A Preventive Maintenance Agreement from Bosch is an excellent mechanism to keep your packaging lines running with high reliability and at top performance levels.  As with your automobile or home HVAC system, each of which you fully depend on, planned check-ups, adjustments and tune-ups can help to keep your Bosch packaging equipment running efficiently and save you money at the same time.

In today's fast paced and competitive world, it is absolutely essential for procurers of goods to keep their equipment and lines operating at the highest speeds and output possible, but also with the greatest efficiency and with the least scrap or losses.  In addition, and perhaps of greater long term importance, catastrophic breakdowns and production stoppages must be avoided at all cost.   A modest investment in a series of planned preventive service visits will help prevent a costly breakdown and extensive loss of capacity.

A Preventive Maintenance Agreement is an opportunity to create an open understanding and expectations regarding service response, performance targets, ongoing responsibilities and priorities of each party, and of course pricing advantages and cost saving benefits of a planned service program.  Typically, an agreement consists of a planned schedule of visits, of either fixed or varying duration, executed by specific technicians if desired, with a defined scope and range of services to be provided and fixed deliverables such as reports, recommendations, on the job training, immediate intervention as needed - all this at a pre-defined price.

Through a series of planned service visits at regular intervals, our service technicians will be familiar wit the specifics of your operation and become true service partners.  In addition to taking care of your Bosch equipment, our service technicians will also look upstream and downstream to determine if either of these areas are preventing your Bosch equipment from operating at maximum efficiency.  Where this appears to be the case, Bosch can work with the respective equipment manufacturers in order to ensure that your entire packaging line receives the benefit of our evaluations.

The Preventive Maintenance Agreement is flexible and can be tailored to your own very unique needs, covering one or multiple lines, one or multiple plants, for any number of visits over a specified period of time.  It can be extended or renewed, can include "out of scope" emergency work that may come up, and can be a foundation of a disciplined and well managed maintenance program.
