Maintenance Stats
- Maintenance costs are estimated to range between 15% and 40% of total production costs (Dunn, 1987; Lofsten, 2000).
- Eighty-eight percent of industrial facilities follow a preventive maintenance strategy; 52% have a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and 51% use a run-to-failure method.(Plantengineering.com, 2020)
- Running a piece of equipment to the point of failure could cost up to 10 times as much as a regular maintenance program would (Buildings.com, 2018).
- Companies can save between 12% and 18% by using preventive maintenance over reactive, and each dollar spent on maintenance saves an average of $5 later on.
These statistics show just how important maintenance strategies are in terms of improving operational reliability, no matter how well you’re doing in comparison with the industry overall.
Preventive Maintenance
There are two types of maintenance, Reactive and Preventive. Reactive maintenance is done when something breaks down unexpectedly. This is the type of maintenance you don’t want to find your team performing, as this would mean downtime and often, higher costs. Preventive maintenance, on the other hand, involves the careful planning and scheduling of inspections and safety checks to ensure that downtimes and the need for reactive maintenance are minimized.
Your maintenance management plan should include regular pre-schedules preventive maintenance for all your equipments. Whether you base these on milage or hours or usage, keeping up with maintenance tasks is best way to avoid downtime.
