NJCOY Maintenance Health Check™ Poor maintenance is a profitability problem. Find out where your plant is losing money in 5 days.

NJCOY maintenance specialist performing a health check on industrial machinery on a production floor

The Maintenance Health Check™ is a focused 5-day on-site review for mill and operations managers who need to know why maintenance keeps costing more than it should  and where to start fixing it.

We look at how maintenance actually works today, where production time and margin are being lost, and which changes would have the biggest impact on your bottom line. You leave with a clear picture of the current state, the most critical bottlenecks, and a prioritized roadmap not a long consultant report.

The goal is not to leave you with a long report. The goal is to give your team a clear starting point and sharper priorities.

 

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • The same stops keep coming back
  • PM exists, but no one can clearly say what it prevents
  • Production and maintenance keep fighting the same fires from different angles
  • CMMS data exists, but decisions still rely too much on guesswork
  • Priorities change every week, but uptime does not improve
  • You know improvement is needed, but not where to start first

 

Many maintenance organizations work hard to improve reliability. Yet the results often remain below expectations.

Price 6900€ + VAT

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.

What we review during the 5 days

Organization
Roles, routines, communication and practical ways of working.

CMMS & data
System structure, data quality, availability and usability.

See if this is the right first step for your mill

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.

Who this is for

Unplanned downtime is eating into your production targets — and the same stops keep coming back.

You have uptime or availability targets, but continuous improvement efforts haven’t closed the gap. Maintenance and production are not aligned on where the real problems are. Your CMMS exists, but you’re not confident the data actually drives better decisions.

You know something needs to change, but you don’t have an independent baseline to work from or a clear view of what fixing it would actually be worth.

The Maintenance Health Check™ gives plant managers and operations directors exactly that: a fast, independent assessment of where maintenance is costing you profitability, and what to prioritize first.

Who this is not for

❌ 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.

What you get at the end of the 5 days

At the end of the Maintenance Health Check, you will receive:

  • How much production time and margin your current maintenance situation is costing you
  • Which bottlenecks have the biggest impact on your output and availability targets
  • Where the highest-value fixes are, ranked by business impact, not technical complexity
  • What one concrete action your team should take first

 

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.

Who delivers the Maintenance Health Check

The Health Check is led by someone who has carried maintenance responsibility in real factory environments, not by a generic consultant.

The person leading the Health Check has:

  • 25+ years of experience in industrial environments
  • hands-on experience in maintenance management across multiple plants
  • direct responsibility for reliability, budgeting, and development work
  • experience in leading maintenance improvement projects in factory environments
  • a practical understanding of what works in maintenance, and what only creates more work

Frequently asked Questions

What is included in the Maintenance Health Check?

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.
