There’s no need to be at the mercy of unexpected breakdowns. With a planned schedule of periodic maintenance BTS Engineering will keep your machinery and plant performing at their optimal level and let you control when they are out of service – at times that suit your production plans.
The benefits of following a periodic maintenance schedule are clear.
- More control over your operations
- More reliable machinery
- Less unexpected downtime
- Longer machinery life
- Full visibility of maintenance work done
- Overall cost savings
Designing a periodic maintenance schedule
Developing an effective periodic maintenance schedule for your factory is a team game.
We’ll get together with you to identify your critical equipment, compile its manufacturer-recommended service tasks and note the specified interval between the tasks.
The next step is to take a look at any historical breakdown records to see if we can identify any times when breakdowns tend to occur throughout the year. By factoring in your production cycles, we can time maintenance to coincide with the lowest points of demand on machinery and plant.
The third step is to create maintenance checklists for each period in the schedule. These tasks can include, but are not limited to, inspection, lubrication, calibration, safety tests, and replacement of specific parts like filters.
Maintenance records
We’ll track all the periodic maintenance that has been done and give you detailed service reports, noting any remedial work necessary and timelines for completing it. Because periodic maintenance is an ongoing exercise, it means we will usually catch any issues and fix them before they become expensive breakdowns.
And because we like to view factories as a living organism, your BTS Engineering periodic maintenance schedule will evolve with the age of your machinery, increases in production demands, and any other factors that influence reliability.
