Carnival Cruise Lines is a world class organization with
a commitment to quality affordable travel / leisure as
well as to preserving the health of the natural marine
environment. To help them manage the vast amount of
environmental data across their fleet
Lean Productivity Solutions was engaged to assist in the rapid development of an
information repository and environmental decision
support tool capable of collecting and filing
environmental events, audits, and corrective actions as
well as monitoring and tracking the completion of
corrective actions.
Lean Productivity Solutions’ agility and know-how matched their need for expediency and
expert strategy. The Carnival Environmental team now
have increased visibility and capability to monitor and
track environmental events and greatly increased ability
to standardize and disseminate corporate environmental
policy and comply with regulatory mandates.When the
Carnival Technical Operations team required a fleet wide
application for managing federally regulated routine
maintenance on their safety and firefighting appliances
Lean
Productivity Solutions
was again retained to develop this decision support
tool. Their challenge was to develop a contingency
application intermediate to a large web based enterprise
wide system two to three years away from completion.
They had the constraints of time and a tight
departmental budget supplemented partially by a
corporate IT budget. Even though these were real
impediments to a full-scale deployment of the
maintenance application
Lean Productivity Solutions helped them to
identify those tasks and policies that were mission
critical and automated them. Our solution enabled these
tasks to be performed by end users _
·
Logging
of regulatory maintenance requirements for specific
families or groups of firefighting and lifesaving
appliances and devices.
·
Capability to assign a group / family to components or
devices at the serial number level.
·
Creation of a schedule of maintenance tasks at the
serial number level based on the task requirements
specified for its group / family.
·
Capability to perform forward scheduling on work-orders
according to the next due date per specific maintenance
task.
·
Creation of work-orders for repair work or other
unplanned maintenance activity.
·
Work-order control and management between system and
physical execution of maintenance work.
·
Ability
to mark individual maintenance tasks as complete.
·
Maintenance records are automatically written to a
printable log by book type so that hard copies of each
logbook may be obtained on demand.
·
Specific work-orders may be researched, viewed, and
printed by department, type of maintenance (Inspection,
test, or maintenance) or by group / family.
·
Specific print jobs on log books may be ordered by
department, appliance serial number, or appliance group
/ family, with date specification.
