Prevention is better than cure

Visitors to the Schaeffler stand will see a comprehensive range of products and services for the maintenance and condition monitoring of plant and machinery. The theme of the stand is 'Prevention Is Better Than Cure'.

Although the cost of a machine component is very small compared to the total cost of the machine, the cost of production downtime and any consequential losses as a result of the component failure, can be significant.Manufacturers need to ensure that high value plant and machinery is adequately insured against the cost of unforeseen breakdowns. Schaeffler suggests using a risk management approach, whereby risk assessments are carried out regularly to see what effect breakdowns would have on critical, bottleneck machines and equipment.
