Produced in the UK in conjunction with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the report focuses on several key areas:
- Challenges, strategies and priorities
Staffing fears have risen to the top of the agenda for maintenance professionals. But other concerns remain and yet more are coming to the fore. Many organisations are moving towards planned maintenance strategies but others remain more reactive. - Maintenance maturity and data
Fewer than a third of maintenance professionals are confident their function displays a high level of maturity, and concerns around the quality of data mean this is likely to be justified. - Tackling unscheduled downtime
Unscheduled downtime is the nightmare scenario for engineers and maintenance professionals, but it’s all-too common in many organisations. - Key industry sector findings
While many of the challenges and strategies taken are common across different sectors, there are some notable deviations. We explore findings from process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, energy, oil & gas, utilities and communications and facilities and intralogistics.
The result of quantitative and qualitative analysis of 371 responses from professionals of every seniority, this report offers a definitive snapshot of maintenance engineering today.
