The electronic MCP (eMCP) is a new way to survey, manage and create a Maintenance Control Program for all units under your control. Using a web-based maintenance management system, data such as age, use and environment is gathered from your specific unit and analyzed to automatically generate an annual MCP.
This MCP then gives you the information you need to know, such as what maintenance procedures are needed for that unit’s specific components, and the estimated minimum time required to do them. Visit elevatorbooks.com for more information.
