Survey
Introduction
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) promotes innovation and industrial competitiveness in domestic manufacturing. To achieve this goal in an effective and efficient manner, NIST aims to identify the most efficient means for reducing costs, environmental impacts, and increasing resilience. This survey focuses on gathering data relevant to manufacturing machinery maintenance (i.e., machinery used in the manufacturing process). Your participation is appreciated, and the data provided is anonymous.
Who Should Complete the Survey
This survey should be completed by management staff or senior staff members that are familiar with the maintenance practices, costs, and strategies at this establishment. If certain information cannot be divulged or determined, please leave it blank.
Reporting Unit
This survey seeks information at the establishment level. An establishment is, for the purposes of this survey, a single physical location where operations are performed (e.g., a factory).
Additional Information
This
collection of information contains Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
requirements approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to
the requirements of the PRA unless that collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control number. Public reporting
burden for this collection is estimated to be 25 minutes per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed and
completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send
comments regarding this burden estimate or any aspect of this
collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to the National Institute of Standards and Technology,

$
What percent of the planned production time do you estimate is downtime?
%

%
Do you believe that your establishment would benefit from converting some portion of reactive and preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance?
Yes
No
If yes, what benefits and costs do you believe could come about by converting some portion of reactive and preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance?
% change in maintenance and repair costs, if any
% change in downtime, if any
% change in sales, if any
% change in injuries, if any
What percent of injuries, if any, are associated with reactive maintenance at this establishment?
%
What is the lead time for a product at this establishment (i.e., the time it takes a new set of inputs to move all the way through the operation)?
Please select the most accurate statement for this establishment:
Very few investments are made to reduce future maintenance related costs and losses.
Minor investments, such as in planning software, are made to reduce future maintenance related costs and losses.
Moderate investments, such as in monitoring equipment for some machinery, are made to reduce future maintenance related costs and losses.
Significant or major investments, such as analysis software and monitoring equipment for most machines, are made to reduce future maintenance related costs and losses.
How many hours per week is this establishment operating on average this year?
What percent increase in finished goods inventory, if any, do you estimate is maintained to deal with delays from unplanned maintenance issues?
%
What is the primary competitive focus of this establishment and its products (select one)?
Cost competitiveness: we compete primarily based on having a low cost for the customer
Differentiation: we compete primarily based on differentiating ourselves from others through quality, reputation, service, brand name, or other similar characteristics
Does this establishment primarily use a push (i.e., make to stock) or pull (i.e., make to order) strategy (select one)?
Push or make to stock strategy
Pull or make to order strategy
What best describes the management style used at this establishment (select one):
Autocratic: Decisions are made at the top with limited input from staff
Consultative: Decisions are made at the top with input from staff
Democratic: Employees take part in the decision-making process
