Many companies have established maintenance programs utilizing Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) — but how well are they working? As pressures to reduce costs increase, maintenance programs are often the first target for budget cuts. This is exactly the wrong response. Rather than cutting maintenance expenses, most companies should be taking a closer look at how their maintenance efforts are actually performing.
Are You Getting the Most From Your Maintenance Program?
- Do you know what your true maintenance costs are?
- What impact does maintenance have on your buildings and productivity?
- What does your work order backlog look like, and what should it look like?
- Which pieces of equipment are scheduled for PM and PdM — and are those activities actually being done?
- What is Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and how can it help you?
How Michaud Engineering Can Help
Michaud Engineering has the experience, knowledge, and resources to help you develop and deploy an effective proactive maintenance program for your building equipment. For standard HVAC and building systems, we can develop and implement preventive and predictive maintenance procedures using manufacturer recommendations, industry standards, and first-hand field experience.
For specialized or custom equipment where standard procedures don’t exist, we apply the principles of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to develop customized maintenance procedures designed specifically for your machinery — factoring in safety, reliability, and risk parameters unique to your operation.
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
We can also help you set up or improve a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to track work orders, schedule preventive maintenance, and give you real visibility into your maintenance program’s performance.
