Abstract: Predicting maintenance labor productivity is crucial for effective planning and decision-making in the electricity industry. This paper aims at predicting maintenance labor productivity using various machine learning methods, utilizing a real-world case study from the electricity industry. Additionally, the study evaluates the performance of the employed machine learning methods. To meet this objective, 1750 productivity measures have been used to train (80%) and test (20%) prediction models using Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, and Multiple Linear Regression methods. The models' performance was evaluated based on the mean squared error, mean absolute percentage error, and testing time. The results indicated that the Artificial Neural Networks model - specifically, a feedforward network with a backpropagation algorithm - outperformed the other models (Multiple Linear Regression, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest). These results highlight the effectiveness of machine learning, particularly the Artificial Neural Networks prediction model, as an invaluable tool for decision-makers in the electricity industry, aiding in more effective maintenance planning and potential productivity improvement.
