Equipment Maintenance Programs for Manufacturing

Where OSHA general industry, EPA non-attainment areas requires documented preventive maintenance and equipment condition tracking, Equipment Maintenance data provides the audit-ready evidence. Measurements traceable to ISO 14224 (failure modes), calibrated instrumentation records, written procedures, and finding-to-work-order tie-back. The program isn't structured to be a compliance tool — but the data it generates as a byproduct usually closes 60 to 80 percent of an inspector's questions about equipment condition.

Site walk to scope the asset population, criticality scoring against bearing failures, misalignment, gearbox wear, baseline measurements on the top 30 to 60 assets, then a regular cycle of asset-condition-driven scheduling. Findings get written up against ISO 14224 (failure modes). For Manufacturing facilities, the engagement usually includes coordination with the plant's existing compliance program — pulling Equipment Maintenance results into the OSHA general industry, EPA non-attainment areas audit file. Initial scope runs $15K-$45K depending on asset count, then ongoing at scoped per equipment population.
