Right-Sizing Your Maintenance Organization, Paper360º July/August 2025

 


One of the most common questions I am asked, especially from those who are new to maintenance, is “How do I know that we are right-sized within our maintenance organization?”

Many have tried to find a simple answer to this question. I have collected large amounts of data to find this answer—for example, number of motor drives, pumps, or other common equipment within respective industries, in relation to the size of the maintenance workforce. Figure 1 shows some steps that can help.

TAPPI conference proceedings and presentations, technical papers, and publication articles provide technical and management data and solutions on topics covering the Pulp, Paper, Tissue, Corrugated Packaging, Flexible Packaging, Nanotechnology and Converting Industries.

Simply select the quantity, add to your cart and your conference paper, presentation or article will be available for immediate download.
