Manufacturing maintenance teams are challenged with ensuring maximum availability of machinery and equipment to increase production capacity and efficiency. One of the key roles of maintenance is to keep production lines running without unplanned downtime; keeping machinery serviced, updated, and running effectively to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns and stoppages.
ITI Group’s maintenance management software solution, built on the industry-leading MES TrakSYS™ platform, including reactive maintenance, asset management, and preventive maintenance modules, can help you meet production schedules, reduce downtime, reduce repair costs, and improve productivity.

What causes high maintenance costs?
- High maintenance costs can be experienced as a result of a number of things, such as; unplanned downtime, equipment faults, breakdowns and lost production from quality, time or speed. Even if equipment is operational, it may not be running at maximum speed, it may break down too regularly resulting in inconsistent product quality, excess waste, whilst disrupting planning and scheduling. Establishing the root causes of high maintenance costs is the first step to managing and reducing these costs.
- Unplanned maintenance results in lost production, higher part costs, and lost time for fixing the problem; costing significantly more than planned maintenance. Preventive maintenance can be planned, reducing the costs as shut down can be planned to coincide with production downtime. Therefore, preventive and reactive maintenance needs to be controlled and managed effectively to keep equipment producing consistently high product quality.
