How Plastics Manufacturer Reduced Downtime by 20%- A Case Study
A leading plastics manufacturer was struggling with frequent machine breakdowns, leading to costly downtime and delays in production schedules. Each unplanned stoppage not only affected output but also led to missed deadlines, deliveries and increased operational costs. To address these challenges, we advised the company to adopt for a more proactive approach to equipment maintenance, which will improve machine reliability and eliminate unexpected failures.
The solution was to introduce a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) framework combined with predictive maintenance technology.
TPM focuses on empowering employees at all levels to take responsibility for the upkeep of machinery, aiming for zero breakdowns and zero defects. After several rounds of brainstorming sessions with process owners, frontline employees and stake holders, we implemented standardized maintenance procedures, trained operators to perform routine checks, and established a collaborative maintenance schedule.
Additionally, predictive maintenance technology was introduced to monitor machine health in real time. Through sensors and data analytics, the system could predict potential issues before they escalated, allowing maintenance teams to address them proactively.
The results were transformative. Within a couple of months, the company saw a 20% reduction in downtime, ensuring that production ran more smoothly and consistently. Maintenance costs dropped by 15% because the predictive approach reduced the need for emergency repairs, and extended the lifespan of critical components. Enhanced equipment reliability also led to greater production efficiency, allowing the company to meet deadlines and fulfill customer orders with confidence.
This success story highlights the power of preventive measures and proper maintenance protocols. By investing in TPM and predictive maintenance, the plastics manufacturer achieved not only immediate operational improvements but also set the foundation for long-term efficiency and savings.
Furthermore, with smoother, more reliable operations, the company strengthened its market position and built a resilient, future-ready production environment.
