Reducing Downtime: how a repair + maintenance plan pays off

Start with repeat failures (they’re telling you something)

If the same machine keeps having the same issue, it’s not random. It might be contamination, heat, operator habits, or a component that’s near end-of-life.

Write it down. Even a simple log beats trying to remember what happened three months ago.

Keep a small “breakdown box” of essentials

You don’t need a warehouse. You need the stuff that regularly stops work: common fittings, clamps, filters, and a few hoses depending on your fleet. This alone can turn a half-day into an hour.

Make every repair leave you in a better place

After a repair, ask: what would have prevented this? Sometimes the answer is “nothing,” but often it’s a quick inspection rhythm, a filter interval change, or catching a rub point early.
