		<description><![CDATA[In the last few years, Sustainability has become a key issue in the food industry. It has grown as more and more people have understood that it is also a very profitable way to run a business. I have been asked several times how the maintenance function can contribute to sustainability.
The biggest contribution is that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have recently encountered a couple of clients that have capable CMMS systems, but do not have an accurate equipment list in them. This was caused by the rush to implement the system, and compounded by a lack of accurate information. One of the clients also had major new equipment recently installed and had not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the challenges in keeping up with trends for operational excellence is getting straight talk from people within your own organization. Tomorrow&#8217;s problems will most likely not be solved with today&#8217;s thinking. Consequently, it may behoove top management to seek opinions from those that will share daring alternatives to the status quo.

		<description><![CDATA[I have been in several food plants in the last several years that utilize the &#8220;line mechanic&#8221; approach to maintenance. What this typically means is that a mechanic is assigned exclusively to a production line and told to &#8220;make it run&#8221;.
When I discuss this with plant managers the arguments in favor of this approach go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our experience, most production plants measure some form of theoretical efficiency to measure success of a product line. Many, if not most, of the plants that claim to be measuring OEE (overall equipment effectiveness), are, in fact, measuring some form of efficiency. This is generally because measuring OEE requires far more rigor and precision [...]]]></description>

I have some bad news for you. If you are not already &#8220;organized&#8221;, a new system will just help you do all the wrong things a lot faster. It can&#8217;t help you, in and of itself, do things better.

		<description><![CDATA[Minor stoppages are one of the most insidious reducers of OEE on the production floor. The main reason for this is that the people who know the most about them, operators, often consider them as &#8220;normal&#8221; operating conditions. Thus they are not discussed as problems when line performance is reviewed.
Identifying these small events can be [...]]]></description>
