TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on maintenance management and suggest possible gaps from the point of view of researchers and practitioners is presented, where important issues in maintenance management range from various optimization models, maintenance techniques, scheduling and information systems.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on maintenance management and suggest possible gaps from the point of view of researchers and practitionersDesign/methodology/approach – The paper systematically categorizes the published literature and then analyzes and reviews it methodicallyFindings – The paper finds that important issues in maintenance management range from various optimization models, maintenance techniques, scheduling, and information systems etc Within each category, gaps have been identified A new shift in maintenance paradigm is also highlightedPractical implications – Literature on classification of maintenance management has so far been very limited This paper reviews a large number of papers in this field and suggests a classification in to various areas and sub areas Subsequently, various emerging trends in the field of maintenance management are identified to help researchers specifying gaps in the literature and direct research efforts suitablyOriginali

TL;DR: In this article, four strategic dimensions of maintenance management are identified, namely service delivery options, organization and work structuring, maintenance methodology and support systems, and the guidelines for selection of these alternatives, key decision areas in each of the four dimensions, as well as the critical success factors for the transformation process are discussed.
Abstract: The contemporary business environment has raised the strategic importance of the maintenance function in organizations which have significant investment in physical assets. Four strategic dimensions of maintenance management are identified, namely service‐delivery options, organization and work structuring, maintenance methodology and support systems. The alternatives available are reviewed: the guidelines for selection of these alternatives, the key decision areas in each of the four dimensions, as well as the critical success factors for the transformation process are discussed. The two factors that permeate in these strategic dimensions are human factors and information flow; the latter can be made more efficient by embracing the e‐maintenance model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review overall models for maintenance management from the viewpoint of one who believes that improvements can be made by regarding maintenance as a "contributor to profits" rather than "a necessary evil".
Abstract: Reviews overall models for maintenance management from the viewpoint of one who believes that improvements can be made by regarding maintenance as a “contributor to profits” rather than “a necessary evil”. The reasons why maintenance is such a “Cinderella function” are largely historical and can mostly be overcome by new information technology (IT) and its falling cost. Progress is now being held up by outdated notions of what is economically possible in data acquisition and analysis, and failure to revise basic maintenance and reliability concepts, some of which are now 30 years out‐of‐date. Integrated IT permits mathematical optimisation of supra‐departmental management decisions, e.g. co‐planning of production with maintenance, overhaul/renewal of machinery and improvement of product performance/quality. Life‐cycle profit (LCP) is a fair measure of overall effectiveness that emphasises the value rather than the cost of terotechnological activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wide variety of techniques commonly used to monitor the condition of mechanical systems are surveyed, and some of the decision models designed to address this type of inspection problem are discussed.
Abstract: The primary objective of equipment maintenance programmes is to preserve system functions in a cost‐effective manner. Surveys a wide variety of techniques commonly used to monitor the condition of mechanical systems. Reviews some of the decision models designed to address this type of inspection problem; concludes with some suggestions for future research directions in this type of decision problem.
