Industrial plants using paper-based processes are stifling maintenance technicians’ wrench time and productivity, increasing the risks of unplanned downtime. How? By saddling them with time-consuming paperwork and administrative duties.
Techs dislike these chores. Managers see that up to three-quarters of a technician’s day is spent doing something other than turning a wrench. If such tasks were cut short or eliminated, maintenance workers would have more time for their primary job – fixing plant production machinery.
This whitepaper shows how a mobile EAM solution can make all parties happy while improving wrench time.
Key Takeaways:
- Eighty percent of all frontline workers spend an hour or more per week entering data into SAP.
- A mobile EAM application connects frontline technicians to back-office systems in real time.
- It increases direct wrench time simply by eliminating the clerical work associated with work orders.
- Eliminating paperwork improves accuracy and streamlines work order processing.
- It also simplifies maintenance operations, reduces costs, and boosts productivity.
