The purpose of a Maintenance Gap Analysis is to respond to three key goals of Site Management:

1.       To obtain an objective and independent assessment of their maintenance function;

2.       To use the results to develop a road map for future operational and maintenance performance improvement; and

3.       To identify opportunities for maintenance to increase the value and reduce the cost of their services.

Typical priorities that emerge:

1.       The imperative of having a reliable and well-functioning maintenance management system to maintain and control the maintenance best practices and act as the core of the maintenance knowledge base;

2.       A program to enhance the impact of maintenance on improved operational results;

3.       Establish and nurture a reliability center, tasked with evaluating and developing new reliability analyses and continuous improvement maintenance practices;

4.      A list of value improvements and cost savings opportunities and how to achieve them.

Following the Gap Analysis, Site Management will have a well-documented forward path to follow in setting internal goals and budgets.  The target is cost-effective maintenance improvement combined with its positive effect on operations.  This report gives Management a clear road-map for priorities and for the allocation of resources.
