Proper maintenance planning is required to ensure the upkeep for buildings. However, maintenance of university buildings are often plague with challenges such as poor maintenance, increasing maintenance backlogs and insufficiency of budget allocation. Thus, maintenance prioritisation is practiced as part of the solution to these challenges. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of issues and factors related to maintenance prioritisation through literature review. It discusses the issues faced by maintenance manager in deciding priorities for maintenance work. The consideration for factors when deciding maintenance priorities is also presented in this paper. While there are a lot factors listed in previous literatures, this paper attempts to provide a general guideline for the factors that are considered in setting maintenance priorities. These factors are organisation's objective, risk, performance measurement, resources, and stakeholders. By following and incorporating these factors in deciding priorities, a maintenance programme can be designed to achieve better maintenance planning in universities.

This research focused on the 2001 organizational change at the Naval Postgraduate School. The purpose was to identify how change was approached and implemented. Our analysis revealed that this change process implemented across the organization affected the intensity of sub-cultural conflict within the organization. In the case of NPS, we found that an authoritarian military style of change negatively impacted the existing academic subculture. The pressure of a change effort that was not representative of both subcultures served to increase the intensity of conflict between the military and academic subcultures, thus jeopardizing the ability for the two to work together. This study contributes to and amplifies existing theory through the examination of organizational change in a unique military/academic environment. It is important for change agents to understand how these factors are interrelated so that the intensity of cultural conflict can be better managed. NUMBER OF PAGES SUBJECT TERMS
Abstract. Proper maintenance prioritization enables organization to ensure their maintenance performance remains in the acceptable level. This paper aims to examine the relevant literature related to maintenance priority. Based on this paper, a conceptual framework and future research directions are presented. A database of 184 publications published during 1990 to 2015 was reviewed for the purpose of this paper. The literature review presented the factors used in maintenance priority, methods for priority setting, and the trend of maintenance priority. A discussion was carried out on the maintenance priority based on organisation goal and balancing maintenance priority. Based on this literature review, a conceptual framework, which presents the facets of factors and methods considered in maintenance priority setting is offered. The understanding of factors and methods considered in maintenance priority setting can aid maintenance managers in maintenance planning and ensure maintenance performance of the assets remains compliant with the needs of the organization.
