About this ebook
Most maintenance operations are struggling with a high emergency (unplanned) to planned work-order ratio, an excessive backlog, a lack of sufficient resources, constant work interruptions, not having parts when they are needed, recurring failures, and several similar issues. Stalled productivity, lost compensation, and a less-efficient facility are only a few of the consequences suffered when proper maintenance is botched, ignored, or unplanned.
If you are having these problems, you know that your maintenance operation needs a lot of improvement. By implementing a maintenance-excellence program, you will maximize the performance of your maintenance operation and you will help your operation achieve world-class maintenance. A maintenance-excellence program is a strategic plan of planning and assigning work, managing spare parts, performing preventive and predictive maintenance, utilizing computerized maintenance management system (CMMS)/enterprise asset management (EAM) software, managing data (through data classification, cleansing, enrichment, and gathering), and tracking performance.
This booklet will help you understand the key components of a maintenance-excellence program. It will explain how the program works and its importance in achieving a world-class maintenance operation.

The Maintenance-Excellence Program - Kris Bagadia
Preface
Most maintenance operations are struggling with a high emergency (unplanned) to planned work-order ratio, an excessive backlog, a lack of sufficient resources, constant work interruptions, not having parts when they are needed, recurring failures, and several similar issues. Stalled productivity, lost compensation, and a less-efficient facility are only a few of the consequences suffered when proper maintenance is botched, ignored, or unplanned.
If you are having these problems, you know that your maintenance operation needs a lot of improvement. By implementing a maintenance-excellence program, you will maximize the performance of your maintenance operation and you will help your operation achieve world-class maintenance. A maintenance-excellence program is a strategic plan of planning and assigning work, managing spare parts, performing preventive and predictive maintenance, utilizing computerized maintenance management system (CMMS)/enterprise asset management (EAM) software, managing data (through data classification, cleansing, enrichment, and gathering), and tracking performance.
This booklet will help you understand the key components of a maintenance-excellence program. It will explain how the program works and its importance in achieving a world-class maintenance operation.
Maintenance Work Process Flow
Introduction
In most maintenance operations, a work request comes in and is assigned to a technician who completes the request and then moves on to the next job. At best, some preventive maintenance is performed when scheduled. The number of work orders keeps adding to the system every day, never to be seen or reviewed again. This is how maintenance traditionally operates and has been operating for years. In order to achieve maintenance excellence, you must establish a proper maintenance work process flow and planning-and-scheduling model.
Maintenance Work Process Flow
A flawed work process flow causes a large amount of interruptions, leading to an excessive backlog. Typically maintenance organizations use 80–90% of their time on unplanned jobs and 10–20% on planned (preventive included) maintenance. These numbers should be reversed in order to cut down on the amount of emergencies
that technicians deal with daily. In order to do this, you will need to implement a proper maintenance work process flow. A proper maintenance work process flow should include eight distinct steps:
Notification
Approval
Planning
Scheduling
Dispatch
Execution
Follow-Up
Reporting Metrics/Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
Many of these steps are missing from most operations. Follow-Up and Reporting Metrics/KPI are rarely
