Preventive + Maintenance = Quality
Deciding whether or not to implement a PM program for your slitter or splicer is really simple: Do you want quality or not?
On the splicing side, Hart asks, “what is the cost of a missed splice—the cost in downtime, wasted material, lost profits, late shipments, depressed morale, etc.?” She says that if equipment is engineered and constructed well, and if operators are trained to use it properly and inspect it regularly, a simple maintenance regiment is all that’s needed.
