TL;DR: The economic and political realities of the 1990s forced managers to reverse long-standing organizational cultures in order to reduce costs and energy expenditures in their organisations as discussed by the authors, and these can be achieved, with respect to maintenance, by replacing a reactive repair-focused attitude by a proactive reliability-focused culture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the ways in which Nigerian manufacturing industries can implement TPM as a strategy and culture for improving its performance and suggest self-auditing and bench-marking as desirable prerequisites before TPM implementation.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for the integration of RAMS and risk analysis can be developed as a guide in maintenance policies for the Afam thermal power station, in order to reduce the frequency of failures and maintenance costs.

TL;DR: A methodology for the development of PM using the modern approaches of FMEA, root-cause analysis, and fault-tree analysis is presented in this paper, which leads to a cost reduction in maintenance and less overall energy expenditure.

TL;DR: In this paper, five strategic aspects of maintenance management have been identified, namely maintenance methodology; support processes; organisation and work structuring; comparable culture; and general management policy, and three factors that permeate these dimensions are wise leadership, excellent communications and an understanding of the human factors involved.
