Example 1.
Air conditioning
Coils should be cleaned once per year. Unless there is a specific external influence, there should not be callouts during the year for 'smells' etc. Compass highlights standard maintenance operations for various types of plant and 'unnecessary' visits by engineers can be highlighted through plant analysis. Compass also highlights where in the case of identical items of plant, one may be requiring more repairs / maintenance.
Typical cost saving per callout: €300.00

Do you know if your AC coils have been cleaned?
Were some dirtier than others and what was the explaination?

Example 2.
Air Handling Units
Standard maintenance contracts allow for 4 filter changes per year that may not be necessary if a unit is not used all year. Compass tracks filter changes and allows the question to be asked on the necessity.
Typical cost saving per callout: €65 / 80 (filters & PPM combined)
Dampers need to be well maintained during PPM. If a damper seizes (over time) costs are incurred through callouts and possible replacement. Compass gives the contractor the opportunity to note with a 'caution' any potential mechanical problems so action can be taken before the issue becomes critical. If the problem has not been noted, then the contractor is at fault.
Typical cost saving per callout: €100's
|
 |
Have you inspected the condition of the dirty filters that were removed?
Do your contractors recommend replacing dampers over making repairs, why?

|
Example 3.
Boilers
A combustion analysis should be carried out before and after the annual service. If the prior analysis shows 80% effeciancy and the later 93% efficiency then your boiler could be costing money in excessive fuel consumption. Compass will not only show if this is a trend but allows you to make a comparison if you have more than one of the same type boiler/burner combination.
Typical cost saving per boiler: €100's
|
 |
Do you get both a before and after service, combustion analysis report?
Have you analysed the fuel savings by comparing the efficiency levels?
|
|
Example 4.
Height Equipment
Compass allows a notation to be made against each plant item if height equipment is required. This way remedial work / PPM visits can be organised against this requirement.
Typical cost saving per height equipment hire: €300.00
|
 |
Are all your contractors certified to use height and other equipment?
|
|
Example 5.
Compass ensures each item of plant is not only serviced but is serviced according to the requirements of the client. Items of plant that are over looked or not properly serviced can lead to very expensive critical failures. A Compass Software solution could pay for itself many times over if it prevents just one critical failure.
Typical cost savings €1,000's

Has all you critical plant been identified?
