“…Besides, it has been found that concerns with BM issues have played a significant role in improving quality (Y3). Also, knowledge also shows that problems with Pd.M (X4) have a major impact on production (Y4) and flexibility and delivery (Y6) (Singh et al, 2018;Sidhu et al, 2020a).…”

“…Further, it has been noticed that BM issues have exhibited a significant role in increasing the quality (Y3) (Chauhan and Chauhan, 2019). Furthermore, data also highlights that Pd.M issues (X4) have a significant effect on production (Y4) and flexibility and delivery (Y6) (Thanki et al, 2016;Sidhu et al, 2020a). This is a testimony to the fact that successful implementation of maintenance activities has immense potential to deliver significant improvements to organizations' efficiency parameters.…”

Purpose This paper aims to assess the contributions of maintenance practices and extract various significant factors that influence the implementation of maintenance practices in northern Indian small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) business performance. Design/methodology/approach In the current study, 216 north Indian SMEs have been extensively surveyed to assess the contributions of different maintenance practices implementation dimensions and manufacturing performance attributes through different statistical techniques. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to statistically validate the hypotheses, while Levene’s experiment and Wilk–Shapiro tests were used to confirm ANOVA’s assumptions. Finally, the discriminating validity test extracts highly successful and moderately successful organizations. Findings The present research aims to evaluate the contributions of different maintenance practices implementation dimensions on SMEs’ manufacturing performance attributes. The study highlights that strategic maintenance practices such as corrective maintenance (CM), general maintenance issues, preventive maintenance (PM) issues and predictive maintenance (Pd.M) initiatives have enhanced overall equipment effectiveness, overall business performance, quality, cost optimization, safety, delivery and morale in SMEs. Originality/value The study validates the capabilities of maintenance practices toward significant improvements of various implementation dimensions such as breakdown maintenance issues, general maintenance issues, PM issues, Pd.M issues, CM issues, computer maintenance management system issues, maintenance scheduling issues and total productive maintenance issues. The study reveals significant implications for SMEs for realizing significantly improved manufacturing performance through strategic maintenance initiatives.

“…Calculate the weights of the decision criteria by computing the normalised principal eigenvector of the matrix ( Odu, 2019 ). This vector gives the weights of the criteria ( Saaty, 2003;Singh Sidhu et al, 2020;Vargas, 2010 ). Construct a pairwise comparison for the subcriteria and calculate the weights in a similar manner.…”

“…Among different methods to handle multidimensional analysis and to support decisions related to preventive maintenance issues, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a structured technique of multicriteria decision analysis for organizing and analysing complex decisions, has been used by many researchers (Mostafa and Fahmy 2020;Mutlag and Dawood 2020;Wang 2021;de Silva et al 2022;Mathew et al 2022;Sidhu et al 2022), due to the fact that it can effectively handle the degree of uncertainty and assist in determining the optimal strategy for performing preventive maintenance. In the present study, we used the AHP to establish a preventive maintenance plan for a steel company straightening machine.…”

Equipment failure and production shortfalls can cause significant impacts on companies. Preventive maintenance can potentially increase equipment reliability and availability, helping companies achieve their corporate goals while reducing operation and maintenance costs. However, determining the optimal interval between maintenance interventions involves balancing various factors such as maintenance costs, equipment availability, risk of failures, and the need for corrective maintenance, as well as potential operational and financial impacts. Under this context, this paper aims to define the interval between preventive maintenance interventions for a key production equipment in a steel company located in Southeast region of Brazil. Upon documental analysis and interviews with experts, an AHP was applied to hierarchize the maintenance periodicity, based on the following criteria: part replacement based on service life, downtime hours for preventive maintenance, equipment reliability, and cost of materials and labour. A biweekly preventive maintenance periodicity was identified as the most adequate for the analysed device. An implementation plan was approved and preliminary results indicate no availability deterioration, while maintenance costs are below historical average.
