BECAUSE DETAIL MATTERS


INCREASE AVAILABILITY BY CUTTING MAINTENANCE TIME BY UP TO 50%

BOOSTING OPERATING HOURS, REDUCING RISK PROFILE AND INCREASING QUALITY WITH
DIGITAL STANDARDISED WORK

We reduce Maintenance task durations by an average of 50%, delivering more
operating hours, improving safety and driving quality by implementing digital
standardised work. Vexillum’s proprietary Work Design™ Methodology and
supporting digital tools work remove waste and optimise value added activities
in your maintenance activities


WORK DESIGN™

Our desktop software, Work Design™, improve Safety, Quality & Reliability
Performance and empowers the frontline.

BUILD YOUR IMPROVED
PROCESS LIBRARY


WORKING WITH YOU

Our team works with your Maintenance department to embed the principles of the
Work Design™ methodology including identifying and eliminating waste, sequencing
and integrating work, and holistic process improvements.

EMBED AN
IMPROVEMENT CULTURE


WORK D™

Our mobile application puts the improved process in the hands of the frontline
workers. Ensuring sequence, knowledge and safety requirements are available and
durations and feedback are captured.

EMPOWER THE FRONTLINE


INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY BY REDUCING VARIABILITY IN TASKS. ACHIEVES RAPID,
LASTING PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT USING WORK DESIGN™

WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


WORK DESIGN™ ELIMINATES WASTE, REDUCES VARIATION, AND ENHANCES QUALITY.

WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


INCREASED OPERATING HOURS

Reduced average duration of recurring maintenance activities returns operating
hours to production via increased availability.



WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


REDUCED BACKLOG

Reduced average duration and variation in duration frees up crews to reduce
backlog, improving equipment reliability and increasing Mean-Time-To-Failure.



WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


IMPROVED SAFETY

Inclusion of critical risks & critical control verifications, required PPE,
instructional pictures and videos for each activity, reduces risk of operational
errors, improving safety.



WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


CONTROLLED COSTS

Feed-back captured during the Work Design™ process helps Supply Chain update
Part Lists to reduce returns and increase number of kits ready when Work Orders
are planned and scheduled.



WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


ENABLED DIVERSITY

Processes improved with Work Design™ include upgraded tooling and other
solutions that allow a more diverse workforce to perform tasks. Video and photo
images support written instructions support additional learning styles,
improving understanding.



WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


OPTIMISED LABOUR

As Backlog is reduced and zero-based labour calculations are improved, panel
make-up and size, along with contracted 3rd party labour, are optimised to meet
demand.



WORK DESIGN™ BENEFITS


STRUCTURED FEEDBACK

Time Durations captured in the WorkD™ app along with delay and variation
information are automated into feedback loops with planning, scheduling,
maintenance and reliability engineering.




WORK DESIGN™ PROCESS


THE WORK DESIGN™ METHODOLOGY SYSTEMATICALLY ENHANCES JOB PERFORMANCE BY
IMPROVING HOW TASKS ARE EXECUTED.


WORK DESIGN™

Establishing a Productivity Team and implementing the process and tools.


WORK DESIGN™ EXPANSION

Client Productivity Team expands rolls out to additional Tasks and services


PRODUCTION SYSTEM

With a solid foundation of well-designed work, the Vexillum team helps building
out Production and Operating System tools that further accelerate productivity
improvements.


OUR BOTTOM-UP APPROACH LEVERAGES DETAILED INSIGHTS FROM THE FRONTLINE TO DRIVE
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

EXECUTE. KEY CAUSES OF DELAYS ARE ADDRESSED INCLUDING INTERACTIONS AMONG
DEPARTMENTS.

CASE STUDIES


MOBILE MAINTENANCE OF CAT793F ROUTINE SERVICING REDUCED TOTAL HOURS BY OVER 57%

Overview
Members of the Vexillum team worked with a major miner in Australia to increase
the availability of their 50-truck Caterpillar 793F haul truck fleet by reducing
both the duration of preventative maintenance services and the total labour
hours consumed in each service.

Fact
This project delivered over 8000 Truck Hours back to production, generating a
marginal value of $70M in additional ore moved, and reduced maintenance labour
spend by over $1M annually.

Solution
The team applied production system thinking and lean tools to re-design how each
of the eight services (250-hour to 2000-hour) were performed.

Location: Western Australia Industry: Mining


FIXED PLANT CRUSHER SIZER SHUTDOWN

Overview
Vexillum team members were challenged to help a major miner reduce the duration
of Fixed Plant Crusher Sizer Shutdowns, at both the 14 and 28 week shut
intervals for a total of four annual shuts.

Fact
The team delivered over 220 additional crusher hours to operations after
deploying improvement methodology. Assuming the crusher was the constraint to
production, these hours represent an increase in marginal income of over $100M.
During this process over $800k in contractor labour spend savings were
identified.

Solution
Tooling and part kits were optimised and repositioned around the job site to
reduce number of times a maintainer needed to come off tools to go looking for
items.

Industry: Mining


RAIL ORE CAR FLEET ENGINEERING MODIFICATION

Overview
A mining company had 5000 rail cars that needed to be modified to carry more
ore. The challenge was to complete these 5000 modifications as quickly and
safely as possible, without using excessive additional labour.

Fact
Via the implementation of the improvement toolkit the project was completed 18
months earlier than originally planned. A savings of $27M in labour costs was
realised. The project duration reduction translates to 45-million tonnes being
moved at an estimated market value of over $3.5B.

Solution
Prior to engaging with Vexillum resources, the plan was to modify 7 railcars,
across a 2-shift day. When Work Design™ was deployed, the process was improved
by both eliminating waste and optimizing how the value-added steps in the
process were performed, the number of railcars per 24-hours increased to 50.

Location: Western Australia Industry: Rail


REDUCING CAT 793F 500HR SERVICE DURATION BY 41%

Overview
A major iron ore mine invited Vexillum to complete a proof-of-concept trial of
the Work Design™ methodology, including deploying both the Work Design™
software, and the WorkD app to be used on the shop floor. Specifically the goal
was to reduce the duration of the Cat 793F service duration by 20% in less than
90 days. This included deploying the improved process across all 4 crews.

Fact
The integrated Vexillum and client productivity team achieved a 41% reduction in
duration, including 30% of trials delivered in approximately half the baseline
duration. There were zero safety incidents during any of the services where the
improved process was deployed.

Solution
Both Work Design™ & WorkD were deployed. The improved process being drafted in
Work Design™ upon completion of the Value/Waste analysis and a collaborative
review of requirements across engineering, safety and maintenance. Improvements
included establishing a standard bay layout prior to start of service, working
with warehousing to open 30 minutes earlier to ensure parts were available, and
working with operations to ensure trucks are delivered on-time and queueing for
washing was reduced.
