Summary of Key Deliverables for the Maintenance Program

1. Major Breakdown

The production teams which are logged into Polygon Software Productivity Tracking Module should have the ability to enter a “machine-down” event while logged into a Workstation. This will automatically notify both the Maintenance Department and select plant leadership via text. Once the machine-down event has started, the Productivity Tracking module will log the “non-productive” time until the Workstation is back up and producing.

2. Minor Repair

During normal production minor issues may arise such as overhead lighting, or a minor machine issue the team can work on. The system must have a method for either the leadership, Cell leads, or production employees logged into Productivity Tracking to enter minor repairs into the system.

3. Warehousing Parts

Key components for all the Workstation’s equipment be in the system. Example: A screen Print Press will contain the Press, Flash Units, Fans, computers, and a Dryer. The alternative system should have a method to know the critical components for each of these piece of equipment. In the event of a part being consumed into a Workstation the system should have the ability to remove the part Page | 1 SS Designs Maintenance Program Scope Document from a specific location into the Workstation. The cost of the parts should also be transferred to the Workstation, which will allow for specific cost reporting. Small/minor parts will not be considered for this tool.

4. Repair Scheduling

Key to the success of the program is the ability to build active maintenance backlogs, then can schedule time on the equipment to perform backlog maintenance work.

5. Maintenance Data Input

Upon completion of the maintenance activities, the system should allow for the Maintenance Technician to provide a method to complete backlog items. To complete these items the technician must enter the major components used, manhours involved, and notes. In addition, the maintenance tech should have the ability to enter backlog items discovered.

6. Preventative Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance is critical to a maintenance program. The tool must provide a method to create schedule, and complete both Operator Preventative Maintenance (OPM) and Preventative Maintenance (PM). OPM’s are activities which the production crew must, such as inspect safety switches, visual inspections, general cleaning, filter cleaning/replacement, and very minor items such as greasing. PMs are like OPM but require much more technical skill, such as checking oil levels, inspecting combustion chambers, etc. The tool should provide the ability to notify the specific team when an activity is due, provide a method for the team to complete, provide the ability to enter backlog items for repair, and manhours. Additionally, the tool should provide the ability to produce KPI reporting.

7. KPI Reporting

The tool should provide the ability to create specific reports to track the effectiveness of the maintenance program. This should include the ability to drill down to the specific pieces of equipment inside the workstation

Hear How Our Customers Have Grown A Hundred Fold

"The folks at Polygon have been crucial to the success of each implementation. They stay with the implementation until it is doing well and continue to support and enhance the system after implementation. Their knowledge of systems and manufacturing has been invaluable in helping us to become efficient and grow the company."

Peter Brink
COO of Amoena

"With the assistance of Polygon’s support staff, we were able to deploy PolyPM in 8 weeks, including 2 weeks in which we were shut down over the holiday period. By January 2 we had all of our orders and a complete raw material inventory in the system. Four months later we reduced our order backlog to weeks rather than months and brought the management of our inventory totally under control."

Rodrigo Bolanos
General Manager of League Central America

"We trained on PolyPM and the implementation was professionally managed. Any problems were self-inflicted, but Polygon’s staff helped guide us around them and kept us moving in the direction toward a successful implementation. My team is very happy with PolyPM."

Mark Gitomer
CEO of ProDept

"With the assistance of Polygon’s support staff, we were able to deploy PolyPM in 8 weeks, including 2 weeks in which we were shut down over the holiday period. By January 2 we had all of our orders and a complete raw material inventory in the system. Four months later we reduced our order backlog to weeks rather than months and brought the management of our inventory totally under control.

As a result, our customer service levels and fulfillment rates improved significantly. We’ve enjoyed the benefit of using many of PolyPM’s great features designed specifically for apparel makers. Over the years we’ve added Scan & Pack, EDI, shop floor tracking, sample development, cut planning, and production scheduling."
