Enhancing Maintenance Efficiency in Machine Repair Problems to Increase Productivity Gain and Low Maintenance Costs

Abstract

Maintenance efficiency is a critical factor for businesses of all sizes. By implementing best practices, businesses can improve their maintenance efficiency and achieve significant cost savings and productivity gains. This study identified the key factors that impact maintenance efficiency. The study identified the key factors that contribute to maintenance efficiency are preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, condition-based monitoring, reliability-centered maintenance, proper planning and scheduling, use of skilled and experienced personnel, use of the right tools and equipment, and use of a maintenance management system. The study also found that the cost savings and productivity gains that can be achieved by improving maintenance efficiency are significant. Businesses that are in the top 25% of maintenance efficiency can save an average of 20% on maintenance costs and achieve an average of 15% productivity gain. Businesses that are in the bottom 25% of maintenance efficiency can save an average of 10% on maintenance costs and achieve an average of 5% productivity gain.
