Keep up with maintenance on your equipment
Whatever the system, anything that moves needs servicing. Regular follow-up prevents breakdowns and stoppages in your own business.
A real case
In a large retail store where we worked in January and February, an unmaintained gas heating system broke down for two weeks. Customers stayed away because it was too cold, the cold room behind it fluctuated in temperature and products were lost, and staff were uncomfortable. A week of lost production is roughly a quarter of the month's output.
