Facing the Pressures of Cutting the Maintenance Budget, Paper360º July/August 2023

He got straight to the point. “Do you want to be the maintenance manager?” I swiftly answered, “Of course.” It didn’t take long before he told me to get the budget under control. I thought, It’s only in the second month of the budget year. How bad could it be? “Well,” he said. “Your predecessor failed to budget for five full-time maintenance craftspeople, and it looks like we don’t have enough money for services. As we all know, cutting the maintenance budget is a night-mare and can end your career as manager.”
