Breakdown Response and CMMS software technology

Handling breakdowns and limiting downtime

When equipment fails the resulting downtime for maintenance and repair can mean losing up to 10% of available production time¹. While you also bear the total cost of downtime, which can range from thousands of dollars per hour to millions depending on the size and nature of your business or organization². In this scenario, time is money, where a speedy, efficient intervention is vital to restart production, minimize costs and restore profitability.

Clearly, there is the need for any breakdown in the production process to be highlighted, recorded and a response activity managed in the quickest time possible. But that’s easier said than done with increasingly complex and digitalized processes and a highly mobile response team of production operatives and maintenance engineers. Especially when staff resources may already be scarce and you are having to do more with less to maximize efficiency. As a result, breakdown alerts and activities must be collected and distributed to the right staff, in the right place and at the right time. All so they can resolve any issues in as short a time as possible.
