MILWAUKEE WI, USA,

Plants plan downtime carefully. A repaint should fit into the same windows as other maintenance work.

Key Takeaways

  • Find the maintenance window first.
  • Plan areas in order.
  • Control dust and overspray.
  • Hand each area back clean.

Find the window

Shutdown weeks and weekend stops set the timeline. List which areas are available when, and what equipment cannot be covered or moved.

  • Shutdown weeks and weekend stops
  • Which areas are available when
  • What equipment cannot be covered

Handle the site

Site rules matter. Contractor orientation, lockout procedures and cleanliness standards should be in the schedule.

  • Contractor safety orientation
  • Dust and overspray control
  • Cleanliness standards

Hand areas back

Hand areas back one at a time. Clean, walk and sign off each before starting the next.

  • Paint and clean one area at a time
  • Walk it with plant staff
  • Record anything left

Maintenance windows are where manufacturing painting happens. Plan the order of areas to match the windows, and keep crews focused on one area at a time.

Cleanliness standards may also apply. Dust and overspray need to be controlled in areas where product or process is sensitive.
