Preventive Maintenance vs Corrective Maintenance

Preventive maintenance

Why does Co-Contracting choose Preventive Maintenance over Corrective Maintenance?

Co-Contracting advises his / her customers to carry out preventive maintenance instead of corrective. We also know from experience that this choice is not always up to the customer. However, with corrective maintenance the damage is usually worse than expected, as a result of which the repair costs are often higher and there is a safety, quality and production risk. Companies wait until the problem actually occurs, after which everyone has to make every effort to solve the problem in a well-considered and safe manner. For example, new material has to be delivered urgently, safety risks are usually higher than during a complete Turn Around and there is a degree of uncertainty about the exact moment when production starts up, because one depends on several companies.

 

Cost

Preventive overhaul of your installations reduces the chance of the aforementioned risks considerably. The customer has time to make a detailed planning that is coordinated with multiple parties, so that the safety and quality risks can be better mitigated and measures are taken. This allows companies to prepare better and to anticipate unexpected things in time. The costs for the factory are considerably lower over the long term.

 

Legally Mandatory Maintenance

Usually, the maintenance that Co-Contracting carries out is legally required for the customer. It is important that the maintenance and / or inspection is carried out on time before the end date has passed. If this end date has passed, this can have unpleasant consequences and even lead to fines or an immediate shutdown of production. Co-Contracting coordinates the work as closely as possible with the customer, whereby clear communication is the key to success.

 

Shorten equipment downtime

By implementing planned maintenance, the factory can shorten and optimize downtime. By scheduling multiple jobs simultaneously within a predefined annual schedule, the company has more time to produce. The company does not have to shut down, secure, put away, start up, switch on and perform functional tests less often. This shortens the total downtime and ensures that the company can continue to produce as expected and achieve the targets.

 

Increase reliability

Because the factory has less downtime, the customer can continue to be delivered on time, creating a more reliable business relationship. This normally leads to fewer complaints, planning discrepancies with regard to practice, safety risks, quality risks and logistical problems.

 

Sustainable Assets

Most parts are nowadays absolutely no longer so cheap, but the better the installation is taken care of, the longer it will last. Preventive maintenance will usually extend the life cycle and take more hours out of the installation part, resulting in reduced costs and increased profit.
