Equipment
Purpose: To ensure that farm equipment is properly maintained, repaired, and utilized to optimize productivity and minimize downtime.
Poor Outcome:
Frequent equipment breakdowns lead to high repair costs, lost productivity, and unsafe conditions. Long-term, this results in higher operational costs and reduced efficiency.
Expected Outcome:
Regular maintenance reduces breakdowns, improves productivity, and ensures equipment safety. Over time, the farm sees sustained equipment performance and reduced costs.
Excellent Outcome:
Predictive maintenance and efficient equipment use lead to zero unplanned downtime, maximum productivity, and cost savings. Long-term, the farm benefits from high equipment reliability and increased operational efficiency.
