TIMING IS EVERYTHING: 2024 Global Maintenance Engineering Report

How are maintenance engineers, and the companies they work for, responding to continuing industry changes and challenges? Rising costs. Innovative technologies. Smarter approaches to age-old problems. We surveyed more than 2200 maintenance engineers from across the globe to better understand how they are reacting to these challenges.

THE REPORT COVERS SEVERAL KEY AREAS:

  1. Maintenance Today: While challenges continue, there is no denying that companies are changing their approach to maintenance. As they look to minimize downtime, which sectors are ahead in making this strategic change?
  2. Downtime hours and cost: Downtime is inevitable. All regions experience it. What they identify as the cause of that downtime and how they address it differs, though.
  3. Managing Maintenance Engineering: Outsourcing maintenance engineering is growing in popularity. Nearly two of three report they are currently outsourcing services to address gaps in skill sets.
  4. Role of Technology: While 55% of respondents share that they are using in-house spreadsheets for monitoring maintenance activities, there is a significant opportunity for new technology, like smart IIOT.
  5. Stakeholders & Suppliers: Understanding when and where parts are needed is only part of the picture maintenance engineers require. Supplier reliability, visibility to asset performance and other metrics are just as critical.
