For prevention of failure and extension of maintenance interval, many Asian power companies have continuously tried to apply Condition Based Maintenance system to their plants. However, only few companies succeed to change their maintenance system from fixed time based to equipment condition based, although there are many brand new ITs, such as high speed computing system, huge storage device, and advanced development software tools. This paper describes the reasons why they failed to change and proposes the solutions to construct maintenance management system based on equipment condition. The solutions were also applied practically to power plant in Korea.

The maintenance system of high-speed military tracked vehicles and the graphic original interpretation of maintenance activity (mainly maintenance) are described. A modification of the maintenance system of the above-mentioned vehicles based on dependability-oriented maintenance (Reliability Cantered Maintenance – RCM) is proposed. Additionally, the use of the statistical analysis of maintenance cases and the development of Computerised Maintenance Management System – CMMC are proposed as well.

PurposeHeritage buildings, as any other buildings are subject to decay and deterioration. This issue increases significantly when a country undergoes complicated circumstances of unrest, as is the case in Iraq. The purpose of this study is to rethink the maintenance approach to heritage buildings in Iraq from a systematic management standpoint. It proposes the development of a management system through the functions of proper planning, organizing, directing and controlling. The study aims to scrutinize the weak areas of performance in the investigated work process in Iraq and provide suggestions to address them.Design/methodology/approachThe paper opted for an exploratory study, using interviews with responsible people in Iraqi heritage buildings administration to investigate the procedures applied on maintenance work for the heritage buildings. Besides, maintenance reports were reviewed and three case studies of buildings recently assigned for maintenance were visited and examined to identify the current course of actions at work and to uncover the points of weakness and strength.FindingsThe researchers identified a kind of unreal planning in the maintenance process, which appeared to be a manifestation of corrective maintenance (CM) rather than a preventive one. Such an aspect was highlighted due to several causes, among which most important were as follow (1) the lack of sufficient allocated budgets and (2) the shortage of hand labor and building technicians in this field, including professionals with an architectural training background, who could make practical choices to heritage maintenance thus preventing improper solutions that would harm the authenticity of the asset. Such factors could be mitigated if a good maintenance management system is to be adopted. A proposed system is hereby suggested, upgrading the current guideline and laws by the specialized authorities in addition to recommending the application of digital documentation.Originality/valueThis paper fulfills an identified need to study how maintenance management system can be applied for heritage buildings

Despite the many advantages, each type of transport, there are many people for the health and life of people. This means that some of the challenges that are not productive have higher energy levels. Substitution of the instrument's characteristics. Management of the fleet of tourist company arders enabling the company to improve and client's operational affairs on the elements of reliability, service compliance, readiness and security (RAMS). The RAMS method used in railway transport has found application in monitoring the maintenance of railway vehicles in maintenance management system and the IRIS Standard. In the article, the authors present the method of assessing the technical maintenance of road vehicles based on the elements used in the RAMS analysis.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the most important areas of maintenance management system for heavy industries for helping maintenance mangers to focus on measuring the effectiveness of maintenance system. This work aimed at inferring relationships between maintenance management, maintenance practices and maintenance improvement. Design/methodology/approach – In relation to maintenance management, as a case study approach, it can be applied to continuous improvement maintenance systems through 15 maintenance process areas. Findings – The general picture evidences some criticalities, such as those areas which help in the success of maintenance management and areas which lead to the failure of maintenance management. It was found that by using the maintenance management system in the cement industry, it was possible to measure and improve about 15 percent maintenance performance which can be achieved by enhancing maintenance in the suggested areas. Practical implications – Continuous maintenance improvement (CMI) is an ongoing effort to improve maintenance aimed at maintenance process simplification and reduction or elimination of maintenance process waste. To support CMI, maintenance engineers continually examine maintenance processes to discover and eliminate problems. Originality/value – Other researchers have reported on the maintenance management system, but most of them have focussed on limited areas. The lack of useful and practical research has been determined. It seems that the scientific knowledge of maintenance management still needs more effort. This study is one of the first in-depth studies into actual condition-based maintenance practice to test 15 maintenance process areas.

The importance and the role of the maintenance process are based on keeping the equipment and systems in an operative state of readiness. On the other hand, the knowledge of legislative framework, as well as the learning the practical skills lead to the successful application of the maintenance programs within the organizations. Regarding these aspects, the present paper addresses the topic of maintenance onboard ships. The general legislative framework for management and execution of the maintenance process specific to the maritime domain is presented, as well as the methods implemented onboard ships. It is described how to perform the maintenance of the equipment for a special ship using a computer maintenace management softwere. The study takes into account the constructive features, the equipment and the missions of the ship.

In the construction industry plant and equipment one of the important and main sources is to increase productivity of the project. To keep available the plant and equipment need all of technical, administrative, managerial action during the whole life cycle of the project. The study investigates about issue of plant and equipment maintenance management in Malaysian Construction Companies. The aim of this research paper is to improve the efficiency of plant and equipment maintenance management in Selangor construction industry by using Computerize Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The initial stage of the study involved comprehensive literature reviews to gather the data about importance of maintenance, previous implemented maintenance system and types of maintenance system as well as information about Computerize Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Quantitative research approach was adopted through questionnaire surveys. The analysis method is mainly derived from descriptive analysis. Thus, this paper explored the potential application to reduce total downtime and failure of plant and equipment by improving the effectiveness of maintenance management system. This system is computer based program simplifies and decease the duration of finding fault compare to the presently used paper-based reporting.
