Maintenance Maturity and Business Case Assessment

A practical workbook for building the business case for strategic maintenance investment.

Maintenance leaders are often the first to see where a plant is under strain – recurring failures, planned work displaced by emergencies, parts delays, preventive maintenance deferrals, staffing pressures, and the frustration of maintenance data that does not give a full and accurate picture.

The challenge is turning what you can see into a clear diagnosis and a credible case for improvement.

Our Maintenance Maturity and Business Case Assessment is informed by decades of experience in manufacturing maintenance. It gives you a structured way to assess your maintenance function, identify where attention is most needed, and explain the business impact to plant leadership.

Use the workbook to:

  • Score your maintenance function across seven areas of maturity.
  • Identify the three areas most in need of attention.
  • Connect maintenance weaknesses to reliability, labor, downtime, parts, cost, capacity, and risk.
  • Identify gaps in the data needed to support better decisions.
  • Separate improvements maintenance can make directly from those requiring wider plant support.
  • Build concise business case statements for leadership discussion.
