In its presentation “Best practice oriented, interactive optimization of maintenance activities between production and maintenance” ConMoto uses a case study to point out futureoriented risk and reliability based maintenance strategies and systematic approaches in the area of people involvement and implementation. Furthermore the lecture provides food for thought for an optimal budget and resources management as well as for the reduction of maintenance costs together with a simultaneous increase of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness. “As part of our superior Lean philosophy we understand Value Oriented Maintenance as a strategic factor for success” says Nils Blechschmidt, Senior Partner with the ConMoto Consulting Group. “The latest ConMoto study ‘Value Oriented Maintenance – The strategic dimension of the spanner’, which we are going to publish in the 1st quarter of 2011, shows, that numerous enterprises are still far away from Maintenance Excellence these days. Hence there is a need for action to be taken.” Read press release
