Building on strong past engagements, one of the largest operators in Canada’s growing oil sands industry engaged Trindent to assess the efficiency of operation within its maintenance services group.
How we Made it Happen™
Enforced crane shop cancellation and confirmation process
- Freed up company-owned resources to reduce unnecessary rental crane bookings.
- Reported out on reservations that were not utilized for each maintenance area.
- Promoted active communication between crane shop and users.
- This led to a 59% reduction in rental crane costs.
Improved reporting and management systems:
- Installed area and team dashboards.
- Upgraded daily activity sheet to track barriers.
- Implemented weekly executive level reports to increase operational performance visibility.
Improved contractor short interval management by frontline supervisors
- Reported out on planned vs. unplanned permits to reduce contractor time spent on permit request
- Standardized duration and timing for contractor breaks to avoid unnecessary travel time
- This led to an 18% reduction in contractor FTE.
