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.
