WHAT IS A CAT® CUSTOMER VALUE AGREEMENT (CVA)?
A Cat CVA is a tailored plan that helps you manage the lifecycle of your mining equipment. These plans allow you to prepare for maintenance and achieve lower, more predictable costs through improved inventory management and strategic parts replacements. This helps reduce costly downtime and improve productivity while ensuring site safety.
WHAT A HOSES & COUPLINGS CVA OFFERS
With a Cat Hoses and Couplings CVA, you can pick a plan that meets the specific needs of your site. Whether you rely on your own crew to install replacement parts or leave that to a Cat technician, you can customize the plan for your unique needs. Three service-level agreement options are available for hoses and couplings CVAs:
Convenience: With this parts-focused plan, your Cat dealer provides the parts, supplies, inventory management and tooling options. Your crew will assemble and install the parts.
Performance: The performance plan adds another layer of service to lessen your crew’s workload. Your Cat dealer will assemble hoses and couplings as needed and can also facilitate on-site inspections.
Confidence: The confidence plan is a full-service, on-site solution. With this plan, you’ll receive complete hose assembly, inspections, installation and inventory management.
HOSES & COUPLINGS CVA IN ACTION
Hydraulic systems rely on hoses and couplings. A simple failure can lead to costly equipment downtime. When you need a hose replacement, you might have to wait for a new part to arrive, putting machinery out of operation. But a CVA ensures parts availability and quick turnaround.
As one Cat customer in Brazil said, "Hoses and hydraulic couplings are fundamental parts for us. They make sure the (fluids) flow like the blood of our operation and need to be well taken care of.”
With a Cat Hoses and Couplings CVA, a Cat dealer can visit your mine site to check inventory levels and inspect equipment conditions. If you’re running low on hoses and couplings, your Cat dealer will deliver new parts. And preventive changes identified in these inspections will help keep your people and equipment safe.
Through a full-maintenance management program, your Cat dealer will identify the ideal time for hose and coupling replacement, cycling machines through maintenance at scheduled intervals. This reduces downtime and allows your mining site to operate more efficiently.
