NHS Trusts and Private Healthcare providers are faced with the dilemma of having to decide whether to commit to one of the traditional options:
- a lower initial cost preventative maintenance program with the risk of a higher cost for break-fix response,
- or a higher initial cost for a fully comprehensive programme mitigating risk for a premium cost.
When Mi Healthcare was approached by a large NHS Trust we used our experience, hardware knowledge and understanding of their needs to provide access to information such as:
- Reliability data to establish priority for maintenance.
- Ways to evaluate, refurbish and upgrade equipment so that it remained within manufacturers specification at an appropriate cost
We then, in conjunction with key decision makers in the Trust designed:
- Easy to understand models that provide the most effective maintenance for the lowest cost.
- Procurement strategies for replacement parts based on the reliability prediction.
- Optimized maintenance based on equipment  KPIs to deliver appropriately planned schedules for preventative inspections and minimise repair costs.
Positive Outcomes and what Mi Healthcare can do for you.
