Stop Letting Deferred Maintenance Run the Show

Tuesday, November 3rd at 9:00 AM

Delaying maintenance repairs or capital renewal projects due to budget constraints can lead to costly consequences. Deferred maintenance increases the risk of system failures, can raise repair costs to as much as 15 times the original expense and may create serious safety concerns. In this session, Andy Gager, COO of AMG International Consulting, will explore the key drivers of deferred maintenance and share practical strategies to reduce backlogs, protect assets and prevent small issues from becoming costly problems.
