Technologies and tools for organizing the maintenance system

Abstract

The growth of global competition has led to significant changes in the way manufacturing companies operate. These changes have affected maintenance and made its role even more important for business success. To remain competitive, manufacturing companies must constantly improve the efficiency of their production processes. The fact that maintenance is becoming increasingly important for the industrial sector is evident from the ongoing discussions on national industrialization programs. At the same time, despite the growing demand for reliable production equipment, some manufacturers are engaged in the development of strategic services. Moreover, traditional maintenance strategies, such as reactive maintenance, are no longer sufficient to meet industrial needs, such as maximizing the reduction in failures and fatigue of production systems. This article presents an analysis of maintenance strategies. The review aims to point out the importance of unplanned downtime that may occur during the operation of the equipment at the production plant. To maintain the working condition of the machine, various maintenance strategies have been developed, among which the most popular are reactive maintenance, planned maintenance and condition-based maintenance. The predicted condition method is more effective for the maintenance of complex and responsible machines, but planned maintenance remains the most common maintenance program.
