There are a number of ways a company can reduce its maintenance spend on laboratory equipment. It can buy more reliable and easier to maintain equipment, reduce coverage levels, seek better commercial terms or move towards a more efficient service delivery model. OneSource helps customers control its costs in all of these areas.
- OneSource asset and maintenance management software provides the cost of ownership information that allows laboratories to make better informed purchasing decisions.Mean Time Before Failure MTBF, Mean Time To Repair MTTR, repair types, fault frequency, and Preventive Maintenance PM downtime are all important metrics provided by the system, and all help customers judge which equipment is going to cost less to own over a typical lifetime
- OneSource asset management knowledge base provides PerkinElmer with the data to recommend which coverage levels can be safely reduced without affecting uptime for a given instrument of a given age in a given environment
- OneSource managed maintenance solutions determine opportunities to migrate full coverage OEM contracts to billable time & materials service without adversely affecting service performance. Additionally, advanced data modeling allows us to predict which assets will cost lower to maintain on a billable basis and where it is beneficial to retain a specific type of contract coverage
- OneSource Triage solutions create efficiencies by dedicating engineers to a site and eliminating the cost of travel, which can account for 16-20% of the cost of a service call. The travel time saved is used to improve wrench time utilization allowing the cost of one engineer to be leveraged across a bigger work load
