When Forbo Flooring in Ripley
introduced an Agility CMMS from
SoftSols Group it reduced its plant
breakdowns from 90 per month to
fewer than 20, increasing plant
availability from 89 to 97%.
Steve Green, engineering manager at Forbo says: "Before implementation our team would complete about 120 maintenance tasks a month. As soon as the system went live there was an enormous jump and the average over the last year is 383 maintenance tasks a month. Another KPI for me is reactive vs proactive tasks and we have swung from 70% reactive to more like 70% proactive."
