There’s
Always
Time
for
PM
!
L
ike money, once time is spent it’s gone! Once an hour, a minute, or a second is over,
it’s over forever. You can’t reclaim time, but you can redeem the remaining time.
At PS, we believe one of the best
forms of time redemption is using it to
do preventive maintenance.
NCOs, it is your duty to make
sure that the right amount of time
is allocated for each PM job so that
the task is not rushed through and
done poorly.
Mechanics and maintainers, it is
your duty to take every minute that is
necessary of that allocated time so that
the task is done thoroughly and right.
The age-old question, “If you can’t
Fnd the time to do the job right, how
are you going to Fnd the time to do
the job over?” should cross your mind
before you assign or begin a PM task.
Even if you Fnd the time to try again,
some PM jobs are life and death matters
and you might not get a second chance
for a “do over.”

Always
Time
