Preventative Maintenance
Impact on the Organization
Is preventative maintenance really necessary? Isn’t it
easier to just run a machine until something breaks down and
then fix it? And do you really have the time to shut down for
preventative maintenance? The answer is that preventative maintenance
is necessary, cost-effective, and time-saving. It can make the
difference between a company staying competitive and losing its
edge. Preventative maintenance can also decrease an organization’s
operating expenses, by keeping machines running well, finding
problems when they are still small, and helping employees to
take responsibility for their machines’ operations.
