Preventive Maintenance
We need a preventive maintenance program that reduces emergency work, improves asset reliability, and creates clear ownership, scheduling, and reporting.
What is usually causing this?
- Unclear work-order priorities, ownership, and escalation rules
- Weak technician scheduling, capacity planning, or vendor coordination
- Inconsistent data, categories, response-time definitions, or reporting
- Too much reactive work and not enough preventive planning
- Poor coordination between maintenance, leasing, turns, and property management
What should you evaluate?
- Confirm the current-state workflow, ownership, systems, data sources, and exceptions
- Review backlog aging, response times, turns, technician capacity, vendor usage, and preventive-work mix
- Measure the problem using a small set of operational and financial facts
- Separate root causes from symptoms before recommending software, automation, or staffing changes
- Identify the minimum set of process, data, technology, and control changes required
- Define priorities, owners, sequencing, timing, and measurable outcomes
What should improve?
- A clear diagnosis of the root problem and its immediate dependencies
- Defined ownership and a practical operating workflow
- A prioritized implementation plan with measurable milestones
- More reliable management visibility and exception reporting
- Less manual work, rework, and avoidable operating friction
- Better backlog control, response performance, turn execution, and workload visibility
