Typical on-time compliance ranges by industry and maturity, and why the number means nothing without a defined window.
PM Compliance measures how much of your scheduled preventive and predictive maintenance actually gets done on time. This reference covers the consumption-based formula, the critical compliance window definition that most organizations never pin down, and why two honest people can report different compliance from the same data if their definitions differ.
The benchmarks are organized two ways: by program maturity (reactive under 60%, developing 60% to 80%, proactive 80% to 90%, world-class 90%+) and by industry (Aviation 95% to 100%, Oil and Gas 90% to 98%, Transportation 85% to 95%, Utilities 85% to 95%, Nuclear 98% to 100%). Each includes context on why the range is what it is and what drives the number in that sector.
The reference covers why you must read PM Compliance next to Reactive Work Percentage. If compliance climbs and reactive work falls, your PMs are doing their job. If compliance is high but reactive work stays high, either the compliance number is hollow or your PMs are the wrong PMs on the wrong assets at the wrong frequency. A high compliance number on its own is not proof of a healthy program.
