Abstract

Over the last decennia industrial maintenance has evolved from a non-issue into a strategic concern. Perhaps there are few other management disciplines that underwent so many changes over the last half-century. During this period, the role of maintenance within the organization has drastically been transformed. At first maintenance was nothing more than a mere inevitable part of production, now it is an essential strategic element to accomplish business objectives. Without a doubt, the maintenance function is better perceived and valued in organizations. One could considered that maintenance management is no longer viewed as an underdog function; now it is considered as an internal or external partner for success.
