Taking a Lean Approach to PM Optimization
How You Have Your PMs Addressing The Right Issues, Make The Effective
In the previous articles, we looked at what type of analysis to use to evaluate the effectiveness of the PMs and if they are cost effective. Once the PMs have been optimized to ensure they are addressing the right failure modes, then they need to be made efficient. Below is an excerpt from a recent article in SMRP’s Solutions Magazine on how to make PM efficient using the lean tools.
PM Optimization is often thought of as an […]
