Goverment
As the government continues to evolve, with advancements in vehicles, apparatus, SCBA, and other gear. This new technology undoubtedly creates a safer work environment and has the potential to help save more lives and property in the community. However, it can also be expensive, both to purchase and to maintain. Now, more than ever, asset management and preventative maintenance is key to getting the most out of your equipment and assets.
Properly managing your assets can help prevent costly downtime and repairs, meaning better performance for a longer period. This ultimately leads to less money spent over the life of your asset. Taking time to get organized can pay off in the long run. Not only will you become aware of the current state of your equipment, but you can also form PPM.
One of the challenges in asset management is tracking work orders and repairs. Between different shifts and various team members, it can be easy to lose track of what needs to be repaired, where the repair should go, or when something was last repaired.
In many industries, asset management is completed with pen and paper or Excel spreadsheets. Both can only get you so far.
