GENERAL MANUFACTURER CASE STUDY

THE PROBLEM:

The company needed to have clean out and service of its central coolant system, but lacked expertise and resources to complete the job during scheduled shutdown. Waste disposal companies could handle pressure washing and general cleaning, but could not evaluate and repair system mechanicals. Production uptime is critical to the manufacture and they wanted a true production maintenance program, not just a machine and sump cleaning. Production was suffering and the alternatives of outsourcing or moving the job to other equipment within the same plant were not desirable to our customer.

THE HARRIGAN SOLUTION:

Harrigan Solutions was contracted to complete a plant production maintenance. We put together a detailed plan based on equipment history and initial evaluations, with an understanding of typical wear components. We contacted appropriate plant personnel and worked with them ahead of time to eliminate surprises..

RESULTS:

The project was completed ahead of schedule, with all quality expectations met or exceeded. The manufacturer also benefited from a 50% reduction in labor and supplies compared to customer expectation, based on previous service.
