Research indicates that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/operations\/our-insights\/planning-to-fix-improving-maintenance-efficiency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;the cost of maintenance is between 10 and 25 percent of total operating costs&#8221;<\/a>.   The same research indicates that more than 50% of that cost is in labor.  So, small efficiency improvements can have a profound effect on costs.  The question has to be asked, <strong>how can organizations improve operations and maintenance to increase productivity and efficiency?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premier global market intelligence firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IDC<\/a>, has released a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/global\/en\/resource\/improving-plant-maintenance-productivity\/87051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">whitepaper <\/a>centered around this topic.  In this paper, IDC describes the challenges facing owner-operators in the process industries with respect to maintenance via &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/teamcenter\/service-lifecycle-management-with-plm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">service lifecycle management<\/a>&#8220;.  Many of the issues described point to the issue of unreliable data that is created by service providers across the supply chain &#8211; such as Engineering, Procurement &amp; Construction (EPC) firms, design firms, service providers, and OEM&#8217;s.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the paper (link below) to learn more about IDC findings.
