The Drive to Zero Downtime

The time invested in building reliability initiatives can pay huge dividends in the future. Systems and equipment can become more reliable and allow food and beverage manufacturers to fulfill safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives.

An important factor in understanding asset reliability is in its relationship to overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Asset reliability initiatives are focused on two key areas within OEE loss: planned downtime events and unplanned downtime events. Source: PMMI’s OpX Leadership Network OEE guidelines report.

While there may be as many definitions of asset reliability as there are consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers to define it, most all agree that the primary goal of undertaking an asset reliability initiative is zero downtime and maximizing asset life.

PMMI’s OpX Leadership Network recently commissioned the Asset Reliability Solutions Group to undertake a work product on asset reliability in order to get CPGs and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) on the same page regarding definitions, key performance indicators (KPI), calculations, and leadership guidance when developing an asset reliability initiative. The work product is nearing completion and will be available later this year.
