Case Study: Dunlop Aircraft Tyres achieves improved maintenance efficiency with Fiix CMMS

Transforming maintenance with predictive and prescriptive strategies at a leading UK manufacturing facility

Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, a UK manufacturing facility focused on aircraft dispatch reliability, was struggling with reactive maintenance, limited on-site engineering resources, and manual processes built around paper, Excel, and a Microsoft Access database. Before Fiix CMMS, the team lacked proper scheduling, work order planning, and easy access to machine history, making it difficult to improve efficiency and move toward predictive maintenance.

After implementing Fiix CMMS, Dunlop Aircraft Tyres quickly saw improvements in the first few months, including automated daily reporting, better access to maintenance data, and stronger decision-making. Using Fiix’s analytics tools, the team tracked KPIs like MTBF, which increased by 21% in the curing department from Feb. 2023 to July 2024, while also saving significant time, improving data quality, and reducing manual work.
