Benchmarking of the maintenance cost in HEPT Centers

This article is the follow up of the paper "Analyse of maintenance cost in ST" presented at the 4th Workshop in Chamonix. Last year the equipment was grouped into families and the ratio of the maintenance cost over the replacement value for each family was calculated. This was done to make an evaluation of the level of maintenance compared with other similar laboratories. This paper shows the result of this comparison. The paper tries to highlight the problem evaluating the level of maintenance and the use of resources. With scarce resources available the division has to make sure that they are allocated and followed up in the best possible and optimal way. "Input" or "quantitative" measurements will therefore have to be combined with performance indicators. This is the only way to measure and evaluate the effect the use of resources has on the output
