For bakeries, keeping machinery and equipment in top condition is essential to maintaining operational efficiency. By implementing a planned maintenance and servicing schedule, bakers can ensure their equipment runs smoothly and efficiently, minimising wear and tear and reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns. This proactive approach helps maximise overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and keeps production on track.
The cost of a service contract is often significantly lower than the financial impact of unplanned downtime. Depending on the size and output of a bakery, a single breakdown can cost tens of thousands of pounds in lost orders, idle staff time, and emergency repair fees.
With a service contract in place, bakeries can often benefit from discounted parts and reduced engineer call-out rates. This not only helps control costs but also allows for better year-round budget planning.
Having equipment regularly serviced and inspected by a qualified engineer also provides peace of mind. You can be confident that your machinery is operating at its intended performance levels and remains compliant with industry standards. In short: it pays to be proactive, not reactive.
