In business, every cent counts toward a company’s bottom line. This is especially true when the business in question relies on the use of heavy machinery. Every cent that is not spent on repairing equipment is another cent that can go toward profit. The potential for generating revenue increases exponentially when heavy equipment can be kept running longer and is more resilient, avoiding the need for offline maintenance. Of course, managers have to consider which maintenance costs are worthwhile. After all, spending money on aging equipment that may suddenly break down is unlikely to pay off. But cutting corners on some resources can hurt a company’s bottom line more than it can help. One example of such a dilemma is choosing between a multigrade viscosity hydraulic fluid versus a lower-quality and less expensive alternative. While it may sound cliché, the evidence is clear: you get what you pay for.
