Succeed in Maintenance Management Using Failure Codes

How accurately can you answer these questions about your facilities?

• What piece of equipment has had the most chronic (low cost, high frequency) failures in the past six months?

• What type of equipment has had the most failures between scheduled preventative maintenance (PMs) in the past two years?

If you can't answer these questions and don't know how to find the information quickly and easily, you should think about implementing failure codes.
