When you work in maintenance, it isn't enough to just go after every leaky faucet or squeaky door you find. A major part of providing your building with good maintenance services is doing some preventative maintenance along the way. That way, you'll protect the property from more devastating problems in the future. As we near the end of August, we're finding that the NFL is doing some preventative maintenance of their own, which is a lot like what preventive maintenance software does for your business when using a complete computerized maintenance management software.
The Value in Consistency
Jay Cutler, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, has had a difficult time over the past few years. Each spring, the coaches have dumped last year's playbook and started with fresh ideas. According to Yahoo, any NFL quarterback will tell you that it takes a few years to become comfortable with a playbook. Consistency is important in the NFL, just like it is with preventative maintenance.
The Value in Locating the Problem
The New England Patriots are facing a dark season this year, after the arrest of Aaron Hernandez on murder charges. They've enjoyed some great success over the past few years, but now...well, sometimes you have to deal with a setback and rebuild. Aaron Hernandez might have been an important part of the Patriots' team, however his role as one of their star tight ends seems to have come to an end. Just as in your routine of preventative maintenance, sometimes you locate a problem and have to get rid of it before it becomes a more serious liability.
The Value in Finding a New Solution
Bills fans all across the country (or at least in Upstate New York) were excited to hear the words from Buffalo Bills' president, Russ Brandon, that gave them hope for an exciting future. The Bills recently hired a new coach, named Doug Marrone. The words, "This guy will win!" brought Buffalo Bills' fans to happy tears. The Bills have struggled for years, praying for a shot at a winning season, and each year they've come up short. Could this be the year that changes? Only time will tell if hiring a new coach is enough preventative maintenance to avoid another losing season for the Buffalo team. Sometimes, changing your process along the way, can help evaluate the success of your preventive maintenance.
We're getting closer to the start of the 2013-2014 NFL season, and as we do, teams are cleaning up their rosters and preparing for what they hope will be one win after another. Preventative maintenance is important for them, just as it's important to your organization.
