Modern industries demand maintenance teams to focus on minimizing disruptions, controlling expenses, and extending equipment life. When a critical piece of equipment fails, it’s easy for teams to adopt an "all-hands-on-deck" approach to get operations back on track. But without clearly defined performance metrics, it’s difficult to know if your processes are improving or if you’re stuck in a constant cycle of reactive maintenance.
Identifying and tracking the right KPIs is essential for understanding the effectiveness of your maintenance strategies. Whether you’re a small startup or a large manufacturer, these metrics provide the insights needed to make informed decisions and drive long-term success.
Top Maintenance KPIs to Track
Below are essential maintenance KPIs that can help you monitor performance and achieve operational excellence. Start by focusing on 3–5 metrics to ensure clarity and actionable results.
1. Equipment Downtime
Unplanned downtime is a costly disruption. Analyze how often emergency breakdowns occur and measure equipment availability for its intended tasks. Aim for less than 10% unscheduled downtime and over 90% equipment availability.
2. Maintenance Backlog
A healthy backlog represents about two weeks' worth of work per technician. A minimal backlog might indicate overstaffing, while a large one could signal a shortage of resources. OXmaint helps balance workloads and track technician performance with ease.
3. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
MTBF measures the average time between equipment failures. Use accurate data from OXmaint to monitor asset reliability and reduce failure rates through continuous monitoring and preventive maintenance programs.
4. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
MTTR tracks the time needed to diagnose and repair equipment. Shortening MTTR can significantly improve efficiency. Use OXmaint’s mobile tools to streamline response times and simplify work order management.
5. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
OEE evaluates equipment availability, performance, and quality. Aim for a benchmark of 77% or higher. Leverage OXmaint’s analytics to identify and address inefficiencies.
6. Planned Maintenance Percentage (PMP)
PMP tracks the ratio of planned maintenance to total maintenance hours. A PMP of 85% or higher indicates a proactive approach. With OXmaint, schedule and monitor preventive tasks efficiently to minimize unplanned downtime.
7. Maintenance Cost as a Percentage of Replacement Asset Value (RAV)
This KPI compares maintenance costs to the replacement value of assets. World-class organizations aim for around 1%. Use OXmaint to track costs and identify areas for savings.
8. Schedule Compliance
Measure the percentage of scheduled work orders completed on time. Aim for at least 90% compliance. OXmaint ensures real-time tracking and team collaboration to meet deadlines.
