Preventive Maintenance



  Benchmarking Brief



Not only does the practice of machine operators performing their machine's preventive and routine maintenance free up the maintenance department to handle more complex challenges, but it also serves another purpose. The operator who works at the equipment on a daily basis is the person most familiar with its normal operation, as well as the person most likely to first recognize that a problem may be arising.
