Nampak Liquid Packaging (NLP) saw the opportunity and decided to implement the PRAGMA`sBURO Service as a national maintenance management solution, which in turn yielded the added benefits of internal benchmarking and standardisation among the factories. Implementation of the BURO service at 5 NLP sites was completed during December 1997.
Tjaart van der Walt, Operations Manager, had this to say about NLP`s motivation for implementing the BURO service and what they expected to achieve from this implementation.
"NLP has chosen the BURO service that PRAGMA offers for the following reasons:
* Administration of a preventative maintenance system is very specialised and requires unique skills and equipment that is costly.
* The effective and efficient implementation of a preventative maintenance system requires experience and the cost is often once off.
* Unbiased co-ordination, recording and reporting of the maintenance programme to the plants.
Our expectations are high:
* We expect the system to be a system for the Floor, designed by them and maintained by them.
* We expect the plant to be more available.
* We expect higher efficiencies and this must reduce our cost of manufacturing and make us more productive.
* We expect our quality of production to improve and make us more competitive.
* We expect quick returns."
The BURO service has provided NLP with these capabilities through:
* Better job planning.
* Continuous improvement of practices.
* Drive and focus on planned maintenance.
"The results have been one of a standardised, utilised and sustainable maintenance management solution for NLP," says Alan Tait, PRAGMA Business Development Manager.
