AIP Added Value Programme

Because Efficiency is Everything, Improvement Pays

AIP is NSK's powerful and practical sales toolkit, consisting of a menu of NSK engineering and service solutions designed to deliver added value to end user customers by improving their machine reliability, technical knowledge and overall profitability as a result of reducing their total cost of ownership.

With AIP, NSK helps you to make your customers' operations and maintenance processes more efficient and therefore more profitable, saving them money at every step of the process, enabling them to remain market competitive in their respective industries.

The programme comprises five clear steps which are called the Value Cycle:

Step 1 – Evaluation:

We make site visits to gather data and understand the customers' challenges.

Step 2 – Recommendation:

We use our learning, knowledge and experience to create a solution, including anticipated savings for the customer.

Step 3 – Implementation:

We can assist, if required, with the installation, and testing of our recommended solution and, if appropriate, we can also refine it for improved operation.

Step 4 – Validation:

We monitor performance to ensure the anticipated results are being delivered.

Step 5 – Extension:

We collate data, share learning and look to expand the service to new applications.
