Strategic services to drive down costs through precise planning

With our cross-industry perspective we help many organisations achieve maintenance efficiency – where service delivery and costs and quality and harmoniously managed. All have high capability planning teams working strategically with effective production – we help you build that capability in performance.

Assured development & support for your maintenance professionals

Our pathway provides managers in engineering a structured method to ease into management and then accelerate their capabilities to deliver more for their organisations; and grow personal potential. We take managers from first promoted novices, through to more advanced techniques – in our simple ‘pick n mix’ training suite.

The Control of Maintenance

EngPro have considerable experience working with rail, aviation, buses and automotive maintenance organisations. We work specifically in the field of maintenance efficiency and planning.

Four Easy Secrets To Build The Right Culture

Planes, trains and automobiles…all need maintenance, but is it a necessary evil? Sadly, we engineers mystify maintenance and exclude the ‘un-blessed’ with long words, three-letter abbreviations and complex technical speak.

The Currency of Maintenance

We can measure how effectively we are performing from the outputs we seek. Most transport industries require a number of vehicles per day to meet the service requirements, usually termed availability.

Cut the Right Costs – The Maintenance of Rolling Stock

In any transport business, maintenance takes a big slice of the cost cake and continually needs to get leaner. Depot managers will be hard pushed to explain where such cuts can be made without impact on service.

Is Your Maintenance Plan King?

One of the biggest areas we see where improvement in rail service and cost reduction could be provided is that of a more stable and secure maintenance plan. Quite a bold statement that either has you putting the paper down or intrigued.

Maintenance Efficiency – Making Life Simple

The competitive nature of your commercial landscape normally drives how much management focus is placed on cost control. High competition, sees high cost focus, lowered competition sees reducing cost focus.

Making Remote Train Monitoring Work For You

Remote train monitoring (RTM), sometimes called remote health monitoring, engine health monitoring or remote condition monitoring; take sensor feeds off your asset and provide an analyst with some form of trace or data files through connected software.

On The Edge – The Importance of the Review

I’ve just got back from skiing holiday in La Plange, France. I have to confess as the years have gone on the lure of the challenging ‘black’ appeals less than the lure of a nice relaxing coffee after a few descent ‘blues’, and consequently my skiing has become a bit lazy.

Planning for the Future

Delivering the future will require a stable, reliable and consistent fleet of vehicles that are not only safe, but also maintained to meet customer expectations.

Pit-stop Maintenance

Imagine a Formula 1 car, racing into the pits, only for the tyres not to be ready, or the wrong tyres in place, or a person missing; it would doubtless be disastrous in such a tight, margin-driven sport.

The Importance of Reviewing the Data

Saturday morning, I was sat in bed with a cup of tea, my little weekend luxury, flicking through my phone. Checking emails and messages then, as most of us probably do, drifting into social media space.

The Williams-Shapps Plan For Rail – An Impact Assessment

Those who work around rail have for many years realised a change to the franchising model was required and the recent announcement certainly seems to be well received across various industry platforms and it’s most definitely a model we can work from.
