Greetings everyone, I am interested in learning about the KPIs that can be used to gauge the effectiveness of preventive maintenance activities. Thank you in advance for your responses. Heposlamos.

Steve, here is a summary of the services provided: scheduled services completed, compliance with regulations ensured, abnormal conditions detected and corrected at both preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance stations, and pending abnormal conditions to be addressed. Additionally, a total of work order requests were submitted. Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you for your input, Heposlamos. I find your list to be quite practical. In my opinion, the key lies not in what data is collected, but in the reasons behind it. It is essential for performance measures to align with the desired behaviors. I noticed a lack of KPIs related to availability, utilization, and reliability. While I assume these metrics are being collected, they were not included in the list for some reason. The primary goal of the plant is to ensure efficient transportation of goods, which is facilitated by high availability and utilization. When assessing utilization, it is crucial to identify different types of losses, such as those due to preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and expected failures. Additionally, it is important to distinguish between losses that could have been prevented through proper maintenance practices. In a few days, I will be presenting an iPresentation on ReliabilityWeb.com to delve deeper into these systems. I will share the link on this forum once it is ready for viewing. On a related note, I observed that you are tracking scheduled services and executed services. It is imperative not to blindly follow vendor-recommended schedules for all equipment, as they are often overly conservative. Achieving 100% compliance with such schedules can result in unnecessary time and money wastage. To determine the optimal maintenance approach, a detailed analysis is required to distinguish between conservative and accurate recommendations. I hope this information proves useful.

Hello Steeve, I wanted to let you know that the KPIs you mentioned are already in use within my department. These include MTTF, MTBF, MKBF (mean kilometer between failures), MTTR, availability, failure ratio, and utilization. However, I am unsure about how to specifically measure PM performance, as these metrics typically relate to CM and planning rather than PM alone. A friend suggested calculating the non-conformity ratio on the PM checklist to gauge PM performance. Can you confirm if this method is accurate? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I am grateful for the input from Rolly12, Josh, Ricky Smith, Ozgipsy, Terrence O'Hanlon, and Steve answer. Thank you in advance for your contributions.
Hi Heposlamos, great question! One key KPI to consider is the Planned Maintenance Percentage, which identifies the ratio of your planned to unplanned maintenance activities. This helps gauge the effectiveness of your preventive maintenance actions. Also, consider tracking the Maintenance Downtime as a KPI - the lower the downtime, the more effective preventive measures are. Finally, don't forget the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) - an increase in the MTBF metric signifies more effective preventive maintenance. Hope this helps!
Hello Heposlamos, a couple of important KPIs to look at could be: Equipment uptime/downtime, which measures the amount of time a piece of equipment is operating as opposed to being down for maintenance and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), indicating the average time between equipment breakdowns or failures. If the MTBF increases over time, your preventive maintenance program is likely successful. Equipment lifespan is another important one as effective preventive maintenance should extend the useful life of your equipment. But remember, tailoring your KPIs to your specific needs and industry is important for an accurate reflection.
Hello Heposlamos, one important preventive maintenance KPI is the "Preventive Maintenance Compliance" which measures the percentage of preventive tasks performed on schedule. You can also consider KPI's such as 'Downtime Frequency', showing how often equipment fails, 'Asset Utilization', measuring how effectively your equipment is being used, and 'Maintenance Costs' which can track your spending. Ensuring a combination of KPI's helps monitor the effectiveness comprehensively.
Hi Heposlamos! Great topic! Some key KPIs to consider for evaluating preventive maintenance include equipment uptime, mean time between failures (MTBF), and work order completion rates. You might also look at maintenance costs relative to production output and even employee feedback on equipment performance. Tracking these metrics can really help assess how well your preventive strategies are working and pinpoint areas for improvement. Hope that helps!

Answer: - Common KPIs for assessing preventive maintenance effectiveness in mining fleets include fleet uptime percentage, mean time between failures (MTBF), maintenance cost per unit, equipment availability, and planned vs. unplanned maintenance ratio.
Answer: - Fleet uptime percentage is calculated by dividing the total operating time by the total scheduled time. It is an important KPI as it reflects the reliability and availability of mining fleet equipment after preventive maintenance activities.
Answer: - MTBF is a crucial KPI that indicates the average time elapsed between equipment failures. A higher MTBF value suggests better reliability and efficiency of preventive maintenance practices in mining fleets.
Answer: - Tracking maintenance cost per unit assists in evaluating the cost-effectiveness of preventive maintenance activities. A decrease in this KPI over time indicates improved maintenance efficiency and reduced operational expenses.
Answer: - The planned vs. unplanned maintenance ratio helps in understanding the proportion of maintenance activities that were scheduled (preventive
