Operate safely
Operation / maintenance:
a driver of performance
Beyond the purely technical aspects, maintenance covers all technical, administrative and management activities, during the life cycle of an asset, to maintain it or restore it to the expected operating condition.
Maintenance of equipment and facilities is often perceived as a cost, while it is a source of profit and makes it possible to improve short- and long-term profitability as well as production efficiency.
