It can take just one breakdown of a critical machine to spin an entire plant into an immediate production halt. At this point, it is too late for the plant manager to do anything but call a service technician, then gasp for air while counting the lost production.

Each time a breakdown occurs, a manager vows to begin a rigid maintenance program as soon as time and money permits. But that never happens. Sound familiar?

With all of the attention maintenance advances have received in recent years in the trade press and through technical shows and conferences, it is hard to imagine that any lant would not have implemented an improved maintenance program. Yet advanced maintenance techniques commonly are neglected. Selecting a program that fits the needs of a particular plant environment can be a difficult task.
