Jim Hudson
Plant Manager | Honeywell
Speaker Presentation
Preventive Maintenance and General Plant Upkeep
Keeping your plant assets healthy is always a key strategy in the industry and while parts replacement and upkeep are necessary, there are ways in which you can reduce preventive maintenance costs without decreasing your facility’s operational efficiencies. Equipment reliability is an ongoing process which requires continuous reviews, re-evaluation and evolving maintenance strategies. Points to discuss include:
• Past and future business models that have evolved over time
• Reviewing strategies for older and new equipment including planning for equipment replacement
• Strategies to adjust short-term and long-term plans
• Adapting maintenance strategies to match new failure modes
