'Lean’ doesn’t always mean less

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Sean

The phrase “Lean maintenance” lends itself to an onslaught of requisite punch lines …

“Our maintenance is so lean …

    * “You can read through it.”
    * “If it turned sideways and stuck out its tongue, it would look like a zipper.”
    * “It has to run around in the shower to get wet.”

Most professional plant leadership understand that Lean maintenance has nothing to do with thinning out warm bodies, or more directly, reducing maintenance resources. Rather, it has to do with enhancing the value-added nature of our reliability efforts.
