Weston: There have been too many unplanned shutdowns over the past few months. We'll have to make a few changes to the way we operate. We need to reduce our downtime.
Vinod: I agree, but the maintenance team is fully stretched dealing with problems. We don't have time to carry out any preventive maintenance.
Weston: We need to establish routine maintenance procedures. It costs us too much in lost production if we wait until something breaks down before we fix it.
Weston proposes to build maintenance procedures to reduce lost production during downtime.
