Creating and sustaining an effective preventive-maintenance program requires a major commitment in time, parts, money and labor, but standing by while equipment fails and production stops is not an option. This session will examine key considerations for preventive maintenance in an older facility, including facility-capacity demands, consequences of equipment breakdowns, maintenance schedules, adequate staffing, spare-parts inventories, the usefulness of a daily “walk-through” and the importance of keeping close ties with equipment manufacturers. This ed session is CEU-approved for attendees who have earned a credential through the GEAPS/Kansas State University Credentialing Program.
