Maintenance management is about scheduling and performing maintenance work on a periodic cycle based on time or cycles (preventive maintenance), providing condition based maintenance derived from information obtained from the equipment or inferred about the equipment (condition-based maintenance & predictive maintenance) and optimizing resource operating performance and efficiencies.
Maintenance management is a key component of asset management. It uses intelligent computer software to track resources such as labor, material and equipment. This information is used to make important decisions in improving maintenance management processes.
