Plan for Success with Proper Service of Your Industrial Oven: Part 2

Preventive Maintenance for Your Industrial Oven – Why is it important?

The Why factors into this process as much as the How. There are long term benefits and savings by utilizing a Preventative Maintenance program. These benefits include:

• Improved System Reliability with Decreased Downtime
• Better Spare Parts Inventory Management with Decreased Cost of Replacement
• More Consistent Quality
• Improved Energy Efficiency and a Safer Work Environment
• Higher Customer Satisfaction, Retention, and Increased Profitability

There are parts on your industrial oven that may need cleaning, adjusting, repair or replacement over time and knowing/predicting those occurrences can save you money along with limiting downtime between repairs. Keeping the proper replacement parts on hand and planning for routine maintenance of components saves minimizes downtime and the cost associated with expediting parts and overtime labor.

Continued use over time can create wear and tear on your industrial oven’s components. These wear and tear items will need maintenance or repair to keep your oven operating at peak performance. If you are not proactive in preventing these type of part failures, you are at risk for costly downtime and possible equipment damage. Other considerations if you do not have a preventative maintenance program in place are safety concerns that may arise from improper maintenance and increased energy consumption from parts that are not cleaned and adjusted.

Preventative maintenance on your industrial oven can also lead to increased customer satisfaction. If a proper preventive maintenance program prevents unplanned downtime you are also preventing loss of production and possible missed shipments. On time delivery and order completion is a key component of customer satisfaction and retention. A high customer retention rate can result in higher profitability based on the fact that acquiring new customers is often more costly than retaining the customers you have.
