At a time when manufacturers are improvising to overcome supply chain challenges, staggering their worker shifts, banning visitors, and installing space and barriers between workers to protect them from infection, the status of the plant’s proactive maintenance program might be the last thing on anyone’s mind.
The good news is that the portrait of predictive maintenance that is emerging is one where (a) workers are still increasingly satisfied with their programs; (b) workers are increasingly comfortable with partnering outside the organization as needed to maintain program strength; and (c) the only significant obstacle to success is perceived to be the budget.
Thomas Wilk recently hosted a webinar with SEPCO to discuss the results of Plant Services' most recent predictive maintenance survey and what trends are gaining ground.
