Kick-Starting Your Modern Maintenance Program

Do any of these sound like you?

• I’ve got no real maintenance management system. I never have and am intimidated about where to get started.
• I’ve got a system, but I never got it off the ground and don’t feel we get what we need from it.
• I’m making progress, but I would like to further maximize my maintenance operations.

Regardless of where you’re at, kick-starting your maintenance is possible. It starts with changing the mindset of your organization – a process that may be easier than you think if you have the right CMMS tools, plan and especially the right partner. Starting with the goal, objective and pain points first, then moving to how technology can solve those problems and put you on a better path is key.

During this discussion, you’ll learn:

• A multi-step (crawl, walk, run) plan to ease you into a continuous improvement mode and get away from maintenance firefighting
• What technologies can really help improve your operations
• How to arm yourself with information that you can use with your management to show how modernizing/kick-starting your maintenance department will help with profitability
