Implication

Methodological evaluation demonstrates risk reduction in industrial machinery fleets, suggesting improved maintenance practices.

Key Points

The study aims to develop a framework for assessing machinery fleet risk and test a panel-data model for measuring risk reduction.
Compiled longitudinal dataset from maintenance logs, incident reports, and operational records.
Utilized a fixed-effects panel regression model to analyze systematic interventions.
Isolated influence of maintenance interventions, machinery age, and utilization on risk.
Structured preventive maintenance led to a 22.5% reduction in major incident risk.
The reduction in risk was statistically significant (p < 0.01, 95% CI: 17.1% to 27.9%).
Machine age and utilization intensity were positive predictors of operational risk.
