Machinery and equipment are one of the most crucial and effective resources for a construction company and a prerequisite for timely completion of all construction projects. Machinery and equipment are one of the most capital intensive long term investments that a construction company makes. Expenses related to machinery and equipment have a major impact on the company’s balance sheet shows profits or losses and in what quantity.
In the early years, due to the considerable number of the machinery and equipment, and according to the above mentioned, we decided to establish a specialized machinery and equipment department for managing the company’s growing fleet.
In order to effectively manage and ensure maximum benefits with minimal expenses and provide the highest quality services, the department considers the following items:
1. The choice of machinery and equipment and the required number of each equipment for a certain project or projects.
2. For each project, which choice is more logical and beneficial? Owning, renting, or leasing machinery and equipment.
3. Planning which machinery and equipment will be working on which job site at what time and for how long.
4. Considering the transportation and operating costs when dealing with multiple projects and their timelines.
5. Preventive maintenance of the machinery and equipment which can help to save a lot of down time and costs and reduce delays in projects.
This department continuously evaluates and inspects the fleet to determine whether:
– New machinery and equipment need to be added to the fleet.
– Equipment or any of its parts need to be replaced.
– If and when underutilized or damaged machinery and equipment need to be discarded or sold and at what cost.
Throughout the duration of the project, the central department monitors machinery and equipment performance and availability through visiting and inspecting by its resident experts. The machinery and equipment department’s personnel are experienced, skilled, and highly qualified. This department utilizes state-of-the-art IT technologies to gather, analyze, and process information to achieve the most accurate results and the best performance.
It is worth mentioning that the plants management of ARP also has a separate department that is responsible for providing all services about the plants of this company.
Abad Rahan Pars International Group currently has an extensive and versatile fleet of equipment with over 2,000 machinery and equipment. Due to the development of ARP International Group and increase in number, size, and variety of the projects, the number and type of the plants, machinery and equipment are increasing every year.
