i t d inventory management.
t t
UNCFSD purchased a Facilities Maintenance Management System (FMMS) in 1998 and uses
CMMS for plant maintenance within it’s Co-Generation plant maintenance operation. CMMS has
served well over the past years since Co-Generation plant construction in the early 1990’s. From the
facilities side there were opportunities to improve the MRO supply chain processes particularly with
side, processes,
regard to warehousing operations, inventory management and purchasing modules for maintenance
and construction materials.
UNCFSD determined that it was time to evaluate how well their over facilities management
operations was working and what new technologies with regard to a FMMS systems and MRO
supply chain could take it into the 21st century. More demands for services were imminent with
recent passage of a $3.1 Education Bond Issue for construction for the overall UNC system of 16
campuses plus community colleges.
The following engineering activities were provided:
Completed a comprehensive supply chain and maintenance needs analysis. This included
interviews with approximately 100 personnel at all levels of the organization to determine how
MRO materials management and the FMMS was performing for the entire organization. This

Rockwell International (now AMERITOR)
The Rockwell International (Rockwell) site in Wisconsin manufactures large transmissions and axle assemblies
for heavy construction and transportation equipment.
Rockwell’s maintenance program was in desperate need of effective storeroom operations, work management,
p g p p , g ,
PM execution and lack of even basic CMMS functionality was creating a serious challenge for effective plant
operations throughput. Effective maintenance management was a serious missing link.
To get immediate help before catastrophic failures, Rockwell engaged Advanced Technology Services Inc
(ATS) to manage maintenance, improve/operate the storeroom, establish CMMS and to provide a maintenance
planner via contracted services. This project was a partnering effort between MEI staff and ATS to help
Rockwell implement essential best practices within this highly unionized environment.
ATS determined that it was necessary get basic practices in place so that their contract services could perform.
More demands for equipment reliability, increase uptime, better quality from precision machining centers,
regulatory compliance, and better service from existing craft resources made the topic of achieving
compliance
maintenance excellence a business survival opportunity.
The following engineering services to support the Rockwell manufacturing plant were provided:
Completed review of existing asset database on legacy system, prepared and migrated asset data to
CMMS.

technical leadership of facilities management and maintenance operations in all regions.
Through their Advanced Maintenance Process (AMaP), FAMO was implementing a progressive and comprehensive
five-year maintenance excellence initiative throughout BCAG and pursuing the implementation of world-class
maintenance practices.
p
FAMO leaders were very committed to improving, standardizing and supporting corporate-wide maintenance best
practices and having a system in place to measure results.
After introducing the AMaP program at BCAG, FAMO leaders needed a method to benchmark results, measure
benefits, identify obstacles to progress, and determine improvements needed to make AMaP more effective.
FAMO needed to review the best practice elements of their AMaP program and to develop a Boeing Scoreboard for
Facilities Maintenance Excellence.
In turn, the internal benchmarking guide that evolved would be used to provide an objective evaluation of AMaP
progress at each region down to group (maintenance manager) and team first line supervisor) levels.
Part of the solution included using The Scoreboard for Facilities Management Excellence as the baseline guide
and working with the FAMO team to determine the key AMaP evaluation criteria to be added.
The Boeing Scoreboard for Facilities Management Excellence was developed &define the BCAG maintenance
excellence strategy, providing evaluation criteria to measure implementation progress at all levels in FAMO. A craft
survey was developed and conducted with over 3000 members of the craft work force.

is
i a major competitive advantage. Th reliability of equipment will reflect i lf i the b
j ii d The li bili f i ill fl itself in h bottom li with

increased uptime as well as quality consistency. Thus, it was only natural for the company to start a major
maintenance upgrade for all facilities. With advanced maintenance practices and with the collaboration of
Mark 1045, Inc., a poultry processing specific consulting company, Goldkist was able to reduce the amount
o downtime and dramatically p o e a te a ce operations. e o e p e e tat o
of do t e a d d a at ca y improve maintenance ope at o s Before implementation at each facility, it
eac ac ty, t
was necessary to develop defined processes, controls and techniques for World Class Maintenance Best
Practices. This allowed accountability at all levels and standardization of methods, procedures and metrics
for all plants.
For example, a pocket card for each maintenance technician reported actual equipment downtime allowing
example downtime,
downtime trends to be developed. From this, a root cause analysis method was used to focus on recurring
problems. By correcting these problems one at a time, the effect on downtime and thru-put was
immediately dramatic and quickly placed the maintenance department in an active instead of the familiar
reactive mode. The new techniques were readily accepted at all levels as the rank and file clearly
understood their value. The maintenance operation was transformed from a defensive and reactive
organization to an aggressive , lean and more valuable team utilizing proven techniques and procedures.
Other techniques such as a week-end planning and scheduling method improved the week-end project and
maintenance work. These improvements resulted in more time off and reduced overtime for maintenance
work
technicians. In all, there were about twelve key practices that needed to be integrated into the present way
of doing business. It took about eight weeks at each plant location to ingrain the new processes.

Goldkist Farms
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Implementation of maintenance practices consistently and expeditiously across multiple plants
required support and accountability of the organizations leaders. Because of its reputation as
an industry leader, this process presented many challenges. There were plants operating with
pockets of excellence and plants that needed major changes and improvements. Some of the
challenges were as follows:
Maintenance and organizational culture
Organization and administration
Work authorization and work control
Budget and cost control
Maintenance planning and scheduling
Preventative and predictive maintenance
Strict FDA compliance and high quality standards
Multiple

30. Case Study
Goldkist Farms
SCOPE-OF-WORK:
The Project Team developed a methodology to do the project implementation one plant at a
time. Before moving to the next plant, all processes had to be in place and working well. An
audit was developed to go back and review how things were going after several months
working without the consultants. This provided a way to stay on course and utilize refinements
that were developed. It provided a path-forward for developing a long-range strategic
maintenance plan that was fully integrated into a process that upgraded the use of technology
and streamlined the maintenance operation to improve the use of valuable resources. The
upgrade of a CMMS can now be done with a new sense of urgency and understanding of how
new technology can benefit maintenance operations.
RESULTS:
Goldkist was able to improve trade utilization, parts inventory and reallocate resources as a
result of this endeavor. Goldkist was able to standardize more meaningful processes and to
continue with efforts in preventative maintenance, planning and scheduling and trade
utilization. By improving the basic processes of asset management, Goldkist increased the
f G
visibility of maintenance in its organization and enhanced the competitive advantage to make
the care of the equipment a key component for the poultry business. The collateral cost
savings have been significant and permanent.
