A structured methodology for identifying performance metrics and monitoring maintenance effectiveness

Most current maintenance programs focus on achieving the main goals of maintenance operations: increasing mean time between failures, reducing time to repair and minimizing costs. Some researchers have focused on optimizing these variables. Detailed analyses have been conducted in the fields of equipment wellness, spares administration, planned maintenance and structured organization. Still, many organizations fail to fulfil today´s ambitious objective of guaranteeing operations while achieving high reliability and maintaining safety. A comprehensive method of maintenance assessment that considers key factors and indicators that influence the main goals of maintenance is still sought after
