The most important maintenance strategy we adopted to improve reliability.”Maintenance & Engineering Manager in one of the world’s largest manufacturing facilities.
Typical results are listed below and possible with strong management commitment and a rigorous implementation plan we call “FasTrack to Reliability™️”
case history
A mineral operation managing 400 blowers across 49 plants worldwide. These critical assets range from 350 – 400 HP, rotating at 3600 RPM, achieving an average life span of only two years. Each of these assets requires a $50,000 investment to rebuild.
After rapid implementation of precision maintenance in their U.S. central rebuild shop, including implementation of precision transportation & install specifications – the life of each asset is doubled.

case history
A paper machine was operating at a 75-80% uptime and was in danger of being shut down due to lack of profitability.
In two short years, after an aggressive & ongoing precision maintenance effort, they are now operating at an incredible 94-96% uptime, ending its chance of being shut down. Over the next four years, the mill has achieved record performance in production.
The plant personnel is extremely happy, as well as corporate.

case history
A large food board producer chose Hendrix to implement their aggressive hands-on precision maintenance program. The plants’ normal average production was 140,000 tons per years. After the first year, improved reliability allowed them to produce an extra 15,000 tons (11%) and in the second full year, an additional of 30,000 tons or 22%.
