Strategic planning for maintenance is worthwhile when objectives, roles, key performance indicators, or decision-making logic are not clearly defined, and maintenance operations are predominantly reactive rather than proactive.

Typical symptoms include:

  • High proportion of unplanned assignments
  • Lack of transparency regarding costs and risks
  • Inconsistent processes across plants
  • Difficulty in planning budgets and resources
  • Unclear Contribution of Maintenance to Corporate Success
