Si la panne d'équipement est une cause majeure d'arrêt imprévu, surtout lorsque la maintenance réactive est la seule stratégie en place, d'autres facteurs y contribuent également : mauvaises pratiques de maintenance, erreurs des opérateurs, manque de formation adéquate et défaut de planification, qu'il s'agisse de la gestion des stocks ou des flux de travail.
