| Steering efficiency into the production line
|
Inside an automotive factory, the assembly line has halted. A new car should be rolling off this line every minute and 12 seconds. But a malfunction in a complex power tool on the track—where cars move steadily from one assembly position to the next—has stopped the vehicles rolling forward. Senior managers know that downtime is bad news—31 percent of stoppages result in lost production that cuts right into the bottom line.
As part of the enterprise asset management solution, IBM Maximo® Asset Management software tools were implemented to achieve the following. -
Lessen the likelihood of production line stoppages and shorten the length of those that do occur.
-
Drive a cost reduction program on the high-budget maintenance of those assets, such as the growing population of paint shop robots and the multiplicity of complex power tools on the assembly line.
-
Take preventive action as newer models are introduced and work out how to use the labor and materials that are needed to more effectively carry out both preventive maintenance and to limit any emergency repairs.
