Increasing efficiency and prolonging plant life through effective maintenance
Maintenance of plant and equipment is often pushed backwards to make way for further production, this is especially true in an industry where the production time is long, therefore any interruption to the process involves significant planning. However neglecting plant and equipment can lead to more significant loss of production time through either plant not operating efficiently or in the worst cast plant not operating at all. Proper maintenance should be cost effective and contribute to the plants profitability, most preventative maintenance procedures can be implemented with very little cost implications.
