THE MECO EDGE

“Gary’s quote Our relationship with hu-mor and understating .... find the whole quote.” The greatest component of the MECO edge is training. For the past 15 years, MECO has established itself as the premier trainer of Costco Wholesale main-tenance personnel, training warehouses coast to coast. MECO sets up training seminars that give Costcos an opportunity to dramatically cut maintenance costs by training maintenance employees to main-tain warehouse food service equipment. Investing in Costco personnel with training seminars on a variety of equipment results in less down-time due to equipment failure. In addition preventive maintenance and trouble shooting equipment with in-house personnel reflect higher profit margins due to optimal operations.

A PERFECT MATCH - TRAINING AND SUPPORTMECO has established a toll-free sup-port line that is available 24 hours a days, 7 days a week. For just $250 per month a warehouse can place unlimited calls, gain-ing access to our fully-trained and highly experienced technicians that can help lead a MECO trained employee step by step to diagnose and resolve equipment issues. No longer is an expensive service call required by a technician who may be hours away (and charges for driving time) and arrives ill-equipped.

Bottom lineHow much will a warehouse save using MECO’s program?Documentation on MECO’s services (requested by Costco wholesale corporate) in the North West region, tracked labor and parts savings for 104 days in four newly trained warehous-es. The total labor savings for the four warehouses was docu-mented to be: $27,510.13. That’s an average documentation monthly savings of $2,010.9 per warehouse, or $24,131.88 per year.

gUaranteeD!

MECO provides instruction to personnel in:

• Safety – safe operation procedures, including lock-out tag-out and emergency/disaster re-start.

• Preventive Maintenance – performing visual inspections, lubrications and adjustments to keep problems at a minimum and equipment running at optimal levels.

• Trouble-Shooting – analyze and trouble-shoot problems and make repairs in a timely manner.

• Warranty Prevention – training of maintenance of new equipment still under warranty. For ware-houses with new or warranted equipment, it is important that through service program starts on day one, to prevent voiding the warranty due to lack of lubrication, adjustment or improper opera-tion. 24/7

coVerageWHO DO WE TRAIN?

We create that “right person” through the training and support contained in our program. Don’t be too concerned about thinking that you don’t have the “right per-son” to do the job, and therefore are not able to participate in our program. In most cases the most natural choice is the maintenance person(s). However, we’re also trained auxiliary managers. We’ve trained warehouse personnel who did not appear to be mechani-cally inclined who became valuable technicians!

Preventive maintenance on the fresh food equipment can be per-formed by any employee member with our training course. Really, anybody that can change the oil in a car or set a thermostat can do this job and it only takes about an hour a day to maintain equipment at operation standards.

WHaT DO WE TEaCH?

With our support program, comes access to MECO customer service/research team 24/7. MECO has developed strong alliances with over thirty manufacturers representing over fifty pieces of equipment found in Costco bakeries, meat department and food courts. MECO’s solid reputation with these compa-nies provides parts and supplies at the BEST price with rapid turn around times and deliv-ery tracking.

MECO has been training warehouse employees to do in-house preventative main-tenance of their fresh food equipment since 1993 rather than using expensive outside service/repair agencies. Expe-rienced technicians are avail-able 24/7 as additional support to walk employees step by step through troubleshooting and repair, saving the warehouse costly downtime. In addition our parts department research-es and finds the best possible price on replacements parts for all pieces of warehouse equip-ment at no markup.

WHY PAY MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO?Proper maintenance of equipment ensures the bakery, meat department and food courts are running at optimal operations maximizing profits. 24/7 support provides replacement parts at the lowest prices with no markups when needed to keep downtime at a minimum for being part of the MECO difference.

COSTS vs SAVINGSMECO parts department researches continuously from multiple sources to find the best price on replace-ments parts for all pieces of warehouse equipment at no markup for further opera-tional cost savings.

MECO Support helps prevent work related injury. No MECO trained person has ever been injured when doing repairs or performing maintenance as instruct-ed by MECO!

This results in less equipment down time, and saves your warehouse thousands of dollars each year.

Through this support line, MECO provides your newly-trained or experienced maintenance personnel with the helping hand that is so often needed. No longer will an expensive service call be required by a technician who may be hours away (and charges for drive time) and arrives ill-equipped. Rather, MECO provides a fully trained and highly experienced support technician who will solve any problem by walking a new or experienced MECO-trained technician, step by step, through any trouble they may encounter. As an added benefit, MECO has developed strong alliances with over thirty manufac-turers representing over fifty pieces of equipment found in Costco bakeries, meat departments and food courts.

1. WhO / WhAT IS MECO?MECO was formed in 1993 as a training / technical support / parts source company to warehouse operators. MECO trains warehouse employees to do all scheduled maintenance on warehouse equipment, rather than using outside service/repair agencies and is a source for any mechanical or electrical part and others, used by the warehouse facility. Our unique “no mark-up” policy on parts and toll free 24-hr. support line, saves warehouses an average of $4000 /mo. on maintenance and parts costs over using local service providers.

2. WHAT IS MECO’S SAFETY RECORD?MECO is proud of its 100% accident-free record. No MECO-trained person has been injured when doing repairs or performing main-tenance as instructed by MECO!3. WhO DO WE TRAIN?In most cases the maintenance person is the first choice. however, any person with basic understanding of mechanical and electrical equipment and a desire to learn would be a good choice. We’ve trained Costco personnel who did not appear to be mechanically inclined who have become great technicians! Each enrolled warehouse may send as many as two employees-it’s always wise to have a back-up technician to cover during time off, lay offs and sick days!

4. WhAT DO WE TEACh? MECO provides instruction of your personnel in the following:• How to perform visual inspections and periodic lubrications to keep problems at a minimum.• The ability to analyze & trouble-shoot problems and make repairs in a timely manner.• Total hands-on servicing of warehouse equipment including vital oil changes and “Tricks of the Trade”.• A clear understanding of the monitoring and repair of machines, safety switches, latches, cables, and controls.• How to maintain a written log and reports on servicing, maintenance and repairs. This gives management a clear understand-ing of the condition of each piece of equipment and provides a cost breakdown for parts and man hours which reveal the benefits and savings of our program.• The “Do’s & Don’ts” are carefully explained for the maintenance of new equipment still under warranty. For warehouses with equipment covered under a warranty, it is important that a thorough service program begins as soon as the equipment is purchased. This maximizes the life of the equipment, and prevents a VOID OF WARRANTY due to lack of lubrication. Owner’s required mainte-nance is listed in all operators manuals.• This training seminar explains the repairs that can be done without jeopardizing the warranties thereby eliminating service calls that can result in needless warehouse expenses.• All trainees are instructed on the use of the toll-free technical support line**, providing support for service, parts and ongoing training through one on one technical coaching.
