Optimizing Manpower Needs for Predictive Maintenance through Technology Experts

Question:

I am currently in the process of developing a business plan that outlines the need for hiring experts in vibration, infrared (IR), and ultrasound technologies. I am seeking guidance on the specific metrics that should be included in this plan to make a strong case for these hires. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly valued.

In order to receive helpful responses, it is important to provide more details such as equipment type, condition, and age. Additional information will invite input from those with experience in similar programs. Interestingly, I am preparing to submit an application for the Lockheed F23 program tonight.

Looking for a variety of air handlers, pumps, chillers, and boilers in different sizes and shapes? Look no further! Our 50-year-old plant, specialized as an aerospace contractor, faces challenges in navigating through various areas and requires thorough risk mitigation strategies just to access certain zones. Can anyone point me in the direction of the f-23 problems site? Your prompt response is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The number of machine inspections, the time allocated per inspection, and the frequency of inspections determine the manpower needed. In my experience, I found it difficult to hire trained personnel capable of performing various types of inspections. Initially, I hired one person for every 100 machine inspections, and would increase the team size as necessary. I eventually settled on a vibration analysis technician, whom I later sent to school for thermography training. However, he left for a better-paying job after five months. Employees with multiple qualifications are in high demand and may switch jobs more frequently.

I appreciate your insightful response, which provides me with a reference point that goes beyond my own beliefs. Thank you, Jeff.
