Added Value of Maintenance
Discover that good maintenance is literally worth its weight in gold.
Good maintenance ensures smooth-running production. Neglecting maintenance leads sooner or later to production delays and may even cause a stoppage. Obviously, continually analysing the added value of maintenance is very important. After all, it is that added value that justifies the maintenance activity. Ironically however, it is in exactly this area of demonstrating added value that many maintenance organisations fall short. As a consequence, maintenance is seen mainly as a cost and, as we all know, costs are areas where savings can be made. The added value of maintenance is soon forgotten when this view is taken, with all the associated knock-on effects.
Correct analysis of the added value of maintenance not only quantifies the costs of maintenance, it also quantifies the benefits so that the right choices can be made.
