Process Mapping for Maintenance Shops

Organizing and Managing Workflow at the Shop Level


This course is designed to help the maintenance shop organize their workflow and paper and present the results to management in such a way that the full resources of the company can be applied to improving asset reliability and increase sales dollars. ~ David Geaslin

Our Process Mapping for Maintenance Shops Training Program helps maintenance efforts to better manage their shops and make their efforts, limitations, and timelines totally transparent to operations managers and planners. Listed below are several areas we help them address:

Flowchart & Process Mapping - Identify and flowchart all work as it comes into the shop, through the shop, and the return to the user.

Flowchart Recordkeeping & Filing - Flowchart the document retention paths necessary to meet company objectives.

Flowchart the Parts Support Process - Flowchart how parts are ordered, tracked, stocked, and disbursed.

Flowchart Maintenance Control - Create an understanding of how to manage the workflow.

Create a Maintenance Control Board (MCB) - The effort to create a paperless management system has failed at the small maintenance shop level. It is not the fault of the maintenance manager but a way is needed to cope with the paper critical to accounting and government regulators that accumulates with every maintenance repair order (RO). This functional system offers:

A Graphically Display of Every Repair Order in the Shop

Awaiting Maintenance ~ In Work ~ Awaiting Parts
Out of Shop ~ Mechanic Finished ~ To Be Filed

Valuable Graphical Display of All Challenges and
Resources to Better Manage the Function of Maintenance

An Organized Method to Collect and Control All
Paper Documentation With Each RO

A Place Where Operations and Maintenance Managers Can
Stand and Plan What Assets Will Be Available and When

When these functions are in place, all can communicate easily and productivity increases, asset reliability goes up, maintenance costs go down, and safety improves.
