PepsicoThis policy is unique for every plant, because the dominant value driver and core competences can differ by plant

The Task
The European PepsiCo organization wanted to bring its plants up to world-class level. It wanted to accomplish this by undertaking a number of initiatives, including the further professionalization of the Maintenance & Asset Management function within its plants.

The Approach
In cooperation with PepsiCo, Mainnovation developed a European improvement program called PEMM (PepsiCo Europe Maintenance Methodology). PEMM, which is fully based on the VDM^XL methodology, is used to annually audit and benchmark each plant. The VDM^XL KPIs are used for this purpose. In addition to the KPI measurement, PEMM also includes a maturity analysis that identifies the level of professionalism achieved for each competence on the basis of standardized checklists.

Mainnovation’s Added Value
Using the results of the benchmark study and the maturity analysis a Maintenance & Asset Management policy is developed each year that focuses on maximum value creation. This policy is unique for every plant, because the dominant value driver and core competences can differ by plant. This is in fact the major strength of the PEMM program. It makes use of a standardized methodology (VDM^XL), but the outcome is always plant-specific.
