Maximize Plant Uptime with ATS’s Expert Third‑Party Maintenance Solutions

Effective management of in‑house industrial maintenance remains one of the most demanding challenges in manufacturing. Maximizing equipment uptime requires expertise, efficiency, and experience—qualities increasingly scarce in today’s competitive talent pool.

ATS delivers a third‑party maintenance solution that addresses these gaps. Our Technical Workforce Solution is a proven alternative to traditional staffing or in‑house recruiting, built on decades of best‑practice experience and tailored to your operations, needs, and objectives. The result? Reduced downtime, lower staffing costs, and higher productivity.

What Is Third‑Party Maintenance?

A third‑party provider assumes responsibility for recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and training, freeing you to focus on core manufacturing excellence. We supply multi‑craft technicians, technical supervisors, and strategic maintenance expertise.

Key benefits from a partner like ATS include:

• Comprehensive maintenance tasks: From preventive to predictive maintenance, our technicians develop and adhere to schedules that keep your equipment running smoothly and extend its life.
• Strategic development: We collaborate to craft a maintenance plan that aligns with your specific equipment, facility layout, and production goals.
• Top‑tier talent: Our workforce is technically skilled, safety‑compliant, and dedicated to maintaining production equipment at peak performance.
• Reliability focus: We deliver measurable, sustainable results that help you meet operational targets and create lasting business impact.

Benefits of Third‑Party Maintenance

• Increased uptime: A dedicated team ensures preventive schedules are followed and repairs are performed promptly, while predictive strategies further reduce unplanned downtime.
• Access to talent: Recruit faster and with confidence. Our extensive network and internal training program give you ready‑to‑work technicians, regardless of location or specialty.
• Technical training: SkillPoint™ offers tailored industrial machine‑repair courses—CNC/PLC, electronics, mechanics, robotics, and more—to match your operational needs.
• Safety excellence: Beyond industry‑leading OSHA compliance, our Beyond Zero culture drives best‑in‑class safety practices that protect people and equipment.
• Extended equipment life: Proactive maintenance prevents cascading failures, increases mean time to failure (MTTF), and reduces replacement costs.
• Quality improvements: Well‑maintained equipment performs consistently, reducing rework, scrap, and production time while boosting overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
