Across a global network of plants: inconsistent planning and scheduling practices, limited backlog visibility, unclear prioritization, and uneven work management maturity were holding back reliability. Digital tools existed, but inconsistent maintenance processes kept the organization from capturing their full value. Heidelberg Materials relaunched its global Maintenance Improvement Program to rebuild the fundamentals of planning, scheduling, backlog management, and reliability governance across every site - creating a consistent foundation before scaling advanced digital solutions such as Prometheus GWOS-AI to standardize and sustain these gains worldwide.

• Establishing a global maintenance excellence foundation through a corporate program
• Standardizing planning and scheduling across 5 SAP landscapes, Infor Hexagon, and Maximo
• Engaging plants through leadership, capability building, and change management
• Using Prometheus GWOS-AI to standardize and scale best practices globally
• Converting maintenance data into actionable operational decisions
• Scaling AI only after maintenance fundamentals are stable
