Prepare the right information
Nominate key contacts, define the machinery or production area, prepare available records, and confirm induction, isolation, access, photography, and confidentiality boundaries.

Factory Maintenance Health Assessment
A structured review of machinery condition, maintenance practices, records, spares, safety observations, and recurring failures, followed by a prioritised action plan.
Buyer decision
Breakdowns, overdue work, and spare-parts pressure are often symptoms of a wider maintenance-system problem. Acting without a baseline can waste money on the wrong priorities.
Productised entry service
Know what happens before, during, and after the assessment.
The quotation is based on the agreed site scope, machinery or production areas, records, access conditions, reporting depth, travel, safety requirements, and confidentiality rules. Corrective work is quoted separately unless the written scope states otherwise.
Receive two levels of reporting
Management receives the five-page executive report. Maintenance teams receive the technical annex containing the detailed scoring, evidence structure, findings, and readiness gates.

The report may lead to urgent corrective work, preventive-maintenance system development, specialist referral, a controlled CMMS pilot, or monitoring without immediate expenditure.

What this work is intended to strengthen
- Creates a defensible maintenance baseline
- Separates urgent defects from longer-term improvements
- Supports budget and shutdown planning
- Reduces the risk of digitising a broken process
What the factory must support
- Provide safe site access and induction
- Identify authorised contacts and equipment
- Make relevant records available
- Approve photography and confidentiality boundaries
Boundaries and exclusions
- Not a statutory inspection or certification
- Electrical, pressure, structural, and specialist assessments require appropriately qualified partners
- Findings depend on the agreed sample, access, and information available

Important points before scope is agreed.
Is the assessment a statutory inspection or certification?
No. It is a practical maintenance and machinery review within an agreed scope. Statutory, electrical, pressure, structural, or specialist certification must be performed by appropriately authorised professionals.
Do we need a CMMS before requesting an assessment?
No. The assessment is designed to establish the machinery, workflow, record, spare-parts, and maintenance priorities that should guide any later digital implementation.
Do you guarantee zero breakdowns or a fixed downtime reduction?
No. Maintenance and reliability work can reduce preventable failures and improve visibility when properly implemented, but outcomes depend on machinery condition, operating discipline, resources, data quality, and management follow-through.
