This document discusses the roles of maintenance in enabling operational excellence at pharmaceutical companies. It outlines how adopting a total productive maintenance (TPM) approach and focusing on planned maintenance, autonomous maintenance, and focused improvement can help reduce downtime and costs. Some key achievements discussed include implementing OEE metrics, developing energy management programs, and improving maintenance key performance indicators over time through the TPM approach. Challenges that can arise include lack of data accuracy, weak root cause analysis practices, and ensuring maintenance remains focused on business results and continuous improvement.

TPM is considered
as the “medical
science of the
interaction of
humans and
machines”
TPM “Vision to Success” in Pharma
It is a culture focused in the personnel and equipment improvement in order to produce quality
product the first time

14. Critical Analysis of Maintenance Indicators
The Achilles' heel of Maintenance Department
1. Decision making based on gut-feeling
rather than data (no specific maintenance
KPI’s)
2. Lack of Failure analysis
3. Lack of meeting discipline and/ or
discussions without any outcome
Failure analysis and improvement
1. Select a failure and identify where
defects were first introduced through
the use of root cause analysis
2. Apply formal CI in maintenance
activities - use charts (indicators) to
prioritize problems and start with „A“
priorities
3. Empower your team towards
commitment (don‘t let accountability
fade due to not showing up)

Maintenance

Maintenance
Level of responsibility drops (e.g. tagging)
Lack of teamwork (e.g. ‘You operate, I fix’)
Lack of knowledge transference for operators to properly
identify and fix abnormalities (e.g. tasks transfer)
Lack of feedback about abnormalities reported (tags)
Lack of top-down empowerment of maintenance staff
Natural resistance to change

Maintenance Operations
18. Autonomous Maintenance
Operation asset care asset accountability
TPM is not a Maintenance program
− Engineering Know-How is crucial to
make it happen
PU Heads and Line Managers not
involved might lead program to fail
− Determine how fast result is attainable
− Training to the management group to
show them the value of the AM
The program is not incorporated to
the day job
− Objectives linked to bonus scheme
− Resources and support (external or
internal) planned in site’s budget
Equipment reliability driven
exclusively by maintenance staff
− Be more open to operator asset care
Personnel development for
unskilled workers
− OPL and skill matrix focused on raising
the skill of personnel to understand, own,
and improve their equipment

21. Focused Improvement
Maintenance accountability for KPI’s data collection and PDCA cycle effectiveness
You don’t get clean
decisions from dirty data Check:
Lack of “accurate” data
− Stoppages booked by
operators not checked by
maintenance staff
− Seen as additional workload
− It‘s not about staff control
− SAP PM vs. OEE systems
Lack of root cause analysis culture
− Focus only on operational and short term
urgencies (no recurring down time analysis)
− Lack of transparency (“indicator phobia”,
misuse of data)
− Lack of sponsorship
− Unavailability of specialized resources

23. Communication
Having TPM on the agenda at all levels of the organization is essential to its success
Monthly Agenda
Consultant
Agenda
Weekly Agenda
Lack of meeting discipline (e.g. people don‘t show up, not
sticking to the agenda)
Be organized (Visits can be a «burden» if not aligned with other site
priorities)
Create a local visual management (e.g. board) where main
information and updates can be posted
Show up with frequency (but not take the responsibility away from
the team)
Establish walk-troughs to check the work and coach the adjustment
Get site manager to visit the meeting regularly
23 Maintenance roles for enabling Operational Excellence | Pharma M2R Minds 2014, Berlin - Germany
24. TPM experience
Right balance between maintenance staff and internal/ external consultants
Focus on Results
Ensure that the process does not
become more important than the business
results
Show how they will be successful
Improving the
equipment will be well-supported
by operators
External Support
Benchmark to other
sites to show practical
practices
More cultural
awareness and
understanding of local
situation
More knowledge of specific skills (e.g.
SAP-PM, PM tasks, etc.)
24 Maintenance roles for enabling Operational Excellence | Pharma M2R Minds 2014, Berlin - Germany
Maintenance effectiveness
PM plans must have a formal annual
review process
PM tasks optimized acc. learnings and
specific knowledge

problems will strengthen
support for the TPM
project
Empowerment
TPM implementation
is more efficient and
sustainable when the
Team owns it
Team members are
the best persons to
identify and eliminate problems
Reward for their contribution to change
success
Promote TPM and best practices on site
