| dc.description.abstract | An analysis of the current performance
of the Preventive Maintenance (PM) process was
conducted for the four main areas of a
pharmaceutical company: Manufacture, Utilities,
Laboratory, and Facilities. The current
performance of the PM process was found to be out
of the expected target. Trends and detonating
factors were identified, and four alternatives were
implemented to improve the PM process
performance. These alternatives included: cross
training, improvements to the planning process,
updating current procedures, and a continuous
improvement and monitoring strategy to sustain the
optimized performance. A significant improvement
in the percentage of on-time PM completion has
been observed. A continuous improvement strategy
is in place to sustain the optimized performance.
