Maintenance Management

Maintenance management has grown and developed into a significant major strategy to ensure effective operation of plant and engineering systems whether or not within an automated environment. With the implementation of strategies such as "Just in Time" there is an increasing need for equipment to be available and function to suite planned production requirements and to perform to design specification. These developments have taken place over almost all industries and have been driven by the need to implement new technologies in order to survive in world markets.

Historically, maintenance has been associated with the cost of labour and spare parts. With the advert of modern technology however, other factors such as downtime and product quality can be key factors when measuring maintenance effectiveness. In addition, safety and environmental considerations are also now increasingly seen as important issues.
