DIrECTED MAINTENANCE

If your elevator equipment is older or experiencing more than its fair share of trouble, by now we certainly know about it. We also likely know what parts of your elevator system are driving the troubles. Some parts may simply need to be upgraded or replaced. If bigger deficiencies exist, their existence has been conveyed to you and addressed in one way or another. 

Many smaller parts can and should be addressed and worked on over time and over multiple maintenance visits by your service provider as part of your maintenance program. Concentrating maintenance time and effort in specific areas over time and over multiple visits can rejuvenate many elevator systems. A directed maintenance prescription uses this knowledge and moves things a step further by requesting at least certain specified work items be performed during each scheduled maintenance visit. 

A successful maintenance program doesn’t happen overnight; chipping away in all the right places is critical to the improvement mission. When your service provider experiences your expanded involvement and determination for improvement, they will react accordingly. Utilizing our oversight processes puts the improvement mission into trained hands.   

With the right prescriptions, the right service provider and the right plan in place, your maintenance dollars will be paying dividends sooner than you might think and perhaps like never before. A commitment to continuous improvement will become the new norm and you will be well on your way to owning an elevator maintenance program you can be happy with and proud of.
