“…Effectiveness is related to indirect maintenance cost while efficiency is related to direct maintenance cost (Márquez et al 2009). Previous research (Salonen and Bengtsson 2011) indicates that companies struggle in analyzing the indirect maintenance costs and therefore focuses on the direct maintenance costs. Thus, it is common that maintenance organizations are assessed on their effectiveness, for instance equipment availability, while only taking into consideration the direct maintenance cost.…”

The objective of this paper is to discuss and elaborate on requirements of maintenance and the resulting maintenance needs in order to maintain said requirements without introducing waste while doing so, taking into account both external and internal wastes. The paper will present, and elaborate on, conceptual models that can be utilized in maintenance operations in order to increase awareness of the importance of well-founded customer/stakeholder requirements in order to articulate appropriate maintenance needs in order to balance effectiveness and efficiency as well as to reduce or eliminate maintenance-related waste.

“…Moreover, it is possible to monitor the impact of any action against key business drivers through feedback mechanisms (Jones and Sharp, 2007). By identifying the true strategic goals of maintenance and by implementing a well-formulated strategy, companies can optimize the return on investment of their maintenance expenditure (Salonen, and Bengtsson, 2011). The measurement of maintenance performance appears to be very important and tracking the performance of maintenance operations should be a key management issue.…”

The purpose of this paper is to provide a literature review on the different ways of carrying out Facility Management and related topics in order to uncover that there is limited research regarding the impact of Facility Management on the logistics and operational performance of warehouses. Design/methodology/approach-Four different focus areas have been identified and for each one different methodologies and streams of research have been studied. Findings-The study underlines the importance of Facility Management for the logistics operations; therefore it supports the notion that investments aiming at preserving the status of the building and service components of warehouses are crucial. Originality/value-This paper aims to suggest to Facility Management managers that they can contribute to enhance business performance by designing effective Facility Management strategies.

“…Other researchers point out that employee involvement drives improvement efforts (Krishnamoorthi, 2006;Heizer & Render, 2008;Stephen, Rungtsusanatham, Zhao and Lee (2015). Improved workforce problem-solving skills facilitate the re-engineering of setups and the establishment of culture of quality conformance improvement (Su et al, 2014) and the implementation of effective preventive maintenance strategy as discussed by Sharma and Yadava (2011), Salonen and Bengtsson (2011) and Prajapati et al (2012). Hafner (1991) and WuaKan and McGinnis (2012) conclude that the reduction of the standard deviation of the processing and inter-arrival times has a similar effect on throughput times, which results in an increase in manufacturing capacity.…”

In an era characterised by a volatile economy, intense competition, and rising energy and material costs, improving operational efficiency has become a necessity for margin purposes and long-term business success. This research study attempts to develop a model for process operations variability reduction that integrates the fundamental drivers, the intermediate measures and the four traditional competitive capabilities: quality, cost, delivery reliability and speed of delivery. In addition, it highlights the precise mechanisms in plants that lead to multiple competitive capabilities development. The concept of a routine-based approach to capabilities development provides a nexus between the earlier actions by the organisation and competitive advantage. Using longitudinal data from the Manufacturing Circle of South Africa, a statistical analysis was conducted to support the model, and path analysis models were developed which confirmed that the performance frontier is really a surface that spans many different dimensions. It is observed that the model clearly outlines pathways to process operations variability reduction through better execution of the routines concerned with maintaining the performance by current processes, improving existing processes, and transforming or changing to new processes.
