Maintenance Metrics and Performance

Maintenance Metrics and Performance Indices
The effectiveness of any system can only be assessed by measuring the effect it has on your maintenance performance. A before and after assessment is generally impossible since there will probably be no mechanism in place to measure maintenance performance before the system is installed. This makes it important to give some thought to the maintenance metrics, which you will be using in advance of the implementation. Immediately the system is installed these metrics can be used to track on-going progress. It must be emphasised that any metric should have a trigger level set at which point corrective action must take place. There is no point in producing a graph, which does not indicate what is acceptable performance.
