Maintenance Tip
Tracking the Origin of Corrective Maintenance Work
Track the origin of your corrective maintenance work. Proactive organizations with good control of equipment condition find that the majority of their corrective work – work that is needed to remedy a substandard condition – comes from the results of structured preventive and predictive maintenance activities.
These are usually reported by the Maintenance organization. Reactive organizations typically wait until there is a noticeable problem or loss of function until a work order is generated. This work is typically reported by Operations.
The best way to get this information is to create separate work types in your CMMS for corrective work from PM and PdM and classify the work accordingly. A simple query of hours by work type will show the source.
If you don’t have separate codes for this work, however, you can run a query of corrective work orders by requestor. If the requestors of most of the work are from Operations, you know you have a problem!”
