Brito Purpose 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...

... are highlighted to ensure optimal practicality and incorporation of the model with other management practices in the process industry. In this respect physical asset management in the process industry has primarily focused on maintenance management models (Amadi‐Echendu, 2004 ; Hoskins et al., 1998, p...

... was to investigate the application of a unitary software structure, composed of the critical path method (CPM), materials requirements planning (MRP) and production activity control (PAC) techniques, to the management of large‐scale maintenance activities (specifically aircraft maintenance). This structure had...

... a maintenance management information system (MMIS). The experiences of four case organizations that had recently introduced an MMIS are studied. The knowledge acquired was categorised according to a structure by Bohn, and the benefits which accrued from the MMIS were classified using a benefits ladder developed...

...Leonard Fortuin; Harry Martin 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...

... maintenance performance indicators are discussed in this paper. It also reviews four approaches to maintenance performance measures. The value‐based performance measure evaluates the impact of maintenance activities on the future value of the organization. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) provides a framework...

...G. Bellandi; R. Dulmin; V. Mininno In order to obtain a correct failure diagnosis and to prepare more effective maintenance programmes, it is essential to have reliable forecasts about the trend of equipment and machinery failure rate. In this work attention is focused on the transport sector...

...Noemi M. Paz; William Leigh Productivity, based on estimated and actual hours, of most maintenance workers is only 30 to 50 per cent. Given the significance of maintenance to manufacturing competitiveness, it is surprising how little research is being carried out. Scheduling is a crucial component...

...A. Raouf Manufacturing companies are under pressure to minimize production costs. Reducing downtime and minimizing maintenance costs are the traditional approach. Improving production equipment effectiveness as prescribed in total productive maintenance (TPM) is a relatively recent development...

...S.O. Duffuaa; M. Ben‐Daya Deals with planning the maintenance scheduling of a group of non‐identical production units. Develops a realistic model for the joint overhaul problem by incorporating the cost of co‐ordination. The model selects overhaul schedules that minimize the average total cost...

...Moncer Hariga Addresses a deterministic maintenance‐scheduling problem for a group of non‐identical machines. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer non‐linear program which is approached heuristically. In the model formulation, it is assumed that a major overhaul brings the machine back...

...C.W. Gits Maintenance control deals with the co‐ordination of maintenance demand and resources in such a way that stated objectives are satisfied. This allocation problem is characterized by complexity, uncertainty and flexibility. These conditions warrant a hierarchical decision structure...

...Muhammad A.H. Ikhwan; Farhat A. Burney Analyses the system of work in the maintenance departments of 59 Saudi industries and services. The sample includes 13 manufacturing, 12 metals, nine chemical and 25 other industries and services. The data were collected by a specially designed survey. Results...
