Discover the Strategic Value of a Mespack Audit Program

Every minute of machine downtime costs more than lost output; it impacts your bottom line, customer satisfaction, and long-term efficiency. At Mespack, we offer more than standard audits. Our equipment audit visit is a high-value collaborative evaluation designed to enhance your production, reduce downtime, and extend the life of your assets.

What to Expect: Customized On-Site Expertise

Our experienced technicians conduct the audit directly at your facility. They analyze your machine’s condition, parameters, and performance in real production conditions. This, through our Status Machine Report, allows us to evaluate:

  • Equipment settings and usage patterns
  • Operating procedures
  • Wear and condition of critical components
  • Potential corrective maintenance needs
  • Safety compliance and energy efficiency

With this hands-on approach, we uncover hidden inefficiencies and risks that may not be evident in daily operations.

Expert Guidance: Not Just Inspection

An equipment audit with Mespack is not a routine check. It is a technical partnership. We work side-by-side with your maintenance team to:

  • Share knowledge
  • Recommend actionable improvements
  • Build a preventive strategy that delivers long-term reliability

After the visit, you will receive a Machine Status Report and a custom spare parts list, which will help you prioritize maintenance, avoid future issues, and efficiently plan spare part inventory.

The Key Benefits of a Mespack Audit

1. Reduce Unplanned Downtime by Up to 30%
Through a complete Machine Status Report, our technicians identify early indicators of wear, misalignment, or component fatigue. This allows you to shift from reactive to preventive maintenance — reducing unexpected production stops.

Industry data shows that unscheduled downtime accounts for 8–12% of production time. With insights from an audit, this can be reduced by up to 30%, resulting in 2.5–3.5% higher uptime annually.

2. Optimize Preventive Maintenance by Up to 20%
Our audits give you a real-time snapshot of machine condition, enabling you to align maintenance schedules with actual needs rather than default time intervals.

Condition-based maintenance can reduce unnecessary servicing by up to 25%, saving time, labor, and parts.

3. Improve OEE by Up to 3%
Subtle inefficiencies — such as micro-stops, sealing inconsistencies, or misaligned film tracking — often go unnoticed. Our audit helps identify and correct these, unlocking hidden performance.

For a stand-alone HFFS or VFFS machine producing 100 ppm, this could mean over 60,000 additional pouches per month.

4. Accelerate Troubleshooting by Up to 25%
A documented audit creates a technical baseline, making future diagnostics faster and more precise — whether remote or on-site.

With known weak points and updated condition records, troubleshooting time can be reduced by up to 25%.

5. Extend Equipment Life
By evaluating critical components and identifying early signs of wear, the audit enables you to implement targeted actions that prevent premature failure and extend the lifespan of your machine.

6. Improve Workplace Safety
Our technicians inspect for potential mechanical risks and verify that your machine complies with safety standards — helping you create a safer working environment.

7. Make Informed, Strategic Decisions
Every audit delivers actionable insights to help you plan upgrades, part replacements, or technological investments based on real data — not assumptions.

8. Benefit from Personalized, Expert Support
No two operations are the same. Our recommendations are tailored to your equipment’s exact setup, usage patterns, and production goals — giving you guidance that’s as specific as it is valuable.

What Our Customers Most Value

Clients relay to us the greatest benefit of an audit is peace of mind. Knowing that their equipment is stable, safe, and optimized translates into:

  • Greater productivity
  • Reduced downtime and costs
  • A more predictable, efficient, and safe working environment

Beyond the Audit: The Power of Follow-Up

We recognize that follow-through is just as important as the audit itself. For this reason, and to ensure that results are real and measurable, we recommend:

  • Short-term follow-up meetings to review immediate actions
  • Quarterly or biannual check-ins to track progress and offer continued support
