Depending on industries, maintenance can be the greatest expense you have beyond raw materials. So, any improvements you make that reduce the cost of maintenance can directly affect the bottom line. Reducing planned maintenance activities to a minimum can help, but may adversely affect equipment reliability which can result in downtime, lost production, or catastrophic failure.

Maintenance management systems are invaluable for defining standard jobs, preventive maintenance plans, and work packages for shutdowns, turnarounds, or other pre-defined activities. For the most part, however, they are planning tools and offer little assistance in the optimization of work schedules. And, when you add in the inevitable non-planned or emergency repairs that show up once work has begun, then schedules and costs can really begin to get out of control.

ParsPM provides sophisticated scheduling and resource management capabilities that help you optimize your work to shorten turnaround time, reduce labor costs, and increase production capacity. We help you to ensure that the required manpower is available when needed and that equipment is utilized as efficiently as possible. When new, non-planned work is identified, alternative schedules are easily modeled providing the visibility you need to stay on track and get equipment back into production.
