Running Maintenance in FMCG Manufacturing With a CMMS

Ibnu Pookkayil, Engineering Supervisor at Gosh! Food, a B Corp-certified food manufacturer in Milton Keynes, joins the Comparesoft CMMS Podcast to explain what running maintenance in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturing really involves. Drawing on more than a decade of food-industry engineering, from a large plant in Saudi Arabia to a lean one-engineer-per-shift operation in the UK, Ibnu shares the disciplines that keep perishable products moving through tight delivery windows, and what an engineering team needs from a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS). In this episode, Ibnu talks about: What running maintenance at an FMCG manufacturer involves day to day How to prioritise when two production lines break down at once Why perishable products and tight delivery windows raise the cost of downtime The Friday planning meeting that brought maintenance under control Cutting reactive work from around 35 per cent to below 20 per cent How to approach preventive maintenance across older and newer lines The CMMS capabilities a small or mid-sized manufacturer actually needs Using fishbone (Ishikawa) analysis to break the firefighting cycle Listen and read more: https://comparesoft.com/cmms-software/manufacturing/fmcg/
