Let’s talk about two different scenarios:
Your business is humming along, employees are busy and a huge order has just come in from a very important customer. With the economy what it is, you are thankful for this new order and infusion of cash. This order is going to make a huge impact on your business.
And in the middle of it, a vital piece of equipment fails.
Now you are faced with being unable to deliver for your client, a potentially enormous repair bills, employees standing idle, and no idea what is wrong with your equipment. Will it need to be repaired? Replaced?
Scenario two: You have a Process Monitoring Program in place that regularly inspects and monitors the condition of your equipment. A few weeks ago, this regularly scheduled program detected the beginnings of a minor issue with your equipment. A quick visit by a repairperson averts what could have been a major failure. Spending a few dollars on preventative maintenance has saved you many thousands in mechanical equipment failure.
Hmmm…as a business owner or manager, which scenario works better for you?
That's what I thought. Predictive maintenance reflects a sound management philosophy–it means you are managing the maintenance process rather than maintenance emergencies controlling your operation.
A predictive maintenance strategy makes it possible to set your own repair schedules. Manufacturing and production facilities can't afford slowdowns because of poor planning and unexpected equipment failures. Is it time to schedule your annual infrared equipment inspection?
