PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Does my equipment need preventive maintenance?

By definition, preventive maintenance (PM) is a proactive strategic service program designed to maximize equipment performance over its entire life cycle, which ultimately contributes to a company’s bottom line. PM accomplishes this by ensuring equipment compliance and proactively identifying potential performance issues that can be corrected before they cause interruptions.

The key to a PM program is ongoing functional assessments. By regularly inspecting equipment, One Solution Service can identify and correct issues before they become major problems. The difference between standard maintenance and a PM plan is an ongoing relationship with the One Solution Service tech who keeps the equipment in proper operating condition through systematically planned inspections. The ultimate goal of the PM program is to avoid inventory loss and downtime and maximize efficiency and function. Proper maintenance thus maximizes profits.

Maximizing equipment performance and reducing downtime

One Solution Service offers quarterly PM visits that are scheduled to maintain the equipment’s ideal performance levels for its entire life cycle. One of the biggest benefits of a PM program is the ability of One Solution Service to become familiar with the particular operation’s usage patterns. This gives technicians the ability to anticipate issues and needs.

PM helps eliminate surprise disruptions that can be extremely costly. Maintenance at regular intervals identifies potential problems before they can interfere with business. A PM program saves you money over time by catching issues in the critical early phases at a time when they can be more easily corrected. The nature of the maintenance is preventive, not reactive, thus reducing loss from repair and downtime.
