In recent years, manufacturers have dedicated less and less
money to maintenance budgets as competition grows, margins become tighter and
equipment costs increase.
The decline in the
amount of money allocated to maintenance budgets in this sector is surprising
when you consider that the majority of manufacturers are increasing their
installed equipment base.
While maintenance may not be seen as an investment in the same
way that staff and equipment are, in reality it’s an essential means of
protecting assets such as electric motors, variable-speed
drives, pumps
and other electro-mechanical equipment.
A programme of regular preventative or predictive
maintenance ensures that issues can be dealt with before faults occur, meaning unplanned
downtime is significantly reduced, not to mention the considerable expense
associated with such an inconvenience.
