| description abstract | The maintenance of heavy construction equipment is a vital function for many construction contractors. A regular, structured preventive maintenance program can be a worthwhile investment for several reasons: Reduced field breakdowns; more efficient equipment and operator utilization; elimination of unnecessary parts damage and reductions in inventory requirements; preservation of warranties; more productive mechanics; and longer‐lasting repairs. This article discusses an integrated preventive maintenance system developed for a large, multi‐site quarrying operation. The physical and personnel requirements are briefly presented, and the management control aspects discussed in detail. Implementation considerations are related and the substantial improvements achieved in overall fleet availability are documented. Finally, the integration of this system to the company's other accounting modules is outlined. | |
