Maintenance is an Essential part of Business<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

According to the Cambridge dictionary, Maintenance means \u201cwork that you do to keep something in good condition<\/em>\u201d. Since the First Industrial Revolution (1760), when machines entered in people\u2019s daily life, individuals have strived to maintain the machinery in the correct operating conditions and found that the way to keep it working for a long time was by performing maintenance work.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Nevertheless, many companies keep struggling to implement maintenance strategies because of the costs that this entails, the hard-to-change corporate cultures and the lack of training.<\/p>\n

But failures can be expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

The failure of a single component can cause the breakdown of other components resulting in the need for more complicated and prolonged repairs.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Analysing the chart, although capital savings may increase since no maintenance techniques or inspections are performed, the downtime resulting from the breakdowns is a huge cost driver. Another downside of waiting until the machinery fails is that restoring it to perfect operation conditions may be more expensive than maintaining its condition with systematic and planned actions.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Companies have to look at maintenance as an investment rather than a cost, as in the long run, it can save money, time and stress caused by downtime. A new report<\/a><\/em> from The Swedish Club shows that incorrect maintenance and repair continue to be the most frequent cause of main engines damage \u2013 a trend which has continued unabated since the Club began monitoring the issue nearly ten years ago.<\/p>\n
