How maintenance is organised in practice: what gets planned, what gets recorded and what can be proven afterwards.

Our articles are being translated. Until a translation is approved we would rather publish nothing than publish it machine-translated: a badly translated page costs more than it adds.

What we write about

The blog is not a product catalogue. It covers how maintenance is actually organised, in four groups. The links go to the Spanish originals, which is where the articles live today.

  • Planning and preventive maintenance.How a preventive plan is built, the three ways of triggering it —by time, by meter reading and by condition— and the six reasons a plan ends up on paper instead of being executed. A plan that lives only in a calendar does not protest when it is skipped; what sustains it is that it produces work orders with an owner and a date.Building a preventive plan → (in Spanish)
  • Recording the work.What a work order needs to contain, why the record has to happen where the work happens, and what makes it valid as evidence when a claim or an inspection arrives. A valid record has four things: a date, an identified author, what was actually checked with its measured values, and a signature where the process calls for one. None of that can be produced afterwards.Recording maintenance work → (in Spanish)
  • Cost and decisions.How to work out what each asset really costs, which maintenance contracts make money, and when to stop repairing and replace. Most companies know what they spend on maintenance; very few know what they spend it on, and that difference is what separates a budget you can defend from one you can only justify.Maintenance cost control → (in Spanish)
  • Sectors.What changes in industry, retail, hospitality, healthcare, buildings, fleets and facility management — and what stays the same everywhere. What changes is what counts as urgent, who needs to be told and what has to be proven. What does not change is that the record has to happen in the field, that spare parts are part of the plan, and that history is what lets you decide.Which sectors a CMMS suits → (in Spanish)
