Benefits Of Outsourcing Facility Maintenance

What is Outsourced Maintenance?

Outsourced maintenance is the practice of using a third party to handle some or all aspects of plant equipment and facility maintenance. At KRC, our Complete Maintenance Solution Division is capable of managing all maintenance inside the four walls of your factory including NC equipment, special processing equipment, CMM, overhead cranes and hoists, and building maintenance just to name a few areas.

Top Maintenance Challenges Manufacturers Face:

1.

Current Lack of skilled technical talent

2.

Failure to implement new strategies and technologies to improve processes

3.

High unplanned maintenance costs

4.

High rate of equipment downtime

5.

Unsuccessful or nonexistent PM Program

6.

Changing focus to core competency of manufacturing products vs. fixing equipment

Why Outsource Maintenance?

Continual crisis mode in your maintenance department leads to friction between all functional departments in your business. Outsourced maintenance providers can bridge the gap between operations and maintenance departments - once every area of your factory is working together your company will be able to achieve greater productivity.

Outsourcing maintenance also offers a streamlined process solution that will create the real and measurable results your current maintenance routine is failing to meet.

 

Advantages of Outsourced vs. In-House Maintenance 

Deciding whether outsourced maintenance is right for your facility can be one of the most difficult decision made by a business leader. It's important to weigh the pros and cons of in-house vs. outsourced maintenance for your specific facility needs. General advantages of outsourcing maintenance over keeping maintenance in-house include: 

  • Cost savings
  • Improved expertise and work quality
  • Up-to-date technology
  • Time to focus on core business objectives
