“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” You’ve probably heard this phrase a lot in your lifetime. That said, it’s not the best advice. Vidíte, preventative maintenance is important. It’s better to “fix it” before a problem gets out of control and turns into a major issue!
Many companies use CMMS software for their carefully designed maintenance program, and that’s a good thing. It’s smart to have maintenance performed at regular intervals, routinely, in order to avoid having to deal with larger, costly repairs “down the line.”
Why Preventative Maintenance is Important

You also don’t want to damage your reputation. Proto, preventative maintenance saves you money in the long run. Small fixes are less expensive than big fixes, and they don’t take up as much valuable time.
