectures and group work, you will leave the seminar with the tools to improve your contracts and contract management.
