Not only has the maintenance system provided a means for addressing important safety issues, but the system has helped St. Marys progress toward world class maintenance standards. At the heart of St. Marys production are three major, critical production assets in the form of paper machines. For these machines, a percentage of maintenance downtime is budgeted against the machine availability. World class standards indicate that these type machines should have about 2.5% and 4.5% budgeted downtime according to equipment type. With the disciplined maintenance process provided by CHAMPS, each machine performed ahead of world class standards by better than one percentage point of actual downtime. The resulting downtime reduction made a positive impact toward production goals.
The world class performance standards are not new to St. Marys. The mill has consistently been able to perform ahead of world class standards with a proactive approach by finding potential problems before they occur through preventive maintenance, ensuring that spare parts are available, and improving planning for downtime work thus reducing the time to complete. Before CHAMPS was in place, downtime always exceeded the budgeted allocation in time and cost. Not only did it take longer to complete planned work, but equipment broke down more frequently from lack of preventive maintenance. CHAMPS became a welcome tool for change and helped set new standards in operational efficiencies.
Many would agree that success with respect to maintenance is measured in beating budgeted downtime and budgeted maintenance costs. Success with respect to a CMMS can be measured in terms of its acceptance among users. Maintenance systems in many installations are used exclusively by their maintenance departments and have trouble gaining a foothold elsewhere. At St. Marys, CHAMPS is accepted and in use to some degree by literally all departments. St. Marys considers that success.
