Why You NEED Preventative Maintenance - News from Dan's Machine Tool blog.
"Imagine this - you are trying to fill a big order for a new customer, the kind that is huge for your company in terms of growing revenue and getting your name out there to a larger market, and a machine goes down. It does not work and there is no immediate solution. You have to call the customer and tell them you can’t do it. Ouch.
This is why our Service Manager, Rick McGuire, says the most important part of running a manufacturing business is to keep your machines running their best. At all times. It might not be what comes first to mind when you think about production and revenue, but an unexpected machine break can immediately halt production and keep you from fulfilling that order or contract as you frantically call around for an available technician or even worse, a suitable replacement machine on a tight turnaround that won’t break your budget. Believe us, we hear and see these stories regularly.
Summer is coming to an end, and the season is ramping up for our industry. It’s time to look ahead for the year. We would like to offer a 10% discount on all PM services with additional discounts if you sign up for the annual maintenance schedule. This will save on costs of breakdowns and part failures and even relieve you of work stress knowing you have done what you can to be prepared.
As Rick says, “You won’t be left scrambling for a service date. Our annual preventative maintenance maintains your place on our service schedule, guaranteed. It is key to your best optimal results for higher productivity, less down time, and more money.”
With preventative maintenance for example, our technician can see gears that are worn and upgrade you to a full service if needed, which gives you priority over last minute requests. A lot of calls that have become big repairs and delays for you could have been prevented. Like your car, your manufacturing machines require more regular attention than you may realize.
We specialize in mills, lathes, OD grinders, most presses and shears but please enquire about your specific machines and we will see how we can address your preventative maintenance needs with our four service schedules – monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual options.
Reach out and mention the discount. Also, make sure to visit our website to see more details about service options."
