4:20 PM Working to Decrease Maintenance Backlog through a Mixed Mode of Delivery

Decreasing an outstanding maintenance backlog is a hard task when just looking in-house for a solution.

This session will review:
  • Reducing the overall costs by identifying outsourcing partners
  • Ensuring the high level of maintenance performance standard is sustained
  • Identifying which maintenance jobs should be conducted in-house
  • Using this mixed mode to target backlog liabilities and reduced risk
