Preventive + Maintenance = Quality

Wiecko cites peace of mind as an added benefit to having a comprehensive program. “A comprehensive PM program gives converters the comfort of knowing that their equipment is updated and tuned to run at peak performance,” he says. “Many PM programs include a maintenance agreement, guaranteeing a set number of visits throughout the contract. The converter is secure in knowing that the equipment will be appropriately and fully maintained throughout the contract.” More importantly, to Wiecko, is the current economic situation. “The converter will experience reduced costs, including a reduction in downtime and waste, and increased speed and high quality,” he relates.
