About the Book
Synchronous planned maintenance is a concept that’s focused on organizational structure, systems, processes, policies, procedures, and practices.
Dysfunction in these management controls is one of the primary causes of work constraints in the plant maintenance workplace. These constraints result in excessive maintenance costs and losses as seen over the past sixty years.
Robert S. Hilligoss, a General Motors veteran, shares a paradigm shift in how to think about plant maintenance operations. He provides:
• tips on saving money and avoiding costs;
• advice on improving maintenance and other critical functions;
• guidance on turning maintenance operations into a money maker.
When organizations fail to focus on systems, processes, policies, procedures and practices, they become dysfunctional, resulting in workplace constraints that extend machine downtime and increase the cost of production.
Find out how to design and implement SPM to reduce maintenance and production costs and boost your bottom line with this guide.
