Many a times, the effort put in a maintenance (trouble shooting) activity is considerably varied in each instance even for similar faults.

There should be a monthly activity report ( MAR) for maintenance tasks performed based on which you build your anual statistical accumulated report ( AAR ) then comparisons should be made accordingly.

Followings are KPI's for maintenance activities. These are not fixed, and these can be modified according to one's own needs;

Response Time

Mean time between Failures

Mean time of Repair

Ratio of breakdown time to PM

Cost of repair

I measure it by comparing the costs between Planned Preventive Maintenance cost and Breakdown Maintenance cost .. the cost of (PPM) should be more than60% from the total cost of maintenance.

Productivity in maintenance is not only measured by how many work or troubleshooting we have accomplished, it is being measured when the equipment or machine being maintained meets or exceeded its life expectancies. When the interval of machine/equipment shut-down become less and the budget for the repair and maintenance becomes minimal, the company saves for it, then your maintenance activities is not only productive but it is EXCELLENT & SUPERB!
