Case Study: Spartan ERV achieves 4× increase in planned maintenance (20% → 80%) with eMaint

Spartan ERV Increased Planned Maintenance from 20% to 80% with Improved Turnaround and On-Time Completion Rates

Spartan ERV, a leading manufacturer of custom fire and rescue vehicles operating a 75,000 sq ft production facility, struggled with an inefficient homegrown maintenance system that left 80% of work unplanned. The team needed a solution to prioritize work, streamline processes, retain legacy data, and meet safety, environmental and production standards within a lean manufacturing environment.

By implementing the web-based eMaint CMMS and importing existing asset data, Spartan ERV automated PMs by calendar, usage and mileage, and centralized requests and work orders. The result: planned maintenance rose from 20% to 80%, work turnaround improved 33%, on-time PM completion reached 85%, a single technician now maintains the facility, and the company improved regulatory tracking while progressing toward ISO 9000.
