McLEAN , VIRGINIA , January 31 /SMRP/ - - When a company
wants to compare maintenance and availability performance
internally or externally, they need a common platform in
terms of predefined indicator so that they can compare apples
to apples. This challenge is being met by the SMRP (Society
for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals) and the
EFNMS (European Federation of National Maintenance Societies).
These two maintenance organizations have launched a joint
activity to compare and document existing indicators for
maintenance and reliability performance. This will help
the maintenance manager to understand the indicators and
the definitions for the indicators. (full
