Report of the "Maintenance in China" 2012-2013 survey

Dear Members, Dear Friends,

The China Italy Chamber of Commerce is pleased to inform you about the publication of the report of the “Maintenance in China” 2012-2013 survey.

The survey provides a snapshot of the current maintenance management practices of industrial companies in China and of their improvement plans in the near future.

The maintenance in China has being running every two years since 2006. From March to December 2012, Siveco China conducted the fourth edition in cooperation with two academic partners Beihang Sino-French Engineering School (a joint program between Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and France’s Centrale Graduate School) and Sino-European School of Technology of Shanghai University (a joint program between Shanghai University and the French Universities of Technology). Various international chambers of commerce, business associations, as well as several business partners, distributed the survey to their members: China-Italia Chamber of Commerce, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, French Chamber of Commerce in China, German Chamber of Commerce in china, JFPS Group, Kunshan Expat Association, Qingdao International Business Association, Technopro Engineering.

The survey covered 1,569 respondents, 834 different companies, a total estimated 1,200 sites all over China. 55% are process manufacturers (mostly chemicals), 39% discreet manufacturers, 6% non-manufacturers.
The survey is dominated by mid-size (72%) international (84%) manufacturers.

In conclusion, maintenance remains vastly under-optimized in China, which represents a significant risk for manufacturers there is however an increasing of awareness of the issue, with a clear need for management tools and for support currently not offered by corporate programs.

In 2013 maintenance improvement represents a new priority for manufacturers in China and a “low-hanging fruit” with good ROI potential.
