Pre-Planned Maintenance

What is Pre-planned maintenance?

Pre-planned maintenance can also be referred to as Pre-Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), Scheduled maintenance or simply planned maintenance. It is the process of ensuring that you have service agreements in place for any of your assets in your business. Asset registers are often used to ensure that this planned maintenance is completed at the right intervals. It also refers to preventing possible future issues, such as blocked drains and air conditioning issues by cleaning and servicing them to keep them well maintained resulting in fewer reactive maintenance issues occurring.

It's a bit similar to taking a flu jab. If you take a flu jab you wont catch flu, but if you don't have a flu jab you are taking the risk that something may go wrong and you may end up with flu and then you will have to face the consequences of being ill and having to take reactive medicine. It's the same in maintenance, preventative maintenance can stop things going wrong, and if you don't do it, you may be lucky and things may not go wrong, but that is a risky strategy, because if something does go wrong, then reactive maintenance is required which is often more costly.

Why do I need Pre planned maintenance?

Pre planned maintenance is necessary in any retail, restaurant, healthcare, dental, office and educational building to ensure the continuation of business without interruption. Pre planned maintenance can be completed at your convenience, rather than as an emergency or re active maintenance that must be fixed as a priority, where the issue itself determines the timings and cost.

What does pre planned maintenance involve?

Pre planned maintenance often involves pre determining a set list of issues that need to be completed, for example, air conditioning services, drainage clearance, pipe cleans, boilers serviced, cookers, dishwashers, heaters, re-lamping, clearing gutters, re painting windows, doors, checking door mechanisms and locks. This list would be agreed with each individual client as each property maintenance requirements are different.
