Vol 13, No 1, Establishing the True Cost of Downtime - Brian Dunks, Engineering Manager, Frontec Maintenance Systems
This paper begins with a discussion of downtime and its effects, from the point of view of directors and managers. A consideration of the effects of downtime on the organisation then highlights the need for change, the catalyst for which is provided through ideas for auditing the organisation, and which sets the platform on which to improve. The paper then describes how information collected during the audit can be used to build up a model via which the potential savings to be achieved from an improvement project can be assessed. The paper concludes by outlining some of the tools that can be used to assist the management of change. Topics covered include: attitudes to downtime; effects of downtime; downtime auditing; savings modelling; downtime eradication tools.
