Top 10 Maintenance Execution Efficiency Metrics (Open Pit – Surface Mining)

  • 1.  Top 10 Maintenance Execution Efficiency Metrics (Open Pit – Surface Mining)

    Posted 2 hours ago

    Hi everyone πŸ‘‹,

    I'm looking to tap into the group's collective experience to help identify a strong, practical set of Maintenance Execution Efficiency metrics, specifically for open pit surface mining operations.

    πŸ” What I'm not looking for
    To keep this focused, let's please exclude:

    • Availability
    • Reliability
    • Utilization
    • Production metrics
      (these are well-covered elsewhere and not the intent here)

    βœ… What I am looking for
    Metrics that directly reflect how efficiently maintenance work is executed, such as:

    • Planning & scheduling effectiveness
    • Craft productivity / wrench time
    • Schedule compliance & stability
    • Work execution quality, flow, and discipline
    • Material / tool readiness impacting execution
    • Rework, delays, and execution waste

    πŸ›  Scope

    • Open pit surface mining fleets & infrastructure (e.g., haul trucks, shovels, drills, dozers, support equipment)
    • Day-to-day and shutdown execution perspectives welcome

    πŸ’‘ What would be most helpful

    • Your Top 5–10 execution efficiency metrics
    • If possible, Brief context on:
      • Why you use it
      • What behavior it drives
      • Any lessons learned (gaming risks, maturity level required, etc.)

    I'm aiming to compare and converge on a short, high-impact execution efficiency scorecard that actually drives better maintenance outcomes in the mine, not just more reporting.

    Appreciate any insights, examples, or hard-earned lessons. Looking forward to the discussion πŸ‘
