Abstract: | In order to achieve world-class performance, more and more companies are replacing their reactive, fire-fighting strategies for maintenance with proactive strategies like preventive and predictive maintenance and aggressive strategies like total productive maintenance (TPM). While these newer maintenance strategies require increased commitments to training, resources and integration, they also promise to improve performance. This paper reports the results of a study of the relationship between maintenance strategies and performance. Based on the responses from a survey of plant managers and maintenance managers, the analysis shows strong positive relationships between proactive and aggressive maintenance strategies and performance. |
