Description:

More and more manufacturing organizations are seeking to gain higher productivity from their maintenance workforce as a key strategy to stay cost competitive. As labor, material costs and backlogs rise, the challenge becomes just how to more effectively utilize the existing workforce. At PBF Refining in Paulsboro, New Jersey, the new science of “Complex Adaptive Systems” is being applied to the Work Management strategy as a “bottom- up”, feedback based approach to planning and scheduling excellence. This approach concentrates on building robust relationships at the field level and incorporates both a user friendly “work launch” for operator notification entry and a “work close-out” to consistently capture valuable information from the mechanic.
