Maintenance Planning, Scheduling and Work Control

Introduction

The maintenance of physical assets can no longer be treated as an engineering problem. The competitive environment in which business operates requires an approach that integrates the operational objectives of the business and the lifecycle objectives of the physical assets.

The effectiveness of asset management has not improved significantly in many organizations in spite of the implementation of powerful computerized management systems. Research shows that a lack of physical asset management skills at all levels of the maintenance and operations workforce lies at the core of the problem.
