In the era of Reliability 4.0, why are so many businesses still self-identifying as highly reactive? While connected assets, predictive modeling, and time series AI can certainly be implemented today depending on your resources, maintenance fundamentals should not be overlooked. Managing an existing backlog can be daunting independent of IIoT and AI.

Reducing unplanned downtime and properly managing planned downtime requires early work identification, effective planning, formal scheduling, proper work execution, and ongoing analysis & continuous process improvement. The fundamentals remain the same regardless of what triggers the need for work. Understand expectations of the maintenance fundamentals, common gaps and how to address them to gain control of maintenance work processes and free up hidden plant capacity.
