for example:- a flat battery may be caused by a faulty battery or charging system or a combination of both or rarely an external factor such as a faulty battery charger. The cause is not always obvious!A ServiceB ServiceC Service
Planned Preventative Maintenance
Benefits of PPM
Improved Equipment Life: The primary aim of PPM maintenance is to enhance the productivity of equipment and prolonging longevity. By ensuring equipment is running efficiently and for a longer time scale, this eliminates the premature replacement of equipment and machinery.
Decreased Equipment Downtime: When equipment is operating at its maximum efficiency and there is a reduction in equipment downtime, this, in turn, increases the productivity of the company.
Reduced Overhead Costs: PPM maintenance enhances the longevity of equipment and building fabric so reduces potential expenditure on replacement equipment. There is also likely to be a reduction in the energy supply costs as equipment in good working condition often consume less power. Hence, highly efficient equipment enables the company to increase profits.
Improved Work Scheduling: PPM is a more economical use of maintenance engineers times as they are able to work based on the scheduled plans of the preventative maintenance rather than a reactive basis. Emergency and reactive maintenance often takes time to arrange and causes disruption to the working day. PPM maintenance can support in the prevention of this.
Circumvention of Large Scale Repairs: The regular nature of PPM maintenance prevents the trickle-down phenomena, which is simply the accumulation of small problems into a larger one. As equipment parts or building fabric components in need of repair are noticed at early stages of failure during maintenance checks.
Improved Workplace Safety: The highest levels of safety in the workplace can only be achieved when equipment is working in the best condition possible. There is also the potential to reduce insurance premiums as well-maintained equipment is considered safer.
