17 Maintenance KPIs

Maintenance KPIs are performance metrics that help you measure how effective your overall maintenance process works.

You can use them to track the progress of your individual maintenance crews, as well as the overall performance of your entire organization.

 

These KPIs will be utilized across the site’s Maintenance Departments:
  1. LTIFR,  Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (both production and maintenance)
  2. Maintenance Cost per Hour vs. Budget
  3. Cost of Quality
  4. Maintenance Effectiveness
  5. Maintenance Efficiency
  6. Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
  7. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
  8. Preventive Inspection Effectiveness
  9. Ratio of Preventive to Breakdown Maintenance
  10. Backlog
  11. % Scheduled Man Hours Planned
  12. % Schedule Compliance
  13. % Planning Effectiveness
  14. % Man Hours Available
  15. % Rework
  16. % Failures Investigated
  17. MIP Process Effectiveness  (MIP = Management Improvement Program).

How to calculate these KPIs, please read this document:

Maintenance 4.0 Implementation Handbook (pdf)

WHAT IS MAINTENANCE 4.0? Industry 4.0 is a name given to the current trend of automation and data exchange in industrial technologies. It includes the Industrial Internet of things (IIoT), wireless sensors, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Industry 4.0 is commonly referred to as the fourth industrial revolution. Maintenance 4.0 is a machine-assisted digital version of all the things we have been doing for the past forty years as humans to ensure our assets deliver value for our organization. Maintenance 4.0 includes a holistic view of sources of data, ways to connect, ways to collect, ways to analyze and recommended actions to take in order to ensure asset function (reliability) and value (asset management) are digitally assisted. For example, traditional Maintenance 1.0 includes sending highly-trained specialists to collect machinery vibration analysis readings on pumps, motors and gearboxes. Maintenance 4.0 includes a wireless vibration sensor conne...

Top 8 Reasons for Mechanical Seal Failure and How to Prevent Them

Mechanical seals are critical components of pumps, responsible for maintaining a fluid-tight seal between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump housing. However, these seals can fail due to various factors, leading to leakage, reduced pump efficiency, and costly downtime. In this article, we will discuss the top reasons for mechanical seal failure in pumps and how to prevent them. 1-Improper Seal Selection Choosing the wrong mechanical seal can cause it to fail. Consider the following factors that can contribute to seal failure: • Chemical compatibility: All seal components, such as the seal faces and O-rings, must be compatible not only with the process fluid being pumped, but also with non-process fluids used for cleaning, steam, acid, and caustic flushes, etc. • Physical degradation: Using soft seal faces on abrasive liquids will not last. Shear-sensitive liquids, like chocolate, can break down and leave behind solids (such as cocoa powder) and force out liquids (like oil). • S...

Why Pump Shafts Often Break at the Keyway Area

By NTS Pump shaft failure can lead to significant downtime and repair costs in industrial plants. One of the most common locations for pump shaft failure is at the keyway area. In this article, we will explore the reasons why pump shafts often break at the keyway and what can be done to prevent such failures. The keyway is a high-stress point (weakest point)  on the shaft, where a key is inserted to transmit torque between the shaft and the pump impeller or coupling. During operation, the keyway experiences cyclic loading that creates a bending moment in the shaft, which is concentrated in the keyway area. Over time, this cyclic loading can cause fatigue failure in the shaft material, leading to a fracture at the keyway. In addition to cyclic loading, other factors can contribute to shaft failure at the keyway. Improper keyway design or installation can lead to stress concentrations or inadequate clearance between the key and keyway . Misalignment or overloading can also cause ex...

Technical questions with answers on gas turbines

By NTS. What is a gas turbine? A gas turbine is an engine that converts the energy from a flow of gas into mechanical energy. How does a gas turbine work? Gas turbines work on the Brayton cycle, which involves compressing air, mixing it with fuel, and igniting the mixture to create a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This gas expands through a turbine, which generates mechanical energy that can be used to power a variety of machines and equipment. What are the different types of gas turbines? There are three main types of gas turbines: aeroderivative , industrial, and heavy-duty. Aeroderivative gas turbines are used in aviation and small-scale power generation. Industrial gas turbines are used in power generation and other industrial applications. Heavy-duty gas turbines are typically used in large power plants. What are the main components of a gas turbine? The main components of a gas turbine include the compressor, combustion chamb...

PREVENTING CREEP IN SUBMERSIBLE PUMP BEARINGS

Submersible pumps are commonly used in various industries such as construction, mining, wastewater treatment, agriculture, and general manufacturing. Typically, these pumps consist of a vertical electric drive motor that is directly connected to the impeller, and they are designed to operate for long periods with minimal maintenance. BEARING ARRANGEMENT The bottom bearing, also known as the locating bearing, usually consists of a double-row angular contact ball bearing or a pair of angular contact bearings, which are responsible for supporting the axial and radial loads generated by the pumped fluid. Since the bearing is subjected to heavy loads, it is important to select the appropriate bearing to achieve the desired service life. On the other hand, the top free bearing is generally a deep groove ball bearing that takes a light radial load. Typically, C3 clearance is used to compensate for the reduction in clearance caused by the heat generated by the electric motor. CREEP PHENOME...
