Abstract
Modern production machines require a new approach towards the maintenance “problem”. Maintenance engineers realise this and are eager to implement new philosophies/ techniques/methodologies that come available. The problem is that most of these are part solutions and cannot produce the required results when not used in its larger (maintenance) managerial context. These philosophies/techniques/methodologies should be used as a part of a larger maintenance “plan”, which is strategically driven. Success follows by using a top down process of setting maintenance policy, enriching it with well thought through procedures and supporting it with a proper maintenance business plan.
