This book addresses issues and challenges of performance measurement in the maintenance function. It presents a proposal of indicators with a framework that classifies and sorts regarding functional and hierarchical aspects. The book has been developed with different aspects of traditional literature, i.e. several frameworks (or natural groupings) like BSC Balanced Scorecard, Multicriteria framework, Neely Prism and adaptation of these frameworks. Hierarchies for the use of indicators and benchmark values are provided to allow quantification, comparison and emission of recommendations.

To be able to compete successfully both at national and international levels, production systems and equipment must perform at levels not even thinkable a decade ago. Requirements for increased product quality, reduced throughput time and enhanced operating effectiveness within a rapidly changing customer demand environment continue to demand a high maintenance performance. In some cases, maintenance is required to increase operational effectiveness and revenues and customer satisfaction while reducing capital, operating and support costs. This may be the largest challenge facing production enterprises these days. For this, maintenance strategy is required to be aligned with the production logistics and also to keep updated with the current best practices. Maintenance has become a multidisciplinary activity and one may come across situations in which maintenance is the responsibility of people whose training is not engineering. This handbook aims to assist at different levels of understanding whether the manager is an engineer, a production manager, an experienced maintenance practitioner or a beginner. Topics selected to be included in this handbook cover a wide range of issues in the area of maintenance management and engineering to cater for all those interested in maintenance whether practitioners or researchers. This handbook is divided into 6 parts and contains 26 chapters covering a wide range of topics related to maintenance management and engineering.

Effective management of maintenance process is critical for economic viability and survival of any industry. An effective and efficient maintenance process is a must for industries to assure asset performance often measured in terms of high asset availability, level of safety and good quality, besides value addition. With this recognition, the measurement of maintenance performance has become an essential element of strategic thinking of asset owners and asset managers. In this book: Terms and concepts useful for maintenance performance management, performance measurement, indicators and metrics are discussed and defined. An analysis of factors influencing maintenance performance in industrial environment is presented. Issues and challenges associated with the maintenance performance measurement are identified, discussed and suggestions are made to deal with them. Identified relevant maintenance performance indicators for measuring performance at strategic and operational level. A general multi-criteria hierarchical framework for maintenance performance measurement applicable to a wide range of industries is developed.

As the old adage goes, what gets measured gets managed, but what are the most important maintenance measures? This is a question I have repeatedly been asked over the years along with "how do we measure it?" "what does it mean?" and of course, "what is the benchmark?" Establishing a baseline for success should be the first step whenever you set out to improve something. The same is true for maintenance measures and there is a wealth of performance indicators that can be used to measure and improve performance. The purpose of this book is to provided information on the plethora of measures which can be used. It is primarily written as a reference book detailing the information for each measure. It is by no means intended that an organisation should be using all of these measures (although some do!). Rather, it designed to inform you of the different options, how they might fit together and therefore allow you to make an informed choice about what you wish to measure in your business.This book is structured to provide an index of details for each of the measures deemed appropriate for measuring maintenance performance and how each should be measured. In particular, it details what the measures are (the calculations that sit behind them), what value they could be to your business, what you need to do well to get a good result, what the typical benchmarks are and finally how the measures interact with one another.

Energy Centered Maintenance proves a detailed description of how to implement Energy Centered Maintenance (ECM) at any organization. It includes a new six-step technical process with detailed instructions of each of these steps explained with clear examples. Areas covered include preventative maintenance, predictive maintenance and reliability centered maintenance. ECM uses energy consumption excesses or energy waste as the primary criterion for determining specific maintenance or repair needs. Therefore, the primary purpose of this book is to provide strategies to reduce energy use by identifying equipment or items that can become energy hogs while still performing their function and prevent that from occurring. The primary reasons organizations need ECM is due to poor maintenance of energy-using systems and energy losses from motors not turning off when they should. The book includes ECM for electrical, mechanical, building transportation, HVAC, fire-fighting, water supply, drainage and storm water management systems. In some cases, ECM in data centers can help reduce energy consumption by as much as 30%. The six-step process detailed in this text will enable any organization to implement ECM in an orderly, cost effective manner thus improving your equipment and machines, lowering your energy consumption and helping save the planet.
