Results Oriented Maintenance Management in Pulp and Paper Manufacturing, 1992 Engineering Conference Proceedings
The author describes which essential elements must be instituted in a maintenance organization in order to professionally manage maintenance.
He uses a case history that describes how a typical pulp and paper mill changed from poor maintenance practices towards world class maintenance or maintenance without waste.
Waste is described as the difference between how things could be and how things are.
The example mill described here achieved 10 - 16% improvement in productivity mainly through the implementation of a results oriented maintenance philosophy.
The author also summarizes what best performing mills are doing differently from others.
