Planned Maintenance
Harvey Glass Machinery
Harvey Glass Machinery Engineers specialise in the repairs and maintenance of most machines used in the Flat Glass Industry. The tolerances in the machines are small and the opportunities for faults to develop are great, i.e. "grinding paste syndrome".
When the Engineer has repaired or serviced a machine, the Engineer will discuss with the company a recommended service interval. This time is judged using the Engineers skill and expert knowledge of the specific machine along with its environment and expected usage. Once the Engineer has serviced the machine, it will become clear which components are likely to require replacement on the next service.
This enables the Engineer to estimate the cost of the work and the expected downtime, and the Engineer will know which components he will need. By using Harvey Glass Machinery Engineers, the company's machinery will be serviced by specialists, who can give an excellent preventive maintenance service. However, some aspects of a predictive maintenance service will be included, gained from experience from many other companies' similar equipment, but without the risks associated.
This kind of service is probably the best option for many small to medium sized companies. It's sometimes economical for large companies such as Pilkington Glass to use this service, as the expertise available is far greater than they could accumulate alone.
