Preventive Maintenance Scheduling
Breakdowns seem to occur at the most inopportune times. Being unprepared creates an emergency situation. Emergencies are a diversion that adversely affects personnel assignments, time, productivity and profits. Emergency repairs are, often times, only a temporary fix. Costs to correct the situation are most often, significantly higher than planned, maintenance and repair projects.

Preventive maintenance scheduling can improve the day-to-day running of facilities by minimizing breakdowns to a manageable level. Preventive maintenance scheduling is vital to improving operations, productivity and profits.

Savin's automated approach to preventive maintenance scheduling enables the user to schedule maintenance, track work orders, document the maintenance history of items, find costs for parts and labor, respond to emergencies faster, coordinate projects, track and allocate resources, and prioritize work requests. Duplicate work orders are eliminated. Critical work orders can never be misplaced because they are automatically regenerated. Tasks not completed are automatically re-scheduled for the next week. Repeat tasks are defined on newly generated work orders. Reports and schedules for individual buildings, sections of your facility, or all buildings can be generated and viewed instantaneously.

Implementing a preventive maintenance scheduling system improves productivity and reduces or eliminates overtime costs and inflated repair costs.

Building Condition Surveys
Schools, colleges and universities are required by law to periodically survey and evaluate their spatial, thermal, visual, health and safety, seismic, energy, aesthetic and accessibility requirements as related to educational programming and structural soundness.

Building condition surveys can provide valuable information to managers of all types of facilities. Evaluating all aspects of a building - its systems, systems components, sub-systems, sub-components and equipment - provides an overall snapshot of the current conditions.

Using an electronic, hand-held data collection device, Savin will collect a wide range of facility related data in the field. All facilities data collected during the survey will be compiled into a database. The database, which will contain a description of each deficiency, probable useful life, recommended corrective actions, and cost estimates to repair or replace deficient items, will be linked to the location(s) of the deficiencies/conditions on CAD drawings and digital photos. Data - organized and maintained in a comprehensive, user-friendly, automated system is - literally - at your fingertips.

Building condition survey results provide a strategic framework for future decisions regarding upgrading and replacement of all aspects of an organization's facilities.

Annual Visual Inspections
For any organization committed to maintaining the safety of their buildings and the welfare of their occupants, annual or frequent visual inspections can prevent unsatisfactory, unsafe and unhealthful building conditions.

Savin will conduct an annual visual inspection of all the components of the building condition survey for changes that may have occurred. Building systems and systems components will be inspected to determine if there is evidence of movement, deterioration, and/or structural failure. The need for repairs, replacement and maintenance, and a review and update of the safety rating (as needed) will be noted.
