PMP / Preventative Maintenance Programs ______ To get the most lifetime value out of your machines, a comprehensive maintenance plan is an absolute must to avoid press repair. Our Preventative Maintenance Plans are the best way to ensure your presses stay in top shape for years of efficient operation. ‍We highly recommend a PMP every 6 months if you are running multi shifts, or annually for a single shift. For additional peace of mind, we recommend establishing sets of daily, weekly, monthly, 6 month, and 12 month internal maintenance checks for each of your mechanical presses, hydraulic presses and forge presses. To help you keep track of your internal press maintenance, we’ve created a set of log sheets available as PDF downloads below: Maintenance Manual Daily Log Weekly Log Monthly Log 6 Month & Annual Log I-PREVENT PMP – PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Our Red-Yellow-Green inspection reports with photo have proven to reduce unplanned downtime. Most of our customers have us come in once a year and do complete inspections which are proven to increase up-time. Unlike traditional maintenance reports that take days to process, our PMP team employs a state-of-the-art Cloud-Based Reporting System that allows reports to be completed in real-time. Sutherland Technicians can collect photos and enter inspection results on-site directly into digital reports that are synced and made available to clients almost instantly. Our unique systems-based approach is designed to evaluate the main 6 categories of operation within each press: mechanical, electrical, pneumatics, hydraulics, lubrication, and overload. These categories are reflected in Sutherland’s report cards that we issue as part of every PMP.
