       Testimonials for Roger Lee’s Work

      “Prior to the intervention, we were not able to even get done today what needed doing. How could we possibly have time to improve? We were very skeptical of the changes they wanted to make. Now looking back after 4 years, and seeing the real results we’ve achieved, we are all believers.”

      — Joe Bologna, Kuantan Site Manager, Malaysia Plant implementation

      “These maintenance processes have had an unbelievably positive impact on our maintenance culture, on my guys’ life, and the way we now view our jobs. You opened our eyes, helped us, and supported us all alone the way as we grew and changed. The site has a new awareness for the value maintenance adds. We will never let it go back to the old ways. Thanks.”

      —Shannon Abney, Maintenance and Engineering Manager, Eastman McWhorter Facility, Columbus, Ga.

      “The principles of planning and scheduling maintenance work and enhancing cooperation between Operations and Maintenance are now fundamental to managing our efforts effectively. The maintenance program established these fundamentals on a site wide basis. Although our site is not entirely there yet, we feel we have the building blocks for sustained improvements not only in maintenance, but in overall site profitability.”

      —J. T. Pundt, Operations Support Manager, Eastman Lawter Facility, Pleasant Prairie, Il.

      “I have seen this approach work first-hand at a large domestic site, two small Asia Pacific sites, and now my small US site. The starting points were all very different in terms of work culture, experience level, and organizational structure. The work processes and tools worked in all three scenarios and made real money. You can just do more with less if you’re preventing the “fires” instead of fighting them. We have saved maintenance expenses and production losses. Preventative maintenance practices are defined to the point where the discretionary time of production operators becomes another resource. The “business objectives meet the real world” approach taps into the discretionary efforts of production and maintenance for a true win-win solution.”

      —Steve Statham, Site Manager, ABCO Facility, Roebuck, SC

      “The maintenance processes have improved our operational foundation and are making significant differences in our ability to continually reduce costs and improve quality and services to our customers. The best practices implemented by networking with all sites has enhanced our teamwork between maintenance and operations as well. I am really impressed with the execution and results.”

      —Mark Bogle, Director NA Resins Manufacturing, Eastman Chemical Company

      “These maintenance processes have had a positive impact on the teamwork, employee buy-in, and work culture at all our sites. Maintenance is now truly a site issue with contributions being made to the bottom line to lower costs (fixed and EFO) and to improve quality. Maintenance is a contributor to Eastman’s ROI.”

      —Marc Ramsdale, Vice President Olefins Stream, Eastman Chemical Company

      “The track record of the Singapore plant speaks for itself. The team beats the 2.5% ARV target set by the company without cutting corners in safety and equipment reliability. Their achievement is possible because of the management processes and tools that have been put in place and executed religiously to ensure proactive and preventive maintenance rather than reactive. This program enhances the plant reliability and safety while keeping the cost under control. I have a lot of confidence in this system and am implementing it in the Qilu Eastman joint venture plant in China.”

      —J. W. Kew, Qilu Eastman Specialty Chemicals Limited, Plant Manager

      “Prior to the arrival of these maintenance processes in Singapore, we thought we were on the right path. These concepts were new to the Singapore industry. We were very skeptical of the changes they wanted to make. Now, looking back and seeing the success we’ve achieved, we are sold on these processes. The results confirm that we moved in the right direction.”

      —LRS Mani, ECSPL General Manager

      “From my experience and knowledge, I would state that these maintenance processes strongly bridge the gaps for mechanical integrity requirements and provide the platform used with other site and company tools to ensure total PSM “MI” compliance. The maintenance processes have had a very positive impact on safety.”

      —Jeff W. Johnston, Former Site Manager for Lawter facility

      “The big success resulted from the reorganization with new roles to enhance communication. Operations now believes that they need maintenance to succeed or we all fail. We now fully utilize our resources before going outside for help.”

      —Pete Huwe, Maintenance Manager, Eastman Hercules Facility, Jefferson, PA

      “Lots of good metrics here, and all of them headed in the right direction. Going from less than 40% planned work to 80% and at the same time FTE going from 55 to 35 is great work! Thanks for the progress and for helping me understand your strategy.”

      —Bob Moody, Director NA Adhesive and Polymers Manufacturing, Eastman Chemical to the Maintenance Manager at Jefferson, PA

      “We began implementing the maintenance program 2.5 years ago. We were very reactionary with running equipment to failure as the most common mode of operation. Now we have seen improved equipment reliability and annual M&R costs have decreased 25%. The mechanics were initially skeptical of planned maintenance but they now appreciate the benefits first hand.”

      —Bret Beach, P. E., Engineering and Maintenance, Manager, Eastman McWhorter Facility, Lynwood, CA

      “Great new record for “Days without a Maintenance Call-in!” This is real dollar savings due to reduced overtime and can only happen when the maintenance and operations personnel are aligned with respect to processes and priorities. I appreciate the good teamwork and communications between these groups that allowed this to happen.”

      —T. L. Ratcliff, Director of Resins Manufacturing Eastman Chemical Company (Former McWhorter and ABCO plants)
