One should view maintenance, not as a cost, but as a strategic asset, states Ken Pickering of Globe-Elite.

Maintenance influences your entire operation from product quality to on-time delivery. Poor maintenance procedures can cost you in repairs, poor quality and lost production.

Good maintenance can cut your costs of production immensely.

A scheduled maintenance program with Globe-Elite is a predictive maintenance one as opposed to a preventive maintenance program.

Preventive maintenance is when you change the oil in your car every 5,000 kilometres whether you need to or not. "Predictive maintenance is when you sample the oil from time to time and check for any changes in its characteristics. You may find out you need to change the oil more often. It’s a much more accurate maintenance technique and reduces costs by keeping you from discarding perfectly good equipment."
