Cost of Preventive Maintenance Program

Investment return of a preventive maintenance cannot be measured unless an unplanned or catastrophic outage occurs. When such an outage strikes, the value of a maintenance program can be compared directly to the cost of the outage.

However, one thing is certain, costs generated by a power failure or an unpredictable breakage are always higher than the investment required for a regular preventive maintenance program.
