Maintenance Excellence Audit

What is Maintenance Excellence? Many companies have good preventive maintenance programs and some are doing some predictive technologies. But very few, if any, understand what it really takes to achieve maintenance excellence. Maintenance excellence is understanding and practicing many different programs and processes to get to this high level of success. This process really helps maintenance become a profit center for the company and not the fix it when it breaks team.

The maintenance excellence audit is used to help a plant understand where they stand on there practices. The audit has 25 areas the plant will be rated on. Each area is rated on a 0-10 scale. Each area has 5-8 questions to gain an understanding of the plants knowledge and practices. Many plants and processes are practicing parts of some of these programs, but lack of training and understanding of this process keeps them from moving to the highest level of excellence.

The score in each area of the audit will help guide your plant in the training and procedures that are needed to start your own process. The audit covers everything from management and leadership all the way down to how they handle reactive maintenance. Which by the way should be below 10% of your maintenance tasks?
