CAT Extras 5.1. CATERPILLAR Production System (CPS) Hastings Deering has adopted CATERPILLAR Production System (CPS) across the business to become the leading provider of Cat and aligned solutions giving our customers the best service and ensuring value is added to the service received when utilizing our workshop for repairs of your equipment. 5 What is CPS? The Caterpillar Production System (CPS) is a philosophy and improvement methodology that drives a cultural change to focus on the continuous and relentless elimination of waste in all processes. CPS enables improvement in people (safety), quality, velocity and cost to the maximisation of customer value and satisfaction. CPS encompasses three sub-systems essential to continuous improvement: CPS Operating System CPS Cultural System CPS Management System The application of lean and 6 sigma tools and practices to eliminate waste is focused on making change possible and improving the way we work is focused on creating the measurements and management structure to support continuous improvement. CPS identifies 15 guiding principles that define how we approach our work. Based on these guiding principles, CPS provides tools, practices and behaviours that aide in identifying and eliminating the causes of waste. 11
12 UNDERCARRIAGE PRODUCT AND SUPPORT What are the 8 wastes? Waste is any activity that consumes resources but creates no value for the customer. Accordingly, the ultimate goal of CPS is the elimination of eight types of waste.
5.2. CATERPILLAR Contamination Control Hastings Deering Has A Five-Star Contamination Control Rating Interested in enhancing equipment performance, increasing longevity, and decreasing downtime? Strict contamination control practices from Hastings Deering Cat can help you achieve that. The Five- Star Contamination Control rating that we have received is CATERPILLARS s highest designation. When you visit us you will see the difference contamination control makes. We Strive To Be The Best, Just Like You Contamination control is an initiative aimed at providing superior value to our customers. This superior value can be realized through the avoidance of component failures, longer component and product lives and optimised productivity throughout the product s life cycle. How It Works, And Why It s Important Typically, contaminants enter a machine through the fluid systems including hydraulic fluid, fuel, or coolant. Common contaminants include dirt, metals, weld spatter, paint flakes, or rag fibres. However, many contaminants are so small they are virtually undetectable by the human eye. To keep the parts that power your equipment in top condition, we follow strict contamination control regulations for parts storage, handling, and distribution. Over time, contamination leads to decreased productivity, unscheduled machine downtime and even more costly repairs. Save Money, Produce More At Hastings Deering, we take contamination control very seriously employing measures to decrease the amount of foreign materials introduced to a machine through fluids, and performing all maintenance, service, and repairs within Cat Five Star standards for contamination control. Our contamination control practices include: a) Maintaining parts inventories that are protected in a clean environment b) perfecting our oil system cleansing with specialized high-efficiency kidney loop filter tooling c) Filtering all bulk oils prior to use d) Using a specialized hydraulic hose cleaning processes e) implementing dust control procedures in all shop areas These best practices for contamination control provide you with: Enhanced Productivity Did you know that contamination can actually reduce machine performance up to 20% without the operator even noticing? This occurs when particulates build up on metal surfaces and restrict hydraulic flow, eroding system efficiency. Put it into perspective: That 20% reduction is like losing a day of production for the week! Increased Component Longevity When your machine receives proper maintenance and service or repairs are performed within contamination control guidelines, your machine will not only run better, but will last longer. Put it into perspective: A 3-year study found that components treated with contamination control can last up to 10 times longer! Decreased Downtime Contaminants pave the way for problems throughout the drivetrain, leading to unplanned failures, unscheduled downtime and higher repair costs. Put it into perspective: A cleaner and properly maintained machine experiences reduced downtime! 13
