IMRt Masterclass | Enabling Effective Operator Led Maintenance Strategies

Take the judgement out of the operator's hands and de-risk your operator-led maintenance strategy. Verified grease delivery lets any operator service a critical point correctly and gives assurance to management with a historical compliance record.

Operator led maintenance is a critical strategy to prevent unplanned downtime across manufacturing plants, yet the hardest to verify. Many programmes lose momentum within the first 6 months. Task quality drifts with turnover, and Managers have no visibility on the effectiveness of their maintenance strategies.

This session examines the specific challenges of manual lubrication and the practical steps to de-risk an operator led strategy. Using RFID tags and Cloud data, Managers are able to measure greasing activities against target delivery and weekly compliance reports to show whether your critical points are actually being greased.

Real site examples will be used to show planned versus actual lubrication performance and how reliability teams used it to rebuild trust in operator completed work. Attendees will be better equipped to design an effective operator led maintenance strategies while mitigating operational risks.

What you can expect: 

• Understand why operator-led maintenance programs often lose effectiveness over time. 

• Identify common risks associated with manual lubrication practices. 

• Learn how RFID-enabled lubrication monitoring improves task verification. 

• Gain visibility into compliance reporting and maintenance performance measurement. 

• Explore real site examples demonstrating planned versus actual lubrication outcomes. 

• Discover practical strategies to improve reliability while reducing operational risk.

Whether you are responsible for maintenance, reliability, operations, or asset management, this session will provide practical tools and proven approaches to verify operator-led maintenance activities, improve accountability, and ensure critical lubrication tasks are completed as intended. Leave with ideas you can implement immediately to strengthen maintenance compliance and reduce the risk of equipment failure.
