Strategic Maintenance
Strategic maintenance of your equipment is the best investment you can make to ensure smooth running of your manufacturing facility; it helps avoid the huge cost of a single event on critical equipment, which can be double the investment in strategic maintenance.
Regular service performed by comprehensively trained technicians achieve three outcomes:
1. Optimal performance resulting in increased through-put
2. Routine servicing of parts extends machinery working life
3. Preemptive detection of potentially costly stoppages and breakdowns
Each of these outcomes contributes towards significant increases in your manufacturing productivity, which can be obtained through an optimal combination of the following 3 maintenance types.
Preventative maintenance
MAR can provide periodic, planned service performed on a regular basis to maintain equipment. This extends the life of your equipment and helps avoid catastrophic breakdowns caused through preventable measures
Preventative maintenance:
• Anticipates and prepares for planned downtime
• Reduces number of downtime events, increases Mean Time Between Failure
• Stabilises maintenance budget
• Warranty utilised and maintained
Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring
For essential production areas where downtime avoidance is critical, MAR can provide condition monitoring equipment to predict failures. We use comparative data to assess probability of future events and performance to indicate when maintenance will be necessary.
Predictive maintenance:
• Allows downtime to be planned and minimised
• Assists in identification of root causes of failures
• Lowers the total cost of ownership
Breakdown response/ servicing
MAR staff are available 24/7 to provide service and support in the event of a breakdown. Breakdown servicing is ideally only for unexpected issues, where length and frequency of downtime, repair and downtime costs are not critical.
Breakdown servicing often involves:
• Longer downtime, most often unplanned
• More costly
• Reduced Mean Time Between Failure
• Breakdown servicing is unpredictable in nature, a more proactive approach to maintenance is recommended
