Reliability
The Team at Dean Systems has experience with running world-class reliability programs and we have the knowledge and experience to attack the toughest reliability problems from all angles, increasing your OEE, ROI, uptime, efficiency and net return for your shareholders. From Enterprise Network Architecture & Software to MRO optimization, Maintenance and Operations SOP’s, as well as, CMMS & ERP optimization and integration. We can design and implement a wholistic solution to your downtime and reliability woes.
Hardware & Software Audits
The first step to running a world-class manufacturing facility is knowing what hardware and software is being used on the plant floor and in the storeroom. Sounds simple, but most manufacturers do not have accurate Bills Of Material (BOM’s). Our Dean Systems team has a proven track record of gathering all of your hardware and software data and processing that information down into a simple framework for capturing cost savings within one year that are over double the cost of the service. We’ve helped customers save millions of dollars in reduced downtime based off of a simple hardware audit that didn’t cost a tenth of what they saved. We can also determine if you have software subscriptions you are paying for year after year while not using them and eliminate that expense from your budget!
Storeroom Optimization
We have surveyed the top 20 most efficient, reliable, world-class manufacturing operations in the world and have developed an evaluation that can show where to focus efforts in storeroom optimization so that you get the most bang for your buck, potentially saving you millions of dollars. Our storeroom team has served 3 different Fortune 100 companies in storeroom and reliability services and saved them more than $25 million in documented, hard cost-savings. We’ve even brought one entertainment customer up to 99.5% scheduled uptime while efficiently managing nearly $100 million in MRO inventory! We can bring world-class solutions and best practices to manufacturers of any size and budget that will more than pay for themselves within a year!
CMMS & ERP Optimization & Integration
Once your storeroom is on its way to world-class, we can take data from your onsite hardware and software audits and optimize your CMMS system with corrected BOM data and use that information to set the most efficient reorder points that will put an end to stock outs while minimizing inventory carrying costs. We can then tie that data in with your ERP solution to make sure you don’t run out of critical spares or materials in the middle of a crucial production run.
Upgrade Service Plans
Our hardware and software audits often reveal large amounts of obsolescence, so much in fact that a healthy capex budget still won’t cover upgrades and modernization. At Dean Systems we understand this situation can be daunting to say the least. We have been through many such situations and have seen the need for multi-year plans to address modernization issues at many of our customers and can put together custom multi-year plans up to 5 years in length that can be payed out of operations or capex funds for a predictable monthly or annual charge. With this we provide clearly outlined project milestones and deadlines annually or quarterly depending on customer and budgetary needs as well as Scope of Work for all projects
