The authors will present a self contained computerized program to reduce the cost of typical in plant maintenance and improve the first time quality of manufacturing. This program will be designed for the major manufacturer and the smaller sub-contractor to reduce waste and improve the overall cost reduction of manufacturing. This Presentation will present a hands on demonstration for the use of the Palm Held Computers and Clipboards for Preventative Maintenance.As we look into first run capability, we will focus on such aspects as: waste stream management, job descriptions, work orders and trend analysis. Goal setting must be a part of the Manufacturer/Contractor relationship and thus be quantifiable and realistic. Preventative Maintenance is often the most ignored aspect of Manufacturing in order to get the production numbers off the shipping dock. This Program will lead to a more harmonious relationship of shipping parts and producing them in a less costly Environment. An OEM paint facility will be used as the demonstration point.Emphasis throughout this paper will be on the Team Approach to maximize the Documentation for the ISO series process. A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) model will be presented to affect maximum utilization of computerized data banks. Pitfalls of starting a CMMS Program will be discussed in association with comments on the customized data bank.This paper reviews the basics of Preventative Maintenance with a CMMS Program and allows us the capability of tracking and solving problems to enhance our first run capability produced by EPAC Software Technologies of Warwick, Rode Island. The Manufacturing model will be an OEM Paint Facility. New Equipment and technology will be demonstrated during the Presentation.
