The value of preventive maintenance shows up in what does not happen: the procedure that is not cancelled, the loaner that is not needed, the overnight call that does not come. That makes it easy to underfund and expensive to have underfunded.
Work is performed to manufacturer specification and the applicable regulatory standard, and the record says which one was applied.
Preventive maintenance is the work you do so the repair call never happens. Inspection, cleaning, wear-part replacement and performance verification, on a schedule set by the manufacturer and the device's own history — done properly it converts unplanned downtime into planned downtime, which is the whole point.
A preventive maintenance programme is only as good as its completion rate. A schedule that is 70 percent complete is not a programme; it is a list of devices someone intended to look at, and inspectors read the gap rather than the intent.
Every visit produces documentation an inspector can read without a translator: what was done, to what standard, by whom, and when it is next due.
Technicians are qualified for the equipment they touch, and the qualification is on file rather than asserted.
Findings are reported plainly, including the ones that mean a device should be taken out of service.

Pricing is quoted against a defined scope, and a change to the scope is a conversation before it is an invoice line.
A complete equipment history changes capital planning from an argument into an evidence question. Departments that can show failure rates and repair spend per device get replacement budget; departments that cannot, do not.
There is no charge for the conversation that establishes whether you need this service at all.
