Why Is Capital Equipment Maintenance Important?
Capital equipment is typically one of the most expensive assets for any business and as such, regular maintenance will extend the life of capital equipment, reduce capex, and mitigate the risk of unplanned downtime. In our article, why is filtration important, we discussed how 70% of component replacements or ‘loss of usefulness’ is due to surface degradation.
Assets have value – if they are maintained well the value of capital equipment will not depreciate as quickly
Defer replacement costs – well maintained capital equipment will last longer, so you will not need to replace them as often
Minimize breakdowns – equipment that breaks can completely disrupt productivity and cost the business a lot of money. Maintaining the equipment will reduce the likelihood of any breakdowns
