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 Progress is now being held up by outdated notions of what is economically possible in data acquisition and analysis, and failure to revise basic maintenance and reliability concepts, some of which are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.read more

Maintenance management: literature review and directions
Amik Garg,S.G. Deshmukh +1 more
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.

Selecting the most efficient maintenance approach using fuzzy multiple criteria decision making
Basim Al-Najjar,Imad Alsyouf +1 more
TL;DR: Using the fuzzy MCDM, it would be possible to select in advance, the most informative (efficient) maintenance approach, which leads to less planned replacements, and failures would be reduced to approximately zero and higher utilization of component life can be achieved.

The role of maintenance in improving companies’ productivity and profitability
TL;DR: In this article, an effective maintenance policy could influence the productivity and profitability of a manufacturing process, and the main results of the case study performed at a Swedish paper mill showed that a paper-mill machine could, ideally, generate extra profit of at least 7.8 million Swedish kronor (SEK) (approximately US$ 0.975 million) per year, i.e. 12.5% of its yearly maintenance budget, if it avoids all unplanned stoppages and bad quality production due to maintenance-related causes.
BookDOI
Handbook of maintenance management and engineering
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of current Paradigms and Practices of applied maintenance models and apply them to real-world manufacturing systems. But they do not consider the impact of human error in maintenance.

Evaluation and improvement of manufacturing performance measurement systems ‐ the role of OEE
Patrik Jonsson,Magnus Lesshammar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify six requirements: what to measure, how to measure and what characteristics to measure in an overall manufacturing performance measurement system and the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) measure in such a system is assessed against these ideal requirements.

The Practice of Management
TL;DR: A classic since its publication in 1954, The Practice of Management was the first book to look at management as a whole and being a manager as a separate responsibility as mentioned in this paper. And it remains an essential book for students, aspiring managers and seasoned professionals.
Book
Practical Reliability Engineering
TL;DR: Practical Reliability Engineering as mentioned in this paper is the most widely used and widely used reliability textbook for engineering courses, with a focus on practical aspects of engineering, including mathematics of reliability, physics of failure, graphical and software methods of failure data analysis, reliability prediction and modelling.
