Why PRIDE-in-Maintenance?
PRIDE-in-Maintenance is our Domain Name
The name has two primary meanings; both are very important to us:
- First, it is about sincere pride in the profession of maintenance and reliability. It is having a true understanding about the importance of maintenance. It is the crafts workforce performing quality work they are proud of and maintenance leaders managing maintenance as if it were their own personal business. Three levels of leaders must gain PRIDE-in-Maintenance:
All three levels must focus upon Total Operations Success!
- Second, and most important, PRIDE in Maintenance is about -
.
If you are a Top Leader reading this my goal is for you to truly understand the importance of maintenance. Listen to the Maintenance Leader that brings facts about the high costs of gambling with maintenance. If you are a Maintenance Leader go beyond just managing the "status quo" and truly lead forward to reliability and maintenance excellence. I see Craft Leaders being everywhere; a site's only real expert in a trade, a lead person for a shift or a crew, a foreman or supervisor. True Craft Leaders must lead from the trenches and at the customer's level.
We will talk repetitively about the positive attitudes, the foundation philosophies and the proactive practices you must have for both Profit-Centered Maintenance (PCM) and Customer-Centered Maintenance (CCM). And you must understand the important synergistic multiplying effect that a PCM and CCM attitude can have. Your impact to the bottom line as a leader, manager or crafts person is mission-critical. Your work goes beyond that and is mission-essential, a core requirement for total operations success.
