Impact of Maintenance Strategies on the Performance Of Industrial Facilities In Selected Industrial Estates In Lagos State, Nigeria

摘要

The study appraised the facilities and the maintenance management strategies employed in selected industrial estates in Lagos State by identifying and examining facilities maintenance strategies, and determining their impact on the physical condition of the facilities. This was with a view to establishing the optimal strategies. Data were sourced using structured questionnaire administered on the staff of maintenance department of the industrial firms located in the estates, only building materials and plastic manufacturing industries were purposively selected. The Spearman correlation between reactive maintenance and the physical condition of the walls, roofs, floors, windows and doors, electrical fittings, plumbing, manufacturing plant, and generators had R values of 0.113, 0.24, 0.14, 0.26, 0.28, 0.23, 0.32, 0.41 respectively. The result showed a weak positive correlation (sta tistic) between reactive maintenance and the physical co ndition of the facilities. The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) computed between types of maintenance strategies and the respondents' level of satisfaction on the physical condition of their facilities revealed that the different F values were all greater than 0.05 (P >0.05). In other words there was no significant relationship between the types of maintenance strategies and the respondents' level of satisfaction with the physical condition of their facilities, thus the types of maintenance strategy currently used in the maintenance of industrial facilities had no influence on the physical condition of industrial facilities.
