Ginsters selected Mainsaver CMMS from Spidex.
The installation phase introduced Mainsaver, SpidexWM, SpidexBI and a bespoke software interface to the group ERP/Finance software System21. The interface passed details of purchase requisitions from Maintenance directly into the company’s main accounting system.
The CMMS project was designed to support a number of key objectives. Central to these was better ability to demonstrate due diligence in audits. When auditors arrive on site, they expect to be able to see the maintenance history of any item of plant in the factory, so the creation of a comprehensive asset database and associated PM schedules was the first stage.
Another key objective was ensuring that the optimum PM activity was being carried out. Modern food manufacturing facilities often run 24 hours a day and Ginsters is no exception. For the maintenance team, this leaves precious few windows of opportunity to carry out PMs, so the implementation was geared towards ensuring that at such times, the right work was being carried out on the right equipment.
