Why is it important for the future of our companies to implement a performance management strategy for industrial assets?
The Maintenance & Engineering function has a powerful influence on minimising the environmental footprint, improving personal safety and guaranteeing the performance of increasingly high-tech industrial facilities. Eminently cross-functional, the Maintenance & Engineering function is on the front line to make a success of today’s energy and ecological transitions, while taking advantage of the efficiency levers offered by digitalisation.
Current challenges
With the Maintenance & Engineering function, managing the balance between the availability of industrial assets and costs means minimising environmental impact, ensuring the safety of goods and people, innovating to improve industrial performance and developing the profitability of industrial assets.
Managing this delicate balance requires a synthesis of short-term (breakdown repairs), medium-term (preventive maintenance) and long-term (investment and innovation) timescales, as well as a synthesis of people (skills and organisation) and technologies (traditional skills and 4.0 equipment).
