A maintenance planner once told me:
“Our PM program is over 90% compliant.”
I asked a simple question:
“Are the PMs actually preventing failures?”
PM compliance measures activity.
Reliability measures outcomes.
You can achieve 100% PM compliance and still have a poor PM program.
The real questions are:
- Are the right tasks being performed?
- Are they based on failure modes?
- Are technicians given clear instructions?
- Are acceptance criteria defined?
A completed PM is not necessarily an effective PM.
