Benefits of Maintenance
Effective facility maintenance is crucial for several reasons including, but not limited to:
- Optimizing asset performance - A well maintained asset operates at maximum efficiency and ensures consistency.
- Decreasing asset downtime and failure - An asset that undergoes periodic maintenance runs more efficiently with lesser chances of downtime or breakdown.
- Extending asset lifetime - Regular maintenance can extend the productive lifetime of assets and reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
- Ensuring safety - Maintenance can help identify and prevent potential safety hazards such as electrical leaks.
- Minimizing costs - Maintenance and repair spending is general and expected expenditure in the facility. However, this cost can be minimized by detecting anomalies at the early stages.
