Although maintenance is often not considered a top priority, surveys conducted in China by Siveco in association with the European Chamber of Commerce have shown that considerable ROI can be obtained from improving maintenance, an area almost always sub-optimized. Siveco China boasts an unparalleled experience bringing quick productivity improvement by implementing COSWIN 7i, leading to the resolution of undetected design problems, standardization of spare parts procurement, reduction of downtime, lowering of energy bills etc. while providing the maintenance team with a structured approach to implement long-term improvement in the company. We often implement the TPM philosophy as part of our projects, sometimes without our customers knowing they are in fact practicing TPM.

Key COSWIN 7i functionality for manufacturers include:

1. Initial audit to assess possible ROI and identify key areas
2. Quick implementation of the system, usually less than two months all included
3. Graphical navigation based on plant layout and pictures
4. Strong maintenance support from our team of expert, including specific technical skills (robots, automated production lines, etc.) and methodologies (TPM, RCM, etc.)
5. Standard ready-to-use KPIs and reports based on European standards
6. Easy plug-in interfaces with ERP systems (stock, purchase, accounting)
