7 Proven Ways to Reduce Equipment Maintenance Costs..pdf

Are you ready to stop overspending on reactive repairs? This presentation transforms your approach to Equipment maintenance, turning it into a strategic advantage. The key to boosting your bottom line and maximizing asset reliability lies in shifting from a costly, reactive model to a data-driven, proactive strategy.
This presentation covers 7 proven ways to reduce costs:
Implementing structured Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs to fix small issues before they become costly failures.
Leveraging Predictive Maintenance (PdM) technology and IoT sensors to monitor real-time asset health and maintain only when needed.
Empowering operators with comprehensive training to serve as the first line of defense against human error and improper use.
Using a CMMS to optimize spare parts inventory, standardize workflows, and identify high-cost "bad actor" assets.
Mastering precision lubrication and Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) to permanently eliminate recurring breakdowns.
Discover how to cut waste, stop overspending, and boost reliability with Cryotos solutions.

Costs
Uncontrolled maintenance spending is
a silent profit killer. Shifting from a
reactive to a proactive model is the key
to significant savings. These proven
strategies will help you cut costs, not
corners.

3. Way 1 – Implement a Preventive
Maintenance (PM) Program
Schedule regular inspections and service based
on usage or time.
Stop waiting for equipment to fail; fix small issues
before they become major.
Preventive tasks cost, on average, 3-5 times less
than reactive repairs.
Drastically reduces unplanned downtime and lost
production.
Extends the total operational lifespan of your
valuable assets.

4. Way 2 – Leverage Predictive
Maintenance (PdM) Technology
Use IoT sensors (vibration, thermal, oil) to monitor
asset health in real-time.
Get alerts before a failure occurs, not after.
Perform maintenance only when data shows it's
actually needed.
Avoids the cost of over-maintenance
(unnecessary PMs).
Allows you to schedule repairs during non-peak
hours, cutting labor costs.

5. Way 3 – Invest in Comprehensive
Operator Training
Trained operators run equipment within its
correct design limits.
Empower operators to be the first line of defense;
teach them to spot early warnings.
Proper daily checks (like fluid levels) prevent 80%
of common failures.
Reduces breakdowns caused by human error or
improper use.
A well-run machine incurs less wear, tear, and
stress.

6. Way 4 – Optimize Your Spare Parts
Inventory
Carrying too many parts ties up cash; carrying
too few causes costly downtime.
Use a CMMS to track parts usage and set data-
driven reorder points.
Identify and prioritize critical spares to balance
cost vs. risk.
Consolidate suppliers to negotiate better bulk
pricing.
Eliminate obsolete parts that are taking up
valuable space.

WAY 5 – STANDARDIZE WORKFLOWS
WITH A CMMS
Use a Computerized Maintenance Management
System (CMMS) as your central hub.
Create digital checklists and standard operating
procedures (SOPs).
Ensure every repair is done correctly and
consistently, every time.
Track all labor hours and parts costs against each
asset.
Use this data to identify high-cost "bad actor"
assets that need attention.

8. Way 6 – Focus on Precision Lubrication
Management
Improper lubrication (wrong type, amount, or
interval) is a top cause of failure.
Create a clear lubrication schedule and use
labeled, color-coded tools.
Store lubricants correctly to prevent
contamination, which destroys components.
Use oil analysis to detect internal wear particles
and fluid degradation.
Proper lubrication reduces friction, heat, and
energy consumption.

9. WAY 7 – CONDUCT ROOT CAUSE
FAILURE ANALYSIS (RCFA)
When a machine fails, don't just fix the symptom—
find the real cause.
Ask "Why?" multiple times to drill down past the
obvious.
Was it a bad part, operator error, or a flawed PM
procedure?
Implementing a fix for the root cause prevents the
failure from ever happening again.
This permanently eliminates a source of recurring
maintenance costs.
