Memorial Day weekend has passed and we are now entering the summer season. What does this mean for asset management? It is time to make sure that the seasonal maintenance and upkeep is completed to avoid inefficiencies in your physical operations. More plainly stated - save money by doing your maintenance.
Facilities are in the process of changing over between heating and cooling often, as temperatures vary during this season in most areas of the country. Are your systems up to the task? Are you behind the curve when it comes to preparations for seasonal spikes? Is your infrastructure outdated, or maybe with the recent budget cuts you skipped a maintenance cycle? Now is the time to get things back on track.
Back-up generators become critical in storm season. Is your system ready for the tantrums that mother nature throws at this time of year? When is the last time you actually did a load test on your emergency power system?
Vehicles also need to be evaluated with seasonal change. Did you know that the change in temperatures in most temperate climates can create up to 5% change in your tire air pressure? That has a dramatic effect on fruel economy and on tire wear.
Engine air filters and cabin air filtration systems also need to be maintained seasonally. Poor air flow in either system robs the vehicle of efficiencies that will cost real dollars at the gas pump.
Take a few minutes and look at the equipment and assets you use in your business and life everyday. Make sure they are up to date and maintained properly. your bottom line will show the results.
