To evaluate the impact of enhanced preventive maintenance strategies on risk reduction in industrial machinery fleets.
Randomized field trial conducted with 100 industrial enterprises in Rwanda
Enterprises assigned to standard maintenance or enhanced preventive maintenance strategy
Data collection involved machinery performance metrics, maintenance records, and operational disruption reports
Enhanced preventive maintenance reduced machinery breakdowns by 25% (p < 0.01)
Resulted in a 15% decrease in overall operating costs for participating enterprises
Demonstrated efficacy of improved fleet management system in reducing operational risks
