Preventive Maintenance 
Intense
focus is placed on the construction budget of a new facility, but few
owners place equal importance on defining an efficient plan to operate
the facility once the doors open. Over a 40 year period, maintenance
and energy will account for over 50% of a building's lifecycle costs,
compared to initial construction costs, which account for only 11% of a
building's total costs. A structured preventive maintenance system can
help ensure that a facility's structure and assets are maintained at
recommended intervals to control long term operating costs.
in4mation provides solutions to effectively
structure and schedule preventive maintenance (PM) tasks. Direct integration
with a work order system will ensure that preventive maintenance tasks
are generated on a timely basis and the work is documented for
historical reporting. Using web enabled screens and work queues, the
system can track PM work orders, document labor and parts, perform
historical reporting to measure trends and workloads, and forecast
labor requirements for future PM demands.
in4mation offers an implementation strategy to help organizations implement a preventive maintenance program and work order
system. The team provides guidance during system setup to ensure
equipment, vehicles, annual tasks, and periodic requirements are
properly setup.
