	OSM - On-Site Maintenance is a schedule of planned maintenance actions aimed at the prevention of breakdowns and failures. The primary goal of preventive maintenance is to prevent the failure of equipment before it actually occurs. It is designed to preserve and enhance equipment reliability by replacing worn components before they actually fail. OSM - On-Site Maintenance activities include equipment checks, partial or complete overhauls at specified periods, lubrication, various cleanings, spare parts replacement and so on. In addition, documenting equipment deterioration so they know to replace or repair worn parts before they cause system failure and or incompliance with local AQMD (Air Quality Management Departments). Recent technological advances in tools for inspection and diagnosis have enabled even more accurate and effective equipment maintenance. Value of OSM - On-Site Maintenance There are multiple misconceptions about OSM - On-Site Maintenance. One such misconception is that it is unduly costly. This logic dictates that it would cost more for regularly scheduled downtime and maintenance than it would normally cost to operate equipment until repair is absolutely necessary. This may be true for some components; however, one should compare not only the costs but the long-term benefits and savings associated with routine OSM - On-Site Maintenance. Without OSM - On-Site Maintenance, for example, costs for lost production time from unscheduled equipment breakdown will be incurred as well as emergency fees to solve such a problem. Also, routine quarterly or semi-annual OSM - On-Site Maintenance visits will result in savings due to an increase of effective system service life. Long-term benefits of OSM - On-Site Maintenance include: Improved system reliability. Decreased cost of replacement. Decreased system downtime. Better spares inventory management. Long-term effects and cost comparisons usually favor routine OSM - On-Site Maintenance visits over performing maintenance actions only when the system fails. When Does routine OSM - On-Site Maintenance Make Sense Routine OSM - On-Site Maintenance is a logical choice if, and only if, the following two conditions are met: Condition #1: The equipment in question has an performance decrease in cup quality. In other words, the roast profiles are lengthening decreasing hourly output, impeding airflows, temperature fluctuations and irregular noises or lack of responsiveness. Condition #2: The overall cost of the preventive maintenance action must be less than the overall cost of a corrective action. (Note: In the overall cost for a corrective action, one should include ancillary tangible and/or intangible costs, such as downtime costs, loss of production costs, lawsuits over the failure of a safety-critical item, loss of goodwill, etc.) If both either of these conditions are met, then routine OSM - On-Site Maintenance makes sense. Additionally, based on the costs ratios, an optimum time for such action can be easily computed for a single component. OSM - On-Site Maintenance-Priced at USD $1,500 per day (travel days billed at same rate includes expenses). Balance over estimate due immediately upon completion and receipt. 8-hour days.
