When Ford acquired Volvo, it
produced an opportunity to bring
together the organisations’ maintenance
philosophies and rationalise
operations at Volvo’s five sites.

The Volvo team, working with
Mainnovation as a neutral partner,
visited each manufacturing site and
ran Value Driven Maintenance
(VDM) workshops to identify the
issues that needed to be addressed.

Once important competences were
identified, the next step was to
organise and control them in the
right way. For this purpose VDM puts
forward best practices from leading
maintenance philosophies.
