Maintenance and Support

Without the proper maintenance and support, your systems can become unreliable — leading to unscheduled downtime, product waste and a decrease in profitability. To help you reduce these risks, Lean Automation provides a range of factory maintenance planning services and plant maintenance support as part of our sustaining services offering. We’ll work with you to develop a custom solution that meets your specific needs for stability, performance and functionality across an ever-increasing range of legacy, hosted and proprietary systems.

Today Manufacturers need to have a deep understanding of their business, of the Systems and packaged solutions in play, and agile processes, and of the industry best practices. Support requirements at this level are as much about increasing productivity as they are about maintaining/improving the quality of services.

Lean takes a comprehensive approach to provide maintenance process solutions from staffing support to design-for-ease maintenance solutions (or processes); with a focus on eliminating unplanned outages. We work with you to fully understand your maintenance requirements and develop a holistic proactive plan for supporting your systems. Our process entails detail design engineering, sub-system process segregation, commissioning, training plans, and preventive maintenance processes for ease of maintenance during outages, increased uptime, and lower cost. Our end goal is to ensure a cost effective maintainable and operable process or facility for operations to manage. Our diverse industry experience allows sharing of maintenance process best practices with all our customers.
