Case study — Mobile equipment

Fournier & Fils

Maintenance sheets created and fleet maintenance strategies structured.

Mandate duration: 3 months
Scope: Heavy equipment fleet and mobile shops
Pillar engaged: Maintenance strategies & master data

Context

42 maintenance sheets created in 3 months

A fleet spread across multiple sites, maintained by mobile shops, under strong seasonal pressure: every in-season downtime costs full production days. Maintenance relied on the mechanics' memory, with no written sheet for any equipment.

The problem

What we observed on the floor before the intervention.

No documented maintenance sheets: tasks, frequencies and parts lived in the mechanics' heads.
Mostly reactive maintenance, triggered by the operator at breakdown.
Critical parts missing from the store when needed, frequent emergency purchases.
Planning impossible without reliable work duration estimates.
Very short delivery window: everything had to be ready before peak season.

Our solution

The approach deployed with the crews, from diagnosis to autonomy.

01Fleet inventoried and coded by equipment family to share strategies across units.
0242 maintenance sheets written in 3 months: tasks, frequencies, standard times, parts and safety instructions.
03Field validation of every sheet with the mechanics and operators involved.
04Programs aligned with low-season windows to free up peak season.
05ABC segmentation of spare parts and min/max levels on critical items.
06Handover to internal owners for continuous updating of the sheets.
