In this episode, Martin Engster sits down with Nathan Santiago, Facilities Engineer at C&H/New Holland, to discuss what it really takes to keep a large manufacturing campus operating efficiently. Nathan shares how preventive maintenance goes far beyond simply following OEM schedules. He explains how maintenance teams adapt service intervals for equipment that runs around the clock, organize specialized tools and spare parts at critical machines, and work closely with production teams to minimize downtime. The conversation also explores the growing role of predictive maintenance. Nathan discusses how sensors and cycle-count monitoring are helping manufacturers identify failing components before they create costly production interruptions. Beyond equipment maintenance, Nathan shares real-world examples of solving operational challenges. From eliminating hundreds of hours of laser downtime through a simple logistics improvement to responding quickly after severe roof leaks threatened production, he demonstrates how thoughtful problem-solving and teamwork can dramatically improve manufacturing performance. Whether you're involved in maintenance, facilities engineering, operations, or manufacturing leadership, this episode offers practical insights into reducing downtime, improving reliability, and supporting production through better planning. ------------------------- Are you responsible for keeping machines running and production on track?
