Adoption patterns and performance implications of Smart Maintenance

To substantiate and extend emergent research on maintenance in digitalized manufacturing, we examine adoption patterns performance implications of the four dimensions Smart Maintenance: data-driven decision-making, human capital resource, internal integration, external integration. Using data collected from 145 Swedish manufacturing plants, apply a configurational approach to study how Maintenance are shaped formed, as well related operating environment plant. Cluster analysis was used develop an empirical taxonomy Maintenance, revealing that reflect strength balance underlying dimensions. Canonical discriminant indicated environments with higher level digitalization. The results ANOVA NCA showed importance coordinated joint implementation productivity This contributes literature industrial by expanding strengthening theoretical foundation it provides managerial advice for making strategic decisions about implementation.
