Baldwin, NY (PRWEB) April 17, 2006 -- CAE Consultants Inc. has developed a new application aimed at small businesses that will help them improve their bottom line and improve operations through better maintenance. Easy Maintenance 7 for plants was released this week.

Any kind of business can benefit from this program, from a small printing house to a small plant in a facility. Before Easy Maintenance 7, businesses were forced to invest thousands in expensive software and training. But EM7 provides a powerful application based on FileMaker 8 that leverages all the resources available at the business to improve their bottom line by optimizing your maitenance program.

The proprietary method used by EPM7 allows the user to improve mantenance with each cycle based on historical information. The cost of downtime can be devastating to some busineses. If a business is always reacting to maintenance problems and repairing broken equipment, they can save time and money by predicting when a breakdown might happen and maintaining the equipment before something happens.

If you own a car, you know how important regular oil changes are to protect your investment. But if you own a business, regular maintenance of everything from your machinery, to, computers, your boilers, copiers, fleet of cars, facilities must be done on a schedule to keep things running and you don't have time to fuss with expensive programs that require training. The program can even schedule your submissions to EPA and other agencies, so you are never late with your required documents.

The least expensive way to transition from reactive to predictive maintenance is to issue regular work orders to perform preventative maintenance based on recommended manufacturer's frequencies. But, this does not guarantee success. Some equipment may wear out earlier than anticipated and you need to record that to improve your predictability. Or, some equipment is not run on a 24 x 7 basis, and you need to adjust your maintenance frequencies. This program takes care of all that so that you optimize your maintenance schedule to minimize downtime and lengthen the operating life of your equipment while minimizing the effort spent on maintenance activities.

Overall, implementing a well-managed maintenance program will improve your bottom line significantly. But, in addition to improving you bottom line, small businesses need to worry about certifications, audits, inspections by OSHA and other agencies.

Nothing impresses an inspector more than a well-documented maintenance system. With Easy Maintenance 7 has the power to store photos, digital video, documents, and more, all neatly organized.

Better yet, Easy Maintenance can is the only "transportable" maintenance system. Simply put the whole folder into a flash card and you don't need to carry your computer with you, your maintenance program fits in your pocket. For larger installations, the powerful FileMaker engine allows users to share this program on the LAN and on the Internet, to create a truly paperless maintenance system.
