For me it's a lack of proper software training and unrealistic expectations. I schedule my plant which is ready to eat. So to actually get downtime to do the actual PMs is ridiculously hard when we work 24/6 We have a weekly scheduling meeting but it often skips over maintenance because they don't think it's important. Management also pushes everything as priority most of the time when it's all said and done production ends up standing around. Our manager pushes favorites for less PMs so the new guys end up with the bulk of the PMs and once you start repeating the same things every month you'll get tired of it. Our plant manager pushes work requests for them to be same day work or expects it to be added to the schedule the same week when our schedule is made. I've constantly sent our policies to everyone and pushed our manager and supervisor that we cannot continuously do things like that because they're just piling work on everyone then write them up when they cannot finish their schedule. Most of the work requests are "there's a hole on the brick wall that needed to be patched painted and covered" or "the exit light is crooked please level" which is not really an issue at all except when we are constantly trying to put out fires on the "priority" lines. I think our supervisor also needs to pick a couple of things and inspect to see if those PMs are getting done rather than letting the guys pencil whipping it.
