You list everything the maintenance team looks after and then determine how much it would cost to replace it with identical equipment. A common definition of RAV involves a theoretical fire \u2014 RAV answers this question: if your manufacturing plant burnt to the ground, what would it cost to replace everything?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">RAV can be an important number for the accounting and finance departments. But for maintenance professionals, RAV is valuable only as part of a simple calculation, the replacement asset value formula, which you can use to benchmark your maintenance program.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">RAV versus other evaluation methods<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In asset-heavy industries, Replacement Asset Value (RAV) offers a distinct approach to valuation, focusing on the cost of replacing an asset with a similar one at the end of its lifespan. Unlike market-based valuations, which assess an asset\u2019s current selling price, RAV considers all costs needed to restore functionality, including repairs and updates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This makes RAV particularly useful for planning around essential, high-value assets where operational continuity is crucial.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For instance, a manufacturing company relying on RAV can set funds aside to replace critical machinery before it fails,<a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/reduce-downtime\/\"> reducing downtime<\/a> risks and maintaining productivity. RAV is also valuable in fast-evolving sectors like technology and healthcare, where frequent advancements demand forward-thinking replacements to maintain competitiveness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With RAV, companies can budget for future upgrades, ensuring access to modern equipment without frequent, disruptive overhauls. This approach not only supports consistent performance but also helps businesses stay at the forefront of their industries.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What is the RAV formula and how do you calculate it?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The RAV formula, like RAV, is simple. You divide the total annual maintenance costs (MC) by the RAV and then multiply by 100. The result of the formula is a percentage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The RAV formula = MC\/RAV X 100\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s why another common name for the formula is MC\/RAV %.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">How the RAV calculation works<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your maintenance costs for the year are $10,000 and your current RAV is $100,000, the MC\/RAV is 10%. Another way to think about it is that it would take ten years to spend as much on maintenance as the asset is currently worth.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But there\u2019s a bit of complexity hiding behind the calculation. Using the RAV formula is simple, but calculating RAV is not straightforward.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How should you calculate the RAV and MC for assets and equipment?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Carefully and consistently.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To get actionable insights into your maintenance program, you need an accurate RAV.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Start by finding all associated costs for an asset\u2019s replacement, including:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Procurement: Price, taxes, shipping\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Installation: Labor, renovations, expansions\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Training: Upskilling, testing\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Disposal: Removal, fees\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When looking at price, factor in age. For a relatively new facility, use the capital costs plus annual inflation. If something cost you a million dollars three years ago, you need to add three years\u2019 worth of inflation to see what replacement would cost in \u201ctoday\u2019s dollars.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For older facilities, you must apply both depreciation and inflation to get your RAV. The good news is that the accounting or finance departments likely already have all these numbers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember that your numbers age out of accuracy, and you can\u2019t always rely on inflation and depreciation to update them. Instead, you need to go out periodically and check the current market prices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An asset stops depreciating at a steady rate if the market introduces an innovation that renders older models obsolete. For instance, an asset losing only a few percentage points of value a year might suddenly drop if it lacks the efficiency or safety standards of newer offerings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, your horse and buggy would depreciate at a slow and steady annual pace until cars became more reliable, widely available, and affordable. At that point, you would need to recalibrate your numbers. That buggy is suddenly worth much less than it was the year before.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Calculating MC follows the same basic steps. Take all the costs associated with maintenance, and add them up, including:\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Labor\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Parts and materials\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Preventive maintenance\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Repairs\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Troubleshooting and testing\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On top of being careful when calculating MC and RAV, you also need to be consistent. Once you establish a system, you need to follow it. So, if last year you used an average hourly rate for the collective labor costs, you need to do the same thing this year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It\u2019s important to have numbers that are both accurate and precise. An accurate number of as close as possible to the actual value. Precise means your system for measuring tends to produce similar results.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can you use your MC\/RAV % as a world-class benchmark?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can, but you have to be careful.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The commonly suggested target is your maintenance costs equal to 2% of the cost to replace your assets and equipment. So, if replacing your plant costs a million dollars, you should be spending $20,000 a year to maintain it. And at 2%, you get 50 years of maintenance before spending the value of your assets.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The challenge when using the replacement asset value formula, according to Ron Moore, BSME, MSME, MBA, PE, and CMRP, in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assetmanagementprofessionals.org\/blogs\/santiago-tamayo\/2024\/06\/21\/maintenance-costs-as-a-percent-of-asset-replacemen\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">an article for Asset Management Professionals<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is ensuring you\u2019re not inadvertently comparing apples to oranges when looking at asset and <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/inventory-management-guide\/\">maintenance costs<\/a> across different industries.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, in a lightly regulated industry, you might have lower maintenance costs simply because there are fewer inspection requirements involving expensive tools and training.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In a chemical plant, for example, your maintenance costs will always be generally higher than at a plastics factory. And the maintenance costs for aircraft, where <a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/reliability\/\">reliability<\/a> basically beats all other considerations, are higher than at a food processing plant.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhile there are similarities across many industries, the details of the design, operations, maintenance, capital cost, and regulatory environment, among other factors, make useful comparisons difficult,\u201d he explains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, when using the RAV formula as an industry benchmark for your maintenance operations, make sure you\u2019re looking specifically at maintenance in your industry, not the industry of maintenance.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Using RAV for data-driven decisions to control maintenance costs<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can do this but, again, you have to be careful.

Remember, you can cut maintenance costs right now by doing less maintenance, including the inspections and tasks you should be doing to avoid trouble down the road, so on paper you\u2019re saving money. It\u2019s only later when it all comes back to bite you.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That\u2019s why, as a rule, you need to see individual metrics inside the context of all your other maintenance metrics, Moore warns.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAll the measures are interrelated and impact each other&#8230; If you focus most of your energy on achieving a superior level of performance in one area, you will likely damage those in other areas and damage the overall performance of the business&#8230; You could drive down your spare parts inventory levels, only to not have them when needed, delaying maintenance and making it more expensive, and losing production and profits.\u201d<\/span> <span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can also use MC\/RAV % to help you<a href=\"https:\/\/eptura.com\/discover-more\/blog\/repair-or-replace-assets-cmms-software\/\"> make repair-or-replace decisions<\/a> on a single asset. Remember, when you\u2019re at 2%, it would take 50 years for the cost of maintenance to equal the replacement cost for an asset. But at 20%, it\u2019s only five.
