Abstract

This paper presents an advanced model for the integrated management for industrial plant maintenance and equivalent. The proposed model achieves to align the local maintenance objectives with the overall business objectives. Additionally, the model provides a real operational context and takes consideration of certain restrictions that may affect the efficiency and/or the effectiveness of the industrial maintenance management. First, the importance of a proper maintenance management and its consequences are discussed. Then, the model will describe in seven stages how to manage and optimize in a continuous way all the processes that deal with planning, programming and maintenance execution. This starts from a management process in the design stage or, from an already established management process. Moreover, the model includes fundamental aspects that fully integrate the directives of the business with maintenance activities. This article ends with conclusions and all references used during the research process prior to the drafting of this document.
