STRAIGHT FORWARD | COST-EFFECTIVE | RAPID ANALYSIS

“EngPro’s diagnostic without doubt helped accelerate our development, providing us with good insight and gently challenging present paradigms and approach; all taking us successfully to the finish line.”   

Matt Prosser, Engineering Director, Chiltern Railways

MEDiCal is EngPro’s calibrated Maintenance Efficiency Diagnostic that intelligently pinpoints development areas to improve your maintenance performance. Improving maintenance performance is a growing need in today’s competitive world, as it allows an organisation to optimise the cost of maintenance, improve its quality whilst retaining high operational performance levels.  MEDiCal is not Six sigma or LEAN and as such comes without the same complexity and is a competent and cost effective ‘fit’ for all organisations regardless of size.

Six sigma originally used in Motorola and, LEAN conceived in Toyota, are competent tools and have proven effective in many large organisations; but, at EngPro, we know from years of experience they can be a bit ‘marmite’.  The cost of the training, the size of business unit and, the sheer variability of maintenance inputs, are all factors that can leave the tools feeling like a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and why over many years we have refined the more straight forward approach, MEDiCal.

Five simple steps

1. Document collection - We collect several documents, electronically; Organisational charts, status, fleet statistics, defect database and others.

2. On-site review - Our experts visit your site(s) to review workflow process and control, middle-management bandwidth, competence.

3. Analysis - Off site we review the evidence and shape this into your individual organisation health map.

4. Action Point Review - Giving you benchmarked analysis of present status, and clearly identifying areas ripe for improvement.

5. Presentation - We provide a short presentation covering, methodology, benchmarks, analysis and findings.

A simple, rapid and cost effective route to a health map of your maintenance organisation (or provider). Enabling focussed and intelligent development in areas likely to return maximum performance gains.

Your action brief delivers

A short bullet point report that gives a clear picture of the health of your maintenance organisation.  How effective are you in turning human resource into billable output hours and what are the key areas on the performance map where you can leverage maximum advantage to improve.

The action brief covers the following main areas:

Benchmarked Headcount ratios - reviewing your direct to indirect ratios and utilisation of productive workforce

Vehicle utilisation ratios - delivered in several data slices we review your utilisation against like for like benchmarks to see if you are optimising your asset use

Productivity benchmarks - giving you an image of how many headcount hours are turned into output, the currency of engineering

Planning capability - reviewing your proactive v reactive organisational focus 

Workflow efficiency  - how effectively are you moving instructions and materials around your facility.  How productive is your workflow

Middle management capability - review of the bandwidth and capacity of the vital middle management layer

Maintenance control - building a clear picture of the control of maintenance

Competence assessment - evaluating your method of competence evaluation and skills development
