PROBLEM
MaterialsCo. was struggling with increasing breakdowns at its
factories, due to lack of consistent maintenance practices. In order to
reduce this, they wanted to standardize the maintenance processes
across all factories. They sought to understand existing maintenance
practices and identify maintenance management solutions.

APPROACH – PHASE I
Mapping maintenance process to identify optimization opportunities
Mapping the overall repair process of the 4 factories. There were
identified issue areas within the process, categorized them as process
or organizational issues, and listed the reasons for their presence. Next,
the impact of key issues was identified on each individual factory site.

APPROACH – PHASE II
Scout new maintenance management software
Analyzed different sources to develop a list of 41 maintenance
management software providers and 12 were shortlisted. Demo
sessions were conducted to understand the key features offered & UI.
Finally, 5 of these solutions were selected for a further deep dive.

APPROACH – PHASE III
Analysis of CMMS requirements and ranking of new CMMS solutions
Identified different CMMS in use across different factories and
developed a list of key features. Capabilities of the solutions were
evaluated with requirements, and were ranked according to support,
maintenance process, their cost, and their user-friendliness.

RESULT
Sprintly team provided MaterialsCo. with a roadmap to achieve its
maintenance process optimization goals and proposed a guideline for
the management to choose the right CMMS solution. This project
accelerated progress on MaterialsCo.’s maintenance optimization
project by 6-8 months.
