A joint project, involving CCI-Growthcon & PSA as a consortium, has been underway for over 2 years. It involves the introduction of Business Centred Maintenance (BCM) into all terminals at SAPO.

The project has demonstrated some significant improvements in certain terminals in terms of plant availability and maintenance cost.

SAPO is looking at extending this project with concentrated consulting support being provided to certain selected terminals. Chief Operating Officer Graham Braby has indicated that BCM needs to become part of the core business of SAPO and that the focus going forward will be on metrics and on achieving key BCM targets.
