Preventive maintenance is a subject that seems to be talked about more than it is actually carried out. Some of this stems from a misunderstanding as to what constitutes preventive maintenance and the feeling that "we are too busy" just dealing with the day-to-day maintenance demands to do all this "extra work."

In this session, Paul Votto not only explains preventive maintenance, he shows how to implement a PM program that is practical and achievable.

Among the topics covered will be:

• The difference between planned and preventive maintenance
• How preventive maintenance fits into an overall maintenance program
• The concept of "useful life" and its role in preventive maintenance
• The optimum time to implement a PM program
• How to implement PM in an older property
• Typical PM tasks in an apartment community and deciding which are right for your property

By following Paul’s proven steps, properties can move away from expensive, reactive maintenance to a maintenance program with greater control, predictability, and effectiveness.
