CONTROL OWNING AND OPERATING COSTS
Customer Personal Service (CPS) is part of John Deere’s proactive, fix-before-fail strategy on machine
maintenance that will help control costs, increase profits, and reduce stress. Included in this compre-
hensive lineup of ongoing programs and services are:
Fluid analysis program – tells you what’s going on inside all of your machine’s major compo-
nents so you’ll know if there’s a problem before you see a decline in performance. Fluid analysis is
included in most extended coverage and preventive-maintenance agreements.
Component life-cycle data – gives you vital information on the projected life span of compo-
nents and lets you make informed decisions on machine maintenance by telling you approximately
how many hours of use you can expect from an engine, transmission, or hydraulic pump. This infor-
mation can be used to preempt catastrophic downtime by servicing major components at about 80
percent of their life cycle.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) agreements – give you a fixed cost for maintaining a machine
for a given period of time. They also help you avoid downtime by ensuring that critical maintenance
work gets done right and on schedule. On-site preventive maintenance service performed where
and when you need it helps protect you from the expense of catastrophic failures and lets you avoid
waste-disposal hassles.
Extended coverage – gives you a fixed cost for machine repairs for a given period of time so
you can effectively manage costs. Whether you work in a severe-service setting or just want to spread
the risk of doing business, this is a great way to custom-fit coverage for your operation. And an
extended coverage contract also travels well because it’s backed by John Deere and is honored by
all Deere construction dealers.
Customer Support Advisors (CSAs) – Deere believes the CSA program lends a personal quality
to Customer Personal Service (CPS). Certified CSAs have the knowledge and skills for helping make
important decisions on machine maintenance and repair. Their mission is to help you implement a
plan that’s right for your business and take the burden of machine maintenance off your shoulders.
