The goal of this study was to develop a crane and heavy equipment maintenance plan for improving safety and efficiency. XYZ Construction does not have a systematic method of maintaining its cranes and heavy equipment. Their approach to equipment maintenance could be creating risks to workers and property. This company realizes the potential for loss and believes improving their maintenance plan will help mitigate this problem. In order to accomplish this, the paper used three steps to develop a maintenance plan for XYZ Construction, as follows: 1. Evaluated current maintenance practices used by XYZ Construction for deficiencies. 2. Evaluated currently available maintenance systems applicable to XYZ Construction’s needs through a review of maintenance systems and journal articles. 3. Developed the best plan suited for the corporate structure of XYZ Construction. This plan is designed to add value to maintenance procedures and reduce the risks and exposures to loss the company is currently experiencing. Therefore, not only is the need improved maintenance performance addressed, but worker and property exposures are controlled as well.
