verybody loves talking about the latest fad in
clothing, shoes, and whatever makes people
look good. But it takes more than talking to
make you look sharp.
The same is true for PM. Talking PM is
great, but talk is cheap without a little action. If
you’re gonna talk the PM talk, you’ve gotta
walk the PM walk.
That means getting down and dirty—turning
wrenches, performing PMCS, doing daily
inspections, changing oil and filters or lubing
when your TM calls for it.
So how do you spend your time? Do you talk
about how good your equipment looks? Do you
put off maintenance because you think there’ll
be time to do it tomorrow? Do you treat PM
like a fad?
If so, start walking the PM walk now! Your
life depends on what you have
done
to keep
your equipment mission ready, not on what
you’ve talked about doing.
