In a manufacturing environment, reactive maintenance beyond 20 - 30% of total labor hours should be considered pretty bad. We would call that a "worst practice." Reactive maintenance costs at least double than maintenance in a "planned" environment. Worse that that - reactive maintenance results in longer periods of downtime. Even worse, when machinery runs to failure, a plant needs to expend resources on frequent overtime, and extraordinary resources to get "everything back on line."
We believe that plants that operate with "best practices" have a strong reliability culture. The middle ground is companies that have a "repair" culture. Our view is that manufacturing plants that have the view that maintenance is a reliability function, not a repair function have the best performance. We believe in a fix forever vs a forever fix mentality.
