Maintenance Management Framework

"e;The Maintenance Management Framework"e; describes and reviews the concept, process and framework of modern maintenance management of complex systems; concentrating specifically on modern modelling tools (deterministic and empirical) for maintenance planning and scheduling. It presents a new perspective of maintenance management by: focusing on the course of maintenance actions; presenting a structure that ensures proper support for current maintenance managers; clarifying the functionality that is required from information technology when applied to maintenance and the functions of modern maintenance engineering; and creating a set of practical models for maintenance management planning and scheduling. The discussion of all of these issues is supported through the use of case studies. "e;The Maintenance Management Framework"e; will be beneficial for engineers and professionals involved in: maintenance management, maintenance engineering, operations management, quality, etc. It will also be of interest to graduate students and researchers in this field.
