These are average values: actual results may vary by sector, fleet size and maintenance organization.
Without a preventive maintenance plan, your company gives up estimated savings of up to €180,000 every year: about €15,000 for every month you wait. Find out how MACHINA WEB, the CMMS software by Studio ARCHIMEDE, helps you recover them.

The reference data
The U.S. Department of Energy
This estimate is based on data measured by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for companies in any industrial sector: switching from reactive to preventive maintenance cuts its share from over 55% (industry average) to under 10% (industry-leading companies), with average cost savings of 12% to 18%.
The same guide also highlights the concrete benefits of a CMMS: spotting problems before they cause a failure, increasing the share of planned maintenance, forecasting spare parts needs more accurately, and keeping equipment performance steady over time.
