Taking Control with On Key EAM
In an ever-changing retail landscape, Pick n Pay recognises the need to prioritise customer satisfaction and operational excellence amidst numerous challenges. They proactively addressed their facility and asset management needs by partnering with Pragma and implementing the On Key EAM system. This decision allows them to streamline and automate processes, freeing up valuable time for their internal teams to tackle unexpected obstacles efficiently.
A Dashboard for Success
To monitor and optimise their maintenance practices, Pick n Pay designed a first-of-its-kind dashboard that provided real-time insights into planned preventive maintenance versus reactive work. The dashboard enables them to make informed decisions based on actual cost data down to individual asset and work order levels. By leveraging the dashboard insights, Pick n Pay achieved substantial cost savings of R31 million over the past year, with an additional potential savings opportunity of R28 million.
Optimising Maintenance Strategies
With their customised dashboard, Pick n Pay gained granular visibility into maintenance activities, enabling them to identify the optimal maintenance mix for each asset type. By focusing on preventive maintenance, they achieved a remarkable 45% reduction in overall breakdowns. Moreover, their efforts resulted in a 47% improvement in Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) across all work orders, demonstrating their commitment to providing efficient and uninterrupted customer service.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Pick n Pay’s investment in the On Key EAM system allowed them to make data-driven decisions confidently. The system’s robust validation and quality assurance processes ensured the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained. Internal Quality Assurance teams regularly audited the workflow processes to maintain the highest standards of credibility and accuracy, driving continuous improvements in the system and enhancing the overall asset management strategy.
