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 comprehensive lineup of ongoing programs, and services are:
Fluid analysis program—tells you what’s going on inside all of your machine’s major
components 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
components 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 information 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 oper-
ation. 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 mainte-
nance off your shoulders.
