Coupeville, WA - - Benchmate Systems, Inc., provider of maintenance management software solutions since 1985, announces that founder and president Bob Nichols was recently interviewed with Better Process Podcast to discuss the challenges faced by today’s small to mid-size manufacturers and the impact maintenance has on their operations. Nichols underscored the importance and criticality of properly tracking maintenance activity to ensure uninterrupted production and minimize downtime. Emphasis was placed on doing so in mid-size environments where resources are often limited, yet production goals must still be met within a tighter time frame as compared to larger, multi-shift manufacturing plants.
“Global competition is a reality no matter what size the manufacturer or facility may be,” says Nichols. “The pressure is constantly on the medium size company to meet production demands and that means plant assets must be available at all times. Uptime is key. By proactively addressing preventive maintenance and properly scheduling when work needs to be done, downtime can be reduced dramatically anywhere from 30-50% - which translates directly to bottom line profits.”
