Taking into account the fact that most machines that make the most of work consist of smaller engines and parts, it is obvious that when the great machine breaks, it is usually due to small components works antagonistically. Detail of the time tested method to increase productivity and lower operating costs, spend analysis and specification development, using the failure to define the specifications of the components on the basis of the contract, describe the equipment and items, which are most affected by the downtime and repair/replacement of the operating costs.
The book emphasizes the critical need to perform both spend and failure analysis for the development of the procurement document, which will eventually reduce the costs. Complete with numerous examples, images and case studies, the text discusses how to:
• Examine the cost analysis as it relates to operations, maintenance, and production
• Drawing up of performance-based contracts in order to reduce the direct and indirect costs
• Determine the characteristics of effective criteria, test results and requirements of each operation
• Identify which products will pay for most if they do not
Written by an expert with decades of experience in seminars with clients and associates and authoring numerous publications and articles, provides a real-world understanding of the physical properties of the components and materials needed for the influential, effective use of resources and failure analysis. It deals with the delivery of the product and the monitoring of, and includes useful tools, so you can immediately start doing the cost-saving you.
