Job Picture

Growth and decay are fundamental realities. All living things perform something unique to their species. When they are dead, they all undergo the same process of decomposition into their fundamental molecular components. These components no longer perform tasks related to the living organism. Nature is responsible for life and renewal in each species as well as the process of decomposition.

Maintenance needs to be the life force behind our plant and equipments'''''''' specific physical existence with the aim of giving it renewal and sustainability, whether from wear and tear or damage.

Effectiveness will be measured using Plant availability.
