Controlling equipment expenses by expanding the lifespan of devices and minimizing repair needs can be a significant achievement that not only impacts the capital and operational budgets, but can have an extensive impact on efficiency as well. This session is designed to take the participant through the progression of the improvement process as it relates to understanding repetitive equipment repair needs and designing strategies toward reducing the frequency and severity of those repairs.
