Maintenance Resources - Percentage Maintenance

Maintenance Resources - Percentage Maintenance

Maintenance Resources - Percentage Maintenance

(OP)
Can someone provide me with some benchmarking data?

I am looking a the amount of time spent on reactive maintenance in a port. There are various pieces of equipment under the responsibility of the mainteance dept. in the port - linkspans, passenger walkways, cranes, hydraulic marina gates, navigational aids, LPG import facilities etc..
Does anyone have any data for the percentage of time spent on training, reactive maintenance and preventative maintenance?  It does not have to be for a port.

I have a feeling that the "norm" is around 10% reactive and 1% training.

RE: Maintenance Resources - Percentage Maintenance

Cookie6,

First you have to define what is reactive maintenance, and how you will distinguish it from the entire workorder bunch. I assume that you have a CMMS/EAM.

What is your definition of preventative maintenance?

If settled on the whats we can pull them out of the CMMS, with all the necessary (time)data.

Training, is it also embedded in the CMMS/EAM?
HRM training, supervisory training, craftsman training, toolbox meetings etc..  I could intuitively relate a training in belt alignment to improvement somewhere in the system, but 10 hours of "crap training" cannot outrate "1 hour of good instruction"

I use planned x reactive as a measure, but what works for me does not necessarily suits your needs. The "one size fits all" does not work in most systems/process

I suggest the book:
Developing Performance Indicators for Managing Maintenance from Terry Wireman
The same author has also a title on benchmarking

regards
