Through detailed and careful analysis of past spreader performance issues, and the development of tailored preventive service plans targeting prior \u201cweak links\u201d in performance, the terminal was able to lift MMBF performance from the 1,500 level to nearly 6,000 MMBF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStated simply, this tool helps management better focus maintenance department resources on areas of service that are most strategic,\u201d says Bromma V.P. of Marketing and Product Business Development Lars Meurling. \u201cThrough a better focus of preventive maintenance, management has a better chance of keeping their spreader fleets up and productive in the green zone.\u201d The new Bromma Roadmap\u2122 application has two basic features.<\/p>\n<p>First, Bromma Roadmap\u2122 helps management understand where they are based on various spreader key performance indicators (KPI). Spreader KPIs provide a framework for tracking fleet improvement. By looking backwards at the spreader\u2019s function history, Bromma Roadmap\u2122 helps management identify the \u201cA\u201d \u2013 where the spreader fleet is. Bromma Roadmap\u2122 identifies the \u201c10 most frequent fault areas\u201d that have in the past affected the fleet\u2019s performance. By looking back, Bromma hopes to help managers more effectively look forward. The second part of the new Bromma Roadmap\u2122 application is the \u201cforward\u201d part &#8212; Roadmap\u2122 provides guidance to port managers in how to restructure spreader maintenance in a way that will address prior spreader fault areas. By \u2018drawing a map\u2019 that focuses on weak links, terminals can strengthen the chain of spreader fleet performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll terminals want to stay up and stay productive,\u201d notes Bromma Vice-President and Commercial Director Vikram Raman. \u201cFocus is part of the way to get there. Routine spreader service addresses many areas, but Roadmap\u2122 highlights forward planning on risk areas that merit special attention. By using the knowledge of past \u2018weak link\u2019 areas to shape future preventive service programmes, terminals have a better chance of strengthening the \u2018chain\u2019 of spreader performance and staying in \u2018the green zone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stockholm-based Bromma has introduced a new suite of terminal productivity tools designed to keep spreader operations in a \u201cgreen zone\u201d of higher performance.
