Rather than scrambling to make repairs, the operators and maintenance team can focus on production and bigger goals. This has been a welcome benefit of the new training. The upgraded components and access to common spare parts have streamlined maintenance and increased overall production.
Furthermore, since the pandemic, it was a challenge to keep additional technical support resources at the facility. With the new equipment and key learnings from the audit, there is significantly less unplanned emergency work for those already overworked resources. Instead of continually struggling to maintain or repair those systems, the technical and maintenance team can shift to other work and priorities, a powerful benefit of the project.
After the work, OTC is also able to better support the manufacturer. OTC works closely with the facility, integrated with and operating more like a member of the team in assisting production and providing maintenance support at the site.
With the completion of the site audit and upgrades, the manufacturer has begun planning future finishing system upgrades with OTC.
