Content reviews optimize preventive maintenance (PM) strategy. However, reanalyzing strategy alone is pointless. Traditional PM optimization compares existing and revised PM’s at the final step. Ignoring preexisting source PM programs removes analysis bias, but makes implementation more difficult; continuity is lost. Baselining existing programs provides an alternative. PM changes are smaller, easier to control, and process oriented. Ineffective PM tasks can be removed with minor impact. Shop-floor ownership simplifies changes and speeds implementation, lowering costs. New maintenance development techniques improve upon older PM development processes, substantially reducing costs. Significant benefits can result in complex industrial maintenance applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
