Episode 1 The Economics of Manufacturing Machinery Maintenance with Douglas Thomas of NIST The RAM Review Podcast
-
- Business
With guest co-host Tom Moriarty, PE, CMRP, of Alidade MER, Inc. and Chair SMRP Government Relations. Detailed contents and timeline below.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology under the US Department of Commerce pursued an economic study on the impact of maintenance on manufacturing. This included tying maintenance practices to safety, energy, productivity, profitability and other aspects of the business as a whole. The purpose has been to strengthen the USAs manufacturing base through the promotion of maintenance techniques. In 2019, SMRP partnered with NIST to assist in the next stage of the project which involved a survey of corporations that focused on the costs and benefits of maintenance applications. In the end, the study, survey and resources have been developed to support the communication between the maintenance organization and the C-suite as well as tying maintenance to other key aspects of the company. The interview is with Douglas Thomas the lead economist for the project at NIST.
