The Most Complete, Current Guide to Every Aspect of Maintenance Engineering Extensively updated to cover the latest technologies and methods, Maintenance Engineering Handbook, Eighth Edition offers in-depth details on identifying and repairing faulty equipment. This definitive resource focuses on proven best practices for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), inventory management, root-cause…
This paper aims to evaluate the main business models used for airlines’ maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities and determine the activities to which these relate
Maintenance management is a core process in infrastructure asset management. Infrastructure organisations must constantly strive to ensure the effectiveness of this process in order to obtain the greatest lifetime value from their infrastructure assets. This paper aims to investigate how infrastructure organisations can enhance the effectiveness of their maintenance management process.
The purpose of this paper is to review the total quality management (TQM) philosophy and the quality management principles (QMPs) in facilities management (FM), and presents the findings of a recent FM study at the Port Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (PATT).

The purpose of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of different analytical approaches, namely artificial neural networks, logistic regression and support vector machines to assess the health of a strainer located at the suction side of the pump.
Features of the maintenance problem are compared to those of the year 2000 (Y2K) problem. Similarities found suggest that lessons learnt from examining each problem can be applied to the other. Aspects of responsibility, communication, decision making and prioritisation are investigated. Asserts that further research would identify other useful lessons learned from other disciplines. Considers …
High reliability, maintainability, safety and supportability are expected from today’s modern systems. In the recent years supportability has been widely accepted as a major factor in logistics discipline. The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how advanced mathematical models can be used to analyse the effect of supportability on systems availability. The paper discusses supportabi…
The purpose of this paper is to describe aspects of content sharing within e-maintenance, with a view to merging the two areas of maintenance and ICT in a content management perspective.
The purpose of this paper is to describe a taxonomy for an eMaintenance management framework (eMMF) based on a service-oriented approach, in order to facilitate the development of information and communication technology (ICT)-based maintenance support services aimed at actors within the maintenance process related to complex technical industrial systems.
This paper investigates the determinants of customer choice of a car maintenance service provider after the warranty period. It focuses on the alternative of using branded car dealers, who provide this service during the warranty period, or independent garages.
Service parts are needed for maintenance of industrial systems as well as for consumer products. Their logistics has an inherent difficulty: common models for inventory management are invalid, as the demand process is different and demand data scarce. The paper discusses experiences gained in case studies of practical stock control techniques. New concepts aimed to reduce the problem of slow mo…
Maintenance planning is a complicated decision-making process that involves the major stakeholders and the main life-cycle phases of an engineering system. The purpose of this paper is to propose an availability-centred maintenance planning approach for offshore wind farms, with special focus on the early system design phase.
In this paper, the authors propose the application of an intelligent engine to develop a set of computational schedules for the maintenance of vehicles to cover all scheduled flights. The aim of the paper is to maximize the utilization of ground support vehicles and enhance the logistics of aircraft maintenance activities.
Food production lines consist of several machines in series, and for that reason if a failure occurs in a machine some or all of the in-process material upstream of the failure will have to be scrapped due to quality deterioration during the stoppage, therefore the necessity of better maintenance strategy is required. This paper aims to address this issue.
The value of ISO 9000 and TQM are revisited, including the relationship with logistics strategy and the four pillars of TQM. The Japanese TQM experience is put under close scrutiny, which leads to the need for TQM model. A model called TQMEX standing for a TQM EXcellence Model has been developed based on sound TQM practices. Further to a previous survey conducted on 180 UK firms, another questi…
