🛑 Engineering never stops!!!!! Whilst other departments are starting to adjust their processes for the Christmas rush ahead, engineering never stops. Whether it is Easter season, Summer season or the Christmas rush, the engineering departments continue to work around the clock to ensure the factories production lines never stop and are performing to the desired standard. So I ask all engineering managers these questions: ⁉ How many holes in your team are currently being covered by overtime? ⁉ How much pressure is being applied to you because downtime is too high? ⁉ Is balancing project pipeline and engineering needs alongside the day to day PPMs and operation running smoothly? ⁉ What is the cost benefit analysis when bringing in a contractor to ensure money is not being lost by slow production numbers? ⁉ What do I need to do so you pick me first to resolve the above? Reach out today and have access to the best contract engineers in your area, who are immediately available and ready to reduce the high levels of downtime and have production firing on all cylinders. ☎ Call me today to discover how I can help.

Can you believe this? A supposed 2-hour maintenance job can take 6 to 8 hours to finish... …all because the job wasn’t properly planned for. And you might think I’m exaggerating… But I’m not. It’s something I’ve seen repeatedly in organisations stuck in the firefighting culture. And there are a lot of reasons why this could happen… … technicians looking for missing parts … incorrect repair methodology in the work instruction … the job was labeled “ready for execution” when it truth, it wasn’t Among other reasons. But on the flip side... If you effectively implement maintenance planning & scheduling in your organisation, you can actually do things faster, and save a few hours. Just imagine… What would you do if your team had an extra few hours a day? Hours you gained NOT because you did overtime… or you skipped a few tasks. No. But because you were efficient. What would you do? #planningandscheduling #maintenance #ReliabilityAcademy

You're in charge of a maintenance crew of about a dozen good men, maintaining the hundreds of machines which support the hundreds of people that are manufacturing these parts! Everything is running smooth, then all of the sudden, BAM! One of the machines go down! You assemble a crew of your best mechanics and tear into the machine, only to find a broken shaft! You go the the MRO only to find that they don't have one in stock! You call the machine manufacturer and find out that they have either gone out of business or are so slammed themselves that it will be weeks before they can get you a new part! You call your usual machine shop service provider and find out that they are slammed too, working everyone overtime and it will be weeks before they can get to your repair! The plant manager screams, "this could shut us down!" "What are our options?"

To what extent does Engineer/Contract Administrator/Project Manager allow the Contractor to work at his "own risk"?   Majority of the Construction Contracts use output-based specification and not process based specification. For an example, the specified structural concrete strength is 30Mpa strength over 28days. As part of quality control, the Engineer/Contract Administrator/Project Manager may require test results for 7days and 14 days but based on the specification, the Contractor is not obliged to conduct tests at 7days nor 14days obtained strength gained. Usually, concrete attains 2/3 of its strength during the first 7 days. If it fails to achieve the 2/3 strength, it is an indication that it may not reach the desired strength.   Since concrete strength increases overtime, the Contractor says that he wants to work at his own risk after the concrete had failed to achieve the 2/3 of the specified strength since the specification requires 30Mpa after 28days. The Contractor in this case goes ahead and build the second floor and completes the building including roofing whilst the concrete slab is gaining strength. After 28days, the concrete slab failed to meet the required strength as per the specifications after various tests were conducted by the Contractor.   Now the Engineer/Contract Administrator/Project Manager instructed the Contractor to demolish the building and recast the floor slab. The Contractor abandons the site and now the risk reverts to the Employer. Now, to what extent does engineer/contract administrator/project manager allow the Contractor to work at his "own risk"?

Are you really aware of all the costs related to process equipment replacement (valves, actuators, heaters, traps, pressure safety valves, tank blanking system, etc...)? How worthed is fixing equipment over and over than replacing it with a new one? General speaking, there are three types of direct costs related to the procurement of new equipment or repairing the old one: 1) Visible cost: related to the procurement of the equipment/repair parts - how much the equipment/repair kits itself cost you. This is often the only cost most people look at. I have learned that in many cases, we chose price over quality, which most often costs us more during the equipment's lifetime. 2) Hidden cost: associated with the equipment/repair but not part of the purchase price - examples: labour, disposal (sometimes decontamination), work coordination, overtime, equipment rentals, contractors, etc. Are you considering how many hours of engineering work have been used to choose a piece of equipment? Are you familiar with how much cost you just to issue a PO for a new equipment or repair kit? Do you need to rent equipment for doing the replacement, or do know how much cost to own a crane, for example? 3) Intangible cost: it cannot be measured but affect the overall replacement/repair cost - examples: risk associated with the health and safety of workers, delays on delivery or in production, your customer and/or employees' satisfaction, unplanned shut-down due to equipment failure with production loss. The intangible cost is the highest cost an organization may have and does not account for it. Let us help you choose the best solutions. Our goal is to help you save time and money through the whole procurement process of any process equipment. CALL THE OFFICE AT (519) 337.7677 and LET'S TALK!!!
