Machinery and Company Assets
Together with People, industrial machinery is the most valuable asset of every manufacturing company. That is why an organised, effective and efficient industrial machinery maintenance structure is essential: it is not just about repairing breakdowns, but about preventing them to ensure business continuity.
To achieve this goal, fischer Consulting supports companies in creating an integrated maintenance system that involves the entire organisation: operators, maintenance technicians, planners and the purchasing department.
Our Pillars
The proposed development path covers several areas, including:
Industrial Machinery Maintenance Strategy
A winning strategy requires a carefully calibrated balance between corrective interventions and preventive actions. This approach makes it possible to slash unexpected costs and ensure maximum plant availability. Here is how we set the priorities:
Maintenance Balancing: we integrate breakdown maintenance with preventive maintenance plans aimed at minimising sudden machine stoppages.
Machine Classification: we analyse the machine fleet and assign priorities based on critical impact on production, thereby optimising the allocation of resources.
Autonomous Maintenance (TPM): we train line operators to handle a first level of autonomous maintenance, ensuring that industrial machinery is constantly kept in optimal condition.
Cost Management: we monitor and optimise every maintenance-related cost item, turning a cost centre into a factor of financial sustainability.
Maintenance Assessment: Workload Analysis
The effectiveness of industrial machinery maintenance is measured through objective data. We take a methodical approach to evaluating and enhancing equipment performance:
Strategic KPIs: we monitor key indicators such as Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for an in-depth understanding of the reliability of your industrial machinery.
Performance Comparison: we carry out comparative analyses between actual and expected performance to identify bottlenecks or the need for revamping.
Resource-Workload Balance: we balance the technical team’s workload against the real needs of the plants, for timely and effective responses.
Ticket and Work Order Traceability: we implement systems for the systematic classification of Maintenance Work Orders (MWOs) by priority and type, ensuring transparency and operational responsiveness.
Spare Parts Management for Industrial Plants
Poor spare parts management can bring production to a standstill. fischer Consulting provides solutions to rationalise the stores and ensure operational continuity:
Master Data and Locations: we create detailed databases in which every component for industrial machinery maintenance is coded and easy to find.
Replenishment Logic: we set reorder rules based on historical consumption and forecasts, eliminating the risk of stock-outs or excess inventory.
Stock Strategies: we define the optimal quantity of critical spare parts, balancing immediate availability with the need to avoid tying up capital unnecessarily.
Support in Adopting CMMS Software
To maximise the effectiveness of industrial machinery maintenance, it is crucial to digitalise processes with a suitable CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System):
Scouting: we analyse your specific industrial needs to identify the CMMS software best suited to your business.
Implementation: we manage the integration of the software into your business workflows, ensuring that the IT architecture is aligned with Maintenance 4.0 objectives.
Training: we provide tailored training programmes so that teams are autonomous and competent in using the tool, making machinery maintenance a data-driven process.
