New Maintenance Management Topics

Abstract

This chapter deals with new topics in maintenance management. The need for maintenance as a result of changes in the substantial environment of organisations increases. Based on current maintenance problems in organisations and social and environmental needs of society, key management trends can be deduced through the system analysis. It follows a large area of quite changing legislation. The field of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things and so on also come into play in maintenance. The chapter is also based on the practice of authors in this field. It therefore affects the area of production equipment, human resources, software support, costs and the material base. Maintenance management risks are also significant. Without clear trends, organisations cannot direct their strategy and thereby effectively manage their own maintenance. This chapter is intended to help organisations strengthen their overall competitiveness through maintenance management.
