Optimizing PM Strategy

Balance costs against reliability — too little PM leads to breakdowns, too much wastes resources.

Key Metrics

• PM Completion Rate — % on time
• PM-to-Corrective Ratio — Target 80:20
• MTBF — Higher is better
• PM Cost vs Breakdown Cost
• Schedule Adherence

Optimization Tips

• Start with manufacturer intervals, adjust based on data
• Review quarterly — extend intervals if inspections always pass
• Focus on critical production assets
• Use meter-based triggers when usage varies
• Track which PM tasks actually prevent failures
