4. Start with measurement
• Quantifying asset performance gives a
clear view of its performance.
• Key performance indices (KPI) can
provide a clear view on asset
performance and help to identify areas
for improvement
• Quantify performance
• Compare it with historic trends or industry benchmarks
• Identify areas with scope for improvement
Objectives of KPIs
You cannot
manage what you
cannot measure..
Bill Hewlett
(Co-founder of Hewlett Packard)

5. KPIs
• Production outputs
• Production rate
• OEE / OFE – Overall equipment/factory efficiency
Plant performance KPIs
• Maintenance costs (Total, preventive, breakdown etc)
• Asset availability (Uptime / Uptime + Downtime)
• Mean time between failures = (total running hours / no of failures)
• Mean time to Restoration = (time to restoration / no of failures)
Maintenance KPIs
• Overall energy consumption
• Energy product footprint = energy consumption / units produced
• Energy intensity = energy consumption / output value
Energy KPIs
BS EN 15341

6. Machine Maintenance
• 80% of unscheduled downtime is preventable
• World is moving from scheduled maintenance to predictive and condition
based maintenance
What is happening
• Machine live data through online monitoring or automation systems will be
key input for decisions
Importance of machine data
