Some consider modular design as something for facilitating manufacturing, repair, and maintenance while others think that it only raises the cost for a product – without offering similar benefits. However, it all comes down to the viewer’s perspective. What is regarded merely as an unnecessary cost to one stakeholder could be a definitive advantage to another stakeholder.

Although not as critical as these scenarios, the same does hold true when talking about keeping accurate records of your Onspot chain system.

During this time of the year there is also a focus by many towns and cities to start spring maintenance on their equipment and vehicles.
