In the bustling world of industrial operations, companies within the polymer transformation sector face an array of challenges that can significantly impact their efficiency and profitability. Effective asset management and equipment maintenance are pivotal in maximizing operational availability and reducing production losses. A study published by the Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering highlights the criticality of adopting comprehensive maintenance strategies to mitigate downtime and enhance the reliability of industrial machinery. This research underscores the tangible benefits of implementing preventive and predictive maintenance practices, which can lead to a reduction in unplanned downtime by up to 45%. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emphasizes the importance of minimizing waste and environmental impact in industrial processes, advocating for the adoption of sustainable practices that align with effective asset management to preserve resources and reduce pollution.
