Are you happy with what you’ve got?

Ledet who is ex Dupont, says that in the ” Du Pont benchmark study, the most reliable performance in the world was Total Productive Maintenance. It was also the least expensive to achieve and sustain. ”

Then he goes on to say that “  The conventional wisdom is that maintenance best practices are planning, scheduling, preventative maintenance, optimized procurement, and predictive maintenance. ”

I’d say that some form of continuous improvement process has to be a given too. Otherwise, the best that we can hope for is that the performance will stay the same – and who would be happy with that?
