When considering scheduled servicing and general maintenance of your equipment and machinery there are three types of approaches:
  • Reactive
          This is the least profitable and most costly approach, repairs are begun when faults and failures have already                                 occurred or fixing it after it has broken.
  • Preventative
​          Preplanned servicing scheduled usually from manufacturers recommendations. This can save up to 25% of the                               repairing costs not to mention the unplanned downtime.
  • Predictive 
          Repair/servicing schedule based on the realistic condition of machine, parts and components. This approach can have               huge cost savings of up to 40%.

Diesel West highly recommends that the manufacturers scheduling is adhered to for maintaining your machines reliability in a cost effective approach.
