How to use this result

Use this result to establish a planned reserve and compare service agreements with pay-as-needed maintenance.

Scheduled service

Bay count, visit frequency and per-visit allowance create the planned-service line.

Repair reserve

A reserve helps keep occasional parts and corrective work from becoming an unplanned capital request.

Important: Follow each manufacturer’s maintenance instructions and applicable inspection requirements; do not delay control of known defects.
