We have often been asked this question “Why do we need maintenance? Is it really necessary?”
To many business owners or asset management teams, “if it is not broken, don’t fix it”, but relying solely on deferred maintenance leaves you vulnerable to added costs and lost productivity.
Performing routine preventive maintenance ensures your hardware operates efficiently and offers you peace of mind. Let’s look at the benefits.
To some, this is the most important benefit of preventive maintenance. Keeping your printers in good condition allow them to have longer life span.
Another key benefit is lowering the risk of breakdowns. Waiting to perform maintenance until failure puts you at risk for lost productivity and a damaged reputation.
Along with lasting longer, printers that see routine preventive maintenance also run more efficiently.
Downtime is inevitable when maintenance is being performed. However, it can be significantly reduced by scheduling maintenance in advance with a preventive maintenance plan. In the case of a reactive maintenance repair, the printers’ downtime might be extended by waiting for specialized assistance or shipment time of necessary parts.
When preventive maintenance is performed, you have the opportunity to schedule the procedure at a convenient time for your business, minimizing disruptions in operations and efficiency.
Health and safety are often thought of as primarily a concern in facilities with dangerous equipment, but health and safety are important in every facility– even office buildings and schools.
Routine maintenance can improve the reliability and safety of printers. It helps to uncover any hazard and prevent unsafe working conditions, so you have fewer on-the-job injuries and accidents.
Imagine your customers stuck at the ticketing counter, unable to purchase any tickets as that particular printer has broken down. They have to join the queue at another ticketing counter. All the waiting time and time wastage will lead to unhappy customers.
Ensuring your printers are always running as efficiently as possible helps to create a strong brand image and increase customer satisfaction.
Unplanned maintenance typically costs a few times more than planned maintenance. Emergency reactive maintenance has to accommodate the cost of rushed shipping on necessary parts, compensation for specialized technicians, and lost sales revenue or productivity while the printers cannot be used.
The upfront costs of performing preventive maintenance may seem intimidating at first, especially if you are operating under a tight budget. However, maintaining your printers is an investment in your company’s future.
