Does your operation experience any of the following?

• The same equipment failures happening again and again.
• Maintenance schedules that are the same for all similar equipment, even if the application or economic impact are different.
• No maintenance standards or best practices exist.

Equipment failures result in lost production and expensive repairs. In these economic times while you are desperately trying to reduce production costs, an estimated one-third of maintenance expenditures are wasted. Maintenance averages 14% of the cost of goods sold in many industries, making it a prime target for cost-reduction efforts.

According to a DuPont report,

The largest single controllable expenditure in a plant today is maintenance, and in many plants the maintenance budget exceeds annual net profit.

A good maintenance strategy will improve process operations and reduce costs. Optimizing the return on maintenance is now a key strategy for most operations.
