Maintenance Management Outsourcing
Maintenance Management Outsourcing Overview
The difference with MCP’s approach to Maintenance Management Outsourcing is simple. Together we will put in place a contract-based level of performance that delivers bottom-line improvement that we can commit to.
We make this promise because we recognise that entrusting the management of core processes and activities to an outside partner is a major step. At best, it brings about incremental changes that make a critical difference to your competitiveness in a merciless marketplace.
Our Maintenance Management Outsourcing Programme of methodologies, strategies and tools have been honed and proven over 30 years working in the field of maintenance.
Maintenance Management Outsourcing Approach
Screening: Stage 1
This is where we present the concept, get your buy-in and sign a confidentiality agreement. We both get the opportunity to work together to make sure there’s a good business fit. We then agree to a high-level feasibility assessment to confirm our findings.
Feasibility Assessment and Gap Analysis. We will prepare the feasibility assessment on-site. We then present our findings and discuss the savings we have identified. Then you can act upon the results yourself or sign a letter of intent for MCP to develop the plan with you.
AMIS Assessment: Phase 2
We prepare the feasibility study and then perform an on-site assessment, the assessment analyzes the improvement potential. We then present the feasibility study, results and proposals.
Partnership Development: Phase 3
We always start as we mean to go on and put our start-up team in place before going live. We will implement our communication plan and assign key people who will be delivering the maintenance strategy. The people and the maintenance management arrangements are put in place, as well as the mobilization of all the resources needed. The business systems identified are implemented and tested.
Mobilisation and Implementation: Phase 4
Here we assess the training requirements and provide the new skills needed. We develop highly motivated staff who really care about your business. We implement the new performance measurement systems, so we have a common score card on progress. We will instigate the new maintenance practices and processes and perform reliability projects.
Contract Management and Development: Stage 5
Together we will operate a win/win transparent partnership where everyone shares in the success. Our focus will be on continuous improvement in all areas of manufacturing, making best practices and continuous improvement a way of life. Trained and well-motivated staff, proud of what they do and at the heart of what we do. You will get ongoing reports on the progress of all improvements, and an annual update on the maintenance strategy confirming increases in shareholder value.
Maintenance Management Outsourcing Benefits
MCP Consultants, Coaches and Trainers have delivered major improvements in former corporate industrial roles and have proven experience across a variety of industries.
Cost savings:
Cost control is a driving issue for most industries and a prime motive for outsourcing. In-house staff wages and benefits (such as pension, medical, vacation) may have become too costly for the company to subsidise. Cost is also a function of a contractor’s ability to flex up and down faster than in-house staff; additionally, hiring costs are absorbed by the contractor. An outsourced contractor assumes the burden of these, and other, financial liabilities associated with workers.
Staffing flexibility, expertise and work quality:
An outsourced provider can provide flexibility in delivering the proper staffing level and required skill set quickly, with less cost and time investment, as well as providing expertise that may not be available, or is inadequate, within the in-house staff. This expertise will also positively impact the quality of the work being performed. It provides the flexibility to utilise specialised services as needed, instead of incurring the cost of developing in-house competencies that are not needed on a permanent or continuous basis.
Personnel issues:
In the majority of instances, when a client completely outsources its maintenance function, personnel grievances, disciplinary actions and issues become the responsibility of the contractor. Former in-house activities such as payroll, time keeping, labour relations, HR, benefits, etc., are handled by the outsourced provider, releasing management from the responsibility and time requirements of doing so.
Core business focus:
Outsourcing allows management to concentrate on their core proficiencies and critical objectives to drive the business.
