Economic Downturn: Is maintenance part of the problem or the solution?
This is a historic time to be in a carreer in maintenance! With commodity prices dropping and production costs rising, maintenance expense is a great target area to help your company, and those with ideas on how to save money are in demand.
Managers are making very personal decisions lately, like what can they do to avoid having to lay people off? Two Dingo customers recently shared their tough choices with us, one in Kentucky, one in Queensland, both in mining.

What are you seeing in your workplace? Is maintenance being viewed as part of the solution or part of the problem?
