The processes were elaborately described including flow charts and a responsibility matrix (RACI). The process documentation is easily accessible through the system and acts as both a manual and reference guide.
QR Codes for Assets
The asset hierarchy was built up in a logical way with descriptive codes that clearly denote the place and function of the assets. The assets were also marked with a QR Code. These codes could be scanned with an app to easily consult information and data.

Yearly, the maintenance department at the R&D location performed a maintenance performance scan to track progress. The scan takes factors into account such as Asset master data, Organization and competences and Maintenance plan and risk control. On a 5-point scale, the location improved its overall score from 1,7 to 4,2 in three years. The R&D facility shares results, innovations, successes and also pitfalls with the company’s production locations.
