Report highlights maintenance failings

摘要

A Bosch Rexroth UK report, published in conjunction with the Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET), has highlighted some critical maintenance failings. The report 'What You Don't Repair You Destroy,' catalogues a series of problems affecting manufacturing maintenance practices that threaten productivity, efficiency and competiveness. It surveyed 300 engineers in a variety of roles from manufacturing director through to maintenance engineer. Key findings include the fact that 71% of engineers describe their maintenance practices as reactive or planned; 50% said that maintenance training budgets have stagnated or decreased in recent years and that the majority of maintenance engineers receive only five days training or less every year.
