The
4 quadrants of the diamond are:
1.
Work
Control Tools (efficiency) such as CMMS, Parts
Lists, and Planning and Scheduling
2.
Work
Performance Tools (effectiveness) such as PM, PdM,
Precision Skills and RCFA.
3.
Integration
Tools – such as integration of islands, cost
optimization and standardizing on best practices.
4.
Sustainability
Tools – such as knowledge transfer,
communications, and metrics.
The
paper will focus on example costs and benefits from
each of the four quadrants.
However, these are just examples of factors
that should go into a complete business case, for a

Work
Control Tools consist of
all the administrative tools that are designed to
control maintenance work and enhance worker
productivity.
Elements under Work
Control Tools include;
·
ERP/EAMS/CMMS
·
Planning and Scheduling
·
Workflow
Analysis
·
Information Systems
·
Resources
·
Data
The
benefits of a well designed and deployed set of Work
Control Tools are optimized worker productivity,
relieving skilled people from mundane and time-wasting
activities, and freeing them up for more value-added
technical activities on equipment.
In other words, increased wrench-time frees up
resources to work on Work Performance Initiatives.
Case in Point from Doc
Palmer's book, Maintenance Planning and Scheduling:
- Three Persons
without "Planning" => 3 X 35% = 105%
- Two Persons with
"Planning" =>1X0% + 2 X 55% = 110%
- Break Even is 3
Persons
- 55%/35% = 1.57 (57%
Improvement)
- One planner can plan
for 20 to 30 persons
- 30 persons X 1.57 =
47 persons (17 extra persons)
- Presume $34/hour
- 17 person X $34/hr X
2080 hr/yr => $1,202,240 per year

Properly
implemented Planning and Scheduling
increases worker productivity, which frees
them up to work on other, more value-added
activities.
