A literature review of maintenance performance measurement

Abstract

PurposeThis research aims to examine the relevant literature related to maintenance performance measurement in the manufacturing sector. In the process, innovative approaches and models utilized to measure and manage maintenance performance in manufacturing operational settings are classified and examined. Based on this investigation, future research directions and themes are identified.Design/methodology/approachA database of 251 peer‐reviewed publications, published during the last 30 years, was utilized for the purpose of this research. The published works included contributions from both practitioners and scholars.FindingsThis literature review‐based research revealed important themes related to evolution of maintenance performance management. These themes focus on the effective utilization of maintenance resources, information systems support, and human factor management. Based on this literature review, a conceptual framework, which traces the different operational and organizational facets of the evolution of maintenance performance management, is offered.Research limitations/implicationsBased on the findings of this study, it is concluded that the area of maintenance performance and management is in need of more future systematic research efforts aimed at solidifying theoretical constructs and promoting the utilization of more practical applications.Practical implicationsFindings derived from this investigation have relevant manufacturing implications. In this context, understanding the different approaches to maintenance performance measurement and management, as utilized in manufacturing organizations, is critical to these organizations' performance improvement efforts.Originality/valueUnderstanding the types and scopes of the different approaches and models utilized to manage and measure maintenance performance in manufacturing operational settings is important in light of the growing competitiveness of the manufacturing sector.

Contingency Factors Influencing Implementation of Physical Asset Management Practices

“…Traditionally, maintenance, with its multifaceted activities, resources, measurement, and management, has been important to manufacturing organizations. However, in recent years, the need to manage different aspects of maintenance more effectively has increased the importance of the role of maintenance in organizations (Simões, Gomes, & Yasin, 2011). In any industrial practice, the basic effort is to reduce costs and increase profit (Pacaiova, Glatz, & Kacvinsky, 2012).…”

Interval of Routine Maintenance and Maintenance Performance: A Literature Review

“…In order to establish the relationship between frequency of routine maintenance and maintenance performance, an extensive search and analytical review of the literature related to the topics were performed. This method was adopted from the researches done by Simoes, Gomes and Yasin [41] and Roda, Macchi, Fumagalli and Viveros [42]. The literature search and review covered publications of journal articles, conference proceedings, and books.…”

Estratégia de manutenção e aumento da disponibilidade de um posto de compressão de gases na indústria petrolífera

“…Para uma gestão eficaz da manutenção, é necessário enfoque sistêmico, que considere as diversas interfaces envolvidas, tais como os sistemas de recursos humanos, de produção, de materiais sobressalentes, e de execução da manutenção, o que deve incluir ao menos um histórico técnico e de custos de intervenção (SIMÕES et al, 2011). Para definir a estratégia de manutenção, uma importante base de apoio são métodos quantitativos já propostos na literatura.…”
