Ineffective PM Programs Are Costing You
You deserve a PM program that actually prevents failure, without wasting time or labor.
You work hard to maintain your equipment, but poor preventive maintenance strategies are costing you more than you realize. Wasted resources, emergency breakdowns, skipped or inconsistent tasks, and misaligned priorities all add up to lost time, money, and trust. When maintenance and production aren’t aligned, everyone feels the strain. It doesn’t have to be this way.
How are poor PM’s Effecting You?
Ineffective preventive maintenance creates more problems than it solves.
Wasted technician hours on tasks that don’t add value
Emergency breakdowns despite scheduled maintenance
Skipped or misunderstood tasks due to poor documentation
Sinking costs in labor, downtime, and lost productivity
Frustration and misalignment between maintenance and production teams
Unnecessary time and tasks can be intrusive and lead to unexpected downtime
You shouldn’t have to choose between doing more work and doing the right work.

Here’s How We Can Help
PM/PdM Assessment
We can assess the current state of your PM program to identify opportunities for improvement and develop a strategic plan to greatly improve the value of your PMs.
PM/PdM Playbook
We can partner with you to develop an overarching policy that provides internal alignment and expectations related to the application of PM systems and tools.
PM Optimization
We can provide training, support, and tools to analyze and optimize PM strategies for critical assets using principles of Reliability Centered Maintenance to apply the most effective maintenance strategies based on probable failure modes.
PM Development
For assets that lack maintenance strategies, we can provide resources to develop PM’s for assets by utilizing principles of RCM to create failure mode specific PM tasks. Ask about our “30-day PM Development Pilot”!
PM/PdM Continuous Improvement Audit
We can develop processes and tools to engage frontline supervision to formally assess the effectiveness and efficiency of PM tasks and identify opportunities for improvement.
