Self Induced Failures vs. Precision Maintenance
From a recent Blog post at the Association for Maintenance Professionals
What bothers me is that I once heard that 70% of equipment failures were self induced. I could believe those number so I conducted a study with over 300 maintenance managers and supervisors and they stated it was 80-85%. That is why I ask the question about “precision maintenance”. Let’s just say, if a repair or rebuild is not completed to a standard or specification the piece of equipment may fail before the next PM cycle. Agree with me or not?
