John M. Thompson, 2010
Preventive maintenance is an important subject in our business. With shrinking budgets we are often put in a position of deferring maintenance and pushing the cost down the road. This is not a preferred method, but it is often the option we choose due to lost budget dollars. We are caught in this vicious circle and have a hard time of getting off the proverbial merry-go-round. Preventive maintenance will help with the life-cycle cost of your equipment.
We find ourselves putting off preventive maintenance because of the large amount of data required to input in the database to make record keeping effective.
