In How to Create a Facilities’ Preventive Maintenance Schedule, we discuss how planning your facilities’ preventive maintenance schedule is an investment in your productivity. Not only does it control your maintenance budget, but it also lengthens the lifespans of equipment and protects your business from outages or breakdowns. It’s difficult to get multiple opinions or price shop when you’re in crisis mode, meaning the already high cost of an emergency repair could wind up being even higher unintentional. Besides the loss of monetary resources, there’s also the hit to both time and convenience, both for your staff and customers alike.

Step Four. Train the Facility Maintenance Team – Get your team onboard with your schedule and plan.

Step Five. Assess and Improve – Assess. Analyze. Improve. Repeat.
