For maintenance and reliability managers, quantifying the savings you bring through your different initiatives is critical for prioritizing efforts. Join us in this recorded webinar as our host, Katherine Sanchez, walks you through when and how to use a business case to demonstrate the value maintenance and reliability departments bring to their organization.

What you'll learn

Why should you care

It is important to show not just what you do, but the value you bring to the company. Without knowing the quantifiable value of a project, it's impossible to know if your efforts are being prioritized correctly.

  1. To prioritize projects and know where to focus your efforts
  2. To get management buy-in and funding
  3. To quantify your value and the value you bring to the company

When and how to use

Business cases are all about transparency and providing evidence for your proposal – be it project-based or personnel-based. If senior management is looking towards headcount reductions, show the impact that will have on equipment availability or overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Examples

In part 3, we'll give two examples: one project-based and one personnel-based. The project-based example will walk you through how to quantify deploying an equipment upgrade. In the second example, we'll look at using a business case to justify head count when facing a headcount reduction.
