06 — Manufacturing & Maintenance

Maintenance Strategy & Planning

We design maintenance strategies that line up with your production plan, your safety obligations and your cost base — rather than existing as a separate world that operations works around.

We analyse current processes, skills, data and spare parts to set an approach that is realistic today and still scales in three years. From process design and EAM support through to spare-parts policy.

Your challenges

What's holding you back right now?

  • Unplanned downtime and firefighting consume the entire maintenance calendar.
  • EAM, ERP and shop-floor data disagree with each other and with reality.
  • Roles, workflows and KPIs are inconsistent between plants.
  • Maintenance windows are planned without reference to production peaks.
  • Reporting is manual, late and routinely disputed in the meeting.
When it matters

You'll benefit when you are…

  • Resetting maintenance policy for critical assets
  • Preparing an EAM or CMMS change or consolidation
  • Standardising workflows across plants or depots
  • Linking maintenance windows to the production plan
  • Reducing safety, compliance or audit exposure
  • Building skills and staffing plans for growth
Outcomes

What we deliver

A maintenance strategy

Policy, tactics and service levels defined per asset class and grounded in failure data.

Process and EAM design

Standard workflows, clear roles and a system setup that reflects how work really happens.

A skills and staffing plan

Coverage, shift patterns, training and contractor mix matched to the workload.

A data and reporting foundation

One source of truth with automated, role-based dashboards.

Risk and compliance control

Safety concepts, failure modes and audit-ready records built into the process.

Turn maintenance from a cost centre into a lever on throughput.

What makes us different

Augment Cloud experts at your service

  • A hybrid team of consultants, maintenance practitioners and system architects.
  • A vendor-independent view combined with hands-on delivery rather than a strategy deck.
  • Strong process and data capability, from EAM design through to automated BI.
  • Proven experience in manufacturing and rail, including EAM and spare-parts programmes.

From manual consolidation to trusted dashboards

For maintenance teams, automated business intelligence removes the manual consolidation that quietly consumes a day a week and slows every decision. We routinely build Power BI environments that standardise KPI definitions and give back the time that used to vanish into spreadsheets.

Strategy without measurement decays within a year. We design the reporting layer alongside the policy so the two reinforce each other.
