Rework from Missed Preventive Maintenance Due to Scheduling Failures
Definition
Scheduling oversights in technician dispatch lead to missed preventive maintenance, increasing equipment failures and rework costs. Without automated reminders and calendars, PM tasks slip, causing breakdowns that require emergency repairs and compensation. This elevates total cost of poor quality through repeated interventions.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Avoidable expenses from excess downtime (estimated 20-30% reduction post-fix)
- Frequency: Monthly
- Root Cause: Manual tracking with spreadsheets instead of auto-generated PM work orders
