The approach to maintenance science considers not only its technological state of art in the preservation of the fixed assets, but also the conception, planning and construction of ways of production and their maintenance policies.
It is necessary to discuss, define, and implement a maintenance system that considers:
| › Equipment availability, reliability and maintainability; |
› Energy generation, distribution and conservation; |
| › Maintenance Costs; |
› Occupational health and insurance. |
| › Environmental Preservation; |
For such purpose, there is a selection of concepts, processes and techniques pertinent to each asset, such as:
| › Organizational Structures; |
› Replacement Parts; |
| › Reliability; |
› Maintenance professionals. |
| › Maintainability; |
› Maintenance-free equipment; |
| › Failure rates x life cycle; |
› Telematic; |
| › Forms of maintenance; |
› Electronically processed information systems; |
| › Technical Assistance; |
|
Also to be discussed, defined and implemented are the procedures referring to the 5 S´s (Sorting, Storing, Shining, Standardising, Sticking to the rules) and to the autonomous maintenance.
