Downtime from repeated breakdowns

Fermi macchina per guasti ripetuti · Transport · Beginner

The case

You manage 40 vehicles. In the last 3 months you had 22 unplanned breakdowns, averaging 1.8 days of stoppage each. Every day a truck is down means ~600 € of lost margin plus replacement rental cost. Maintenance is run-to-failure: you only act when a vehicle stops. 60% of failures come from 8 vehicles with over 500,000 km. How do you cut unplanned downtime 40% within the next quarter?

Gestisci 40 mezzi. Negli ultimi 3 mesi hai avuto 22 fermi non pianificati, con una media di 1,8 giorni di stop per guasto. Ogni giorno di fermo di un camion significa ~600 € di mancato margine più il costo del noleggio sostitutivo. La manutenzione è "a rottura": si interviene solo quando il mezzo si ferma. Il 60% dei guasti riguarda 8 mezzi con oltre 500.000 km. Come riduci i fermi non pianificati del 40% entro il prossimo trimestre?
