Maintenance KPIs: Key Indicators to Measure Efficiency

Tracking the effectiveness of maintenance activities is essential to optimizing costs, resources, and downtime. To do this objectively, it's necessary to define and monitor KPIs – Key Performance Indicators. These numeric values help assess whether current strategies are effective or need adjustment.

With a system like UTwin, all key KPIs can be collected, analyzed, and visualized directly within the platform, providing a reliable data foundation for both operational and strategic decisions.

Commonly Used Maintenance KPIs

• MTTR (Mean Time To Repair)
  Average time needed to repair a failure. Reflects the responsiveness of the maintenance team.
• MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
  Average time between two failures. Measures asset reliability.
• Failure Rate
  Number of failures per unit of time or operational cycle.
• Maintenance Backlog
  Number of scheduled but uncompleted tasks. A growing backlog may indicate inefficiency.
• Preventive vs Corrective Maintenance Ratio
  Indicates how much maintenance is proactive versus reactive.
• Average Cost per Work Order
  Useful for budget control and assessing direct and indirect maintenance costs.
• Asset Availability
  Percentage of time the asset is operational and available for use.
