Create greater preventive maintenance capacity

To improve preventive maintenance performance on campus, institutions need to ensure staff have the capacity to do more preventive maintenance. Facilities leaders estimate that technicians spend 10% to 30% of their time unproductively on activities such as unnecessary travel, searching for missing information, and dealing with inefficient processes.

The majority of timesinks fall into two main categories:

Obtaining information to complete the preventive maintenance task

As a result, staff leave their work sites to hunt down information from reference manuals, work order history, and even maps to pinpoint where a piece of equipment is located. The solution is to create an information hub.

Gathering tools and materials required to complete a task

Maintenance staff must pause work to hunt down supplies, visit the supply room, or place material delivery orders. The solution is automate the maintenance procurement process.
