We look at how maintenance, production, CMMS data, roles and lifecycle practices work together in daily operations. The purpose is not to grade the maintenance organization or search for faults, but to make bottlenecks, gaps and improvement priorities visible.
You leave with a clear view of the current state, prioritized findings and a practical roadmap for next steps, not a long theory report.
Many maintenance organizations work hard to improve reliability. Yet the results often remain below expectations.
Includes one production line or one small plant.
The scope is agreed after the intro call. If more than one production line or extra on-site days are needed, the extension price is 1,300 € + VAT per additional day / line.
You do not need to define the scope yourself.
We confirm the right scope together during the intro call.
Travel within Finland included. For international projects, travel costs are invoiced at actual cost.
Organization
Roles, routines, communication and practical ways of working.
CMMS & data
System structure, data quality, availability and usability.
Life cycle planning
Asset condition, risks, maintenance logic and bottlenecks.
In the intro call, we go through your current situation, recurring problems and scope. You will quickly see whether the Health Check is the right fit, or whether another scope makes more sense.
No commitment, no generic sales pitch.

The Maintenance Health Check™ gives plant, operations and maintenance leaders a fast, independent current-state view of what is limiting reliability and which improvement areas should be prioritized first.
You have reliability or availability targets, but improvement efforts have not fully closed the gap.
Recurring issues remain, or maintenance and production do not yet share the same view of the biggest constraints.
Your CMMS and maintenance data exist, but you are not fully confident that they support daily decisions as well as they could.
You know there are improvement opportunities, but need an independent baseline and clear priorities before deciding what to do next.
❌ This is not a formal certification or standards audit.
❌ It is not the right first step if you already have a mature maintenance system with clear priorities and stable execution.
❌ If your main expectation is a detailed technical root cause investigation of one specific failure event, this Health Check is too broad as the first step.
❌ If you are looking for a multi month transformation program immediately, we should discuss a different scope.
At the end of the Maintenance Health Check, you will receive:
A fact-based view of where reliability and production performance are being constrained
The most important bottlenecks and gaps affecting daily operations
Prioritized improvement areas based on operational impact, urgency and feasibility
Clear first actions and a practical roadmap for moving forward
Our role is not to decide on the client’s behalf, but to make the factory’s own voice, observations, and development needs visible so that further decisions can be made more easily on the basis of facts.
The Health Check is led by an experienced industrial maintenance professional with hands-on responsibility from real factory environments.
The person leading the Health Check has:
You already have people, processes, systems and improvement work in place. In five days, we create an independent, fact-based view of where reliability is still being constrained and what is worth addressing first.
The Maintenance Health Check is tailored to the client’s current situation.
The review typically covers three areas:
Organization
Maintenance strategy and targets, KPIs, follow-up practices, communication between production and maintenance, roles and responsibilities, resource use, subcontractor use, and practical ways of working.
CMMS & data
System coverage and usability, maintenance data structure and quality, PM content, operator maintenance practices, reporting, workflows, and how well the system supports daily maintenance work.
Life cycle planning
Asset condition and performance, shutdowns and technical disturbances, key risks, maintenance logic, criticality, spare parts and stock thinking, prioritization, targets, and replacement planning.
The exact scope is always agreed together with the client. If, for example, no CMMS is in use, the review can instead assess whether a system is needed and what kind of value it could bring.
The Health Check is usually carried out over 5 working days on site.
Day 1
Kick-off meeting, alignment of scope, and mill walkthrough.
Days 2–4
Review work focused on the agreed modules, typically:
Organization,
CMMS & data,
and Life cycle planning.
This phase may include observations, interviews, review of current practices, and assessment of available maintenance and asset data.
Day 5
Wrap-up session with the client, including a PowerPoint presentation of the findings, observations, and a practical roadmap showing where development should start, while leaving the next decisions fully in the client’s hands.
The exact schedule may vary depending on the client’s scope, site situation, and available data.
No. The Health Check does not commit you to any larger project. The mill or organization always decides how to move forward. If you want, NJCOY can support the next phase, but the purpose of the Maintenance Health Check is first to clarify the situation and the right priorities.
No serious expert should promise guaranteed findings before seeing the situation. What we can promise is a structured external review focused on identifying the most important risks, bottlenecks and improvement priorities within the agreed scope. In most cases, the value comes from making the current situation clearer and helping the team focus on the right next actions.
Before the agreed review date, we ask you to provide a line organization chart covering maintenance, production and any relevant subcontractors, as well as the machine and mill layout. This helps us prepare properly and use the on-site review time more effectively.
No. The Maintenance Health Check is designed for a wide range of industrial environments and mills that want to improve maintenance performance and get a clearer view of their current situation. The exact focus may vary by site, but the core purpose is the same, to identify the most important risks, bottlenecks and development priorities in maintenance.
