through historical repair data and the overall efficiency of the machines. The key performance indicators such as mean time between failure rates (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) will also help in the analysis. The criticality matrix is a suitable tool to evaluate, classify and prioritise an asset. This matrix also includes factors such as the cost of maintenance and costs related to lost production. After criticality analysis, the current maintenance strategy for top ranking assets is evaluated
