Hello
It's my first post so hello to all.........
As per title, I'd like your thoughts and opinions please. With cost cutting being the order of the day, we're debating whether it would be better to bring the servicing of our anaesthetic machines back in house or leave them on a service contract. If we update the machines in the near future, we will standardise on one make, so we'll have a fleet of about 50 machines across the Trust. These are our thoughts so far......
Pro's
Cost cutting
In house expertise for 24 hours cover
PM when we need them done not when the company wants to come in
Con's
Liability if anything goes wrong
Will we have enough work to keep the engineers busy and their knowledge fresh?
Your thoughts please
Thanks
Jim
