Four ways to keep your project on time
1. Using predictive maintenance
What if you could foresee issues before they occurred? With predictive maintenance practices – such as oil condition monitoring – you can. In turn, you can reduce the likelihood of failures, preventing unplanned downtime and reducing costs in the process.
2. Selecting the right tool for the job
Still an underappreciated part of the productivity equation, the right lubricant can play a vital role in maintaining the uptime you need to meet demanding deadlines, by helping to prevent a wide variety of common equipment issues.
3. Upskilling your workforce
76% of construction companies believe that the insufficient expertise of their staff plays a role in equipment breakdowns.1 With downtime having a direct impact on your ability to meet deadlines, the case for upskilling your workforce has never been clearer.
4. Implementing telematics
With so many machines on the move, a construction site can be an easy place to lose efficiencies. Alternatively, an equipment management platform can help you stay on top of your vehicles and on time for your deliverables.
