The Common Mistake With Unified Schedules
Applying a single maintenance schedule to every asset usually drives extra cost or sudden breakdowns. Each asset wears differently based on the nature of work and the environment.
The right schedule starts with understanding usage patterns: does the asset run continuously? Does it cover long distances? Is the operating environment harsh?
When to Use Each Criterion
Choosing the right criterion is what separates smart maintenance from random maintenance. You can also combine more than one criterion for the same asset.
- Calendar-based: best for low-usage assets
- Operating hours: best for heavy equipment
- Kilometers: best for vehicles and transport
- Hybrid model: triggered by whichever condition hits first
A Gradual Rollout Without Disrupting Operations
Start with the top 20% of assets most critical to operations, then scale the model gradually. This way you improve results without overloading the team.
With TAC Flow you can configure multiple alerts for the same asset and document compliance inside a unified log.
