Interested in knowing why MaintainX recommends creating preventive or repeating Work Orders:

“In most industries, the cost of maintenance is between 10 and 25 percent of total operating costs,” says Timothy Close and Steve John Tideswell of McKinsey & Company. “Maintenance efficiency is an important factor in this as typically more than half the cost is labor. Improving maintenance efficiency has a positive impact on reliability—so companies can cut costs without risking performance.”
