Why Is Mechanical Emergency Management Crucial in the Industrial Sector
Quebec companies in the industrial sector understand the importance avoiding mechanical breakdowns, as these can have serious consequences that go beyond repair costs.
Here are some common consequences of a slow response to a mechanical breakdown.
Production Stoppage and Delivery Delays
The most immediate impact of a mechanical breakdown is often a production stoppage. A prolonged breakdown can lead to delays in the delivery of finished products, back orders, and may even jeopardize contracts with customers.
Increased Production Costs
There may be indirect costs associated with lost productivity in a facility or on a site during a certain period. For example, to make up for a production delay, a company may have to require its workers to work overtime. Additionally, increasing production rates can lead to higher energy consumption.
Loss of Income
A prolonged interruption can result in a significant loss of revenue, especially if products cannot be delivered on time. Companies may also face contractual penalties due to late deliveries.
Impact on Reputation
Delays in delivery and quality problems due to mechanical failure can have a negative effect on a company’s reputation. A tarnished reputation can lead to the loss of existing customers and discourage new business partnerships.
Extra Repair Costs
If a mechanical breakdown is not resolved quickly, it can lead to greater damage and even higher repair costs than originally incurred.
How to Choose your Industrial Mechanical Emergency Service?
1. Minimum response time
Choosing a service that’s always available is essential. It ensures that you receive immediate assistance from industrial mechanics professionals. For example, if you have a heavy machinery problem, Omnifab can send out a machinist within 24 hours.
2. Versatility
Choosing a team with versatile expertise is crucial because mechanical problems can have a variety of origins.
- Electromechanical
- Mechanical
- Electrical
- Pneumatic
- Hydraulic
- Structural
- and more
A mobile team that can handle a variety of emergency situations guarantees quick and efficient resolution. If the team you choose also offers mobile welding, mobile machining, dynamic balancing and laser alignment services, you know you won’t have to contact several subcontractors to solve your problem, which also reduces response times.
3. Reputation and Experience
Find out about the reputation of the team you’re considering for troubleshooting. A company with extensive experience in industrial mechanics and positive testimonials from previous clients is a reliable indicator of their trustworthiness.
Also, don’t hesitate to take a look at their project portfolio to assess their capabilities and see if they’ve already completed assignments similar to the one you’re considering.
4. Certifications
The certifications held by an industrial mechanics subcontractor can be a guarantee of quality emergency services. In some sectors, it’s even obligatory to work with certified companies as a matter of compliance.
Don’t hesitate to prioritize companies that, like Omnifab, have the following certifications.
- CWB CSA W47.1 (certification of steel fusion welding companies)
- CWB CSA W47.2 (Certification of aluminum fusion welding companies)
- Controlled Goods Program (CGP)
5. State-of-the-art Portable Equipment
Make sure the team has the latest equipment and state-of-the-art technology such a portable milling machine, laser alignment equipment, etc.
This ensures not only a rapid and professional resolution, but also a lasting repair to avoid future breakdowns.
