MAINTENANCE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

DIGIOVANI, (2003), Ephasied that once the assessment is completed,the benefit of the optimization program are defined and the technologies are selected, then it will enters the second phase, in other to establish implementation strategy. This strategy will include the assignment of a leader and the establishment of the data base for monitoring the impact of the program (metrics).
when implementing new maintenance program and processes,it may be best to start with a small effort and expand it over time, however,the current situation may not allow for this path. Therefore,in other to ensure there is a well organised implementation plan. The plan may be structured to accomplished the following:
---Built optimization program awareness and the entire plant support is required for success.
---Readiness to overcome resistance to:
                                                             Change of philosophy or maintenance strategy.
                                                             New technologies
                                                             New lines of communication
---Blueprint of the activities
---Be well defined to avoid mistakes.
To ensure success of implementation, a training program must be planned and resources be provided
for execution of the program and various types of training are recommended for proper implementation,and should be structured to provide the following:
---Maintenance strategy definitions
---Plant and facility personnel cultural change
---Program buy-in by the entire plant
---Program coordination.
---Technology level of awareness
---Technology data collection
---Technology data analysis
For technology to be implemented,training should be specific,to start the implementation rapidly, hand on training must be recommended.Due to the nature of these technologies, proficiency with equipment grows with experience.However, annual training budget should be provided in other to extend the technical knowledge of the personnel responsible for the monitoring tasks,and to train new personnel.All of these information should be provided in a training matrix (Emerson, 2003)
