“Each and every year billions of dollars are lost from companies because of downtime” said Stephen Ninnes at the recent launch of the next version of MaintainEX. “And the sad truth is that the majority of this can be avoided”.

Downtime costs in production and time is evident when something fails and the plant stops, but the true cost is wide and varying, and usually expensive. From the failure to deliver and staff discontent through to overtime increases and environmental issues.

While this can never be stopped in total, it can be significantly reduced through the effort of applying a simple Preventative maintenance program, good management of it and the ability to analyze where the faults lie. MaintainEX is a CMMS solution that can assist immensely in helping to achieve these aims. “Recently, we have been able to achieve the halving of downtime in a plant over a 12 month period just by introducing MaintainEX and applying processes to the maintenance work being done.” Said Stephen Ninnes, owner and founder of Maintenance Experts USA.

Now, with over 3,500 system users across the globe, from Wales to China to Oregon, MaintainEX is providing solutions to virtually every industry sector including manufacturing plants, building facilities, local governments, fleet managers and maintenance contractors.

MaintainEX will deliver benefits to any size company, from stand-alone installations to multi-site regionalised organisations.
