Die maintenance and die repair are not the same. Nonetheless, many stamping companies lump together the cost of repair and maintenance to simplify reporting. This presentation discusses the difference between repair and maintenance and examines four primary maintenance programs: Reactive, Preventive, Predictive and Reliability Centered Maintenance. Attendees will learn how to distinguish between the cost of maintenance and the cost of repair, how to measure and report each properly, and to make a business case for a robust die maintenance program that reduces the cost of die repair.
