“…Underlying this argument it is important to explore the impact of quality management orientation on maintenance performance. Furthermore, it has been acknowledged by many authors that maintenance is a major contributor to the performance and profitability of manufacturing systems (Al-Najjar and Alsyouf 2003, Al-Najjar and Alsyouf 2004, Parida and Kumar 2006, Kans and Ingwald 2008. Selecting an appropriate maintenance policy (Chan and Prakash 2012) is essential for companies to maintain their competitiveness, and to consider the "soft" aspects (i.e.…”

This paper aims to examine the relationship between quality management orientation dimensions and maintenance performance. The concept of quality management orientation is proposed and defined as a set of norms and values regarding customer orientation, quality responsibility, prevention, and process orientation. Empirical data was drawn from a sample of Slovenian organizations in order to address the research question. The data was analysed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The findings indicate that quality management orientation is important predictor of maintenance performance. Data analysis results also show that quality management orientation dimensions are positively related to maintenance performance. By testing the impact of quality management orientation on maintenance performance, this study shows that strong foundation on quality management orientation is an effective way of improving maintenance performance.

“…This strategy is based on periodically planned actions performed on the equipment intended to prevent unscheduled downtime and premature equipment damage (Al-Najjar 1999;Mann et al 1995;Mobley 2004). Preventive maintenance is a widely used strategy and also called time-based preventive maintenance (Wang et al 2007).…”

Decision-making is the process of finding the best option among the feasible alternatives. In classical multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, the ratings and the weights of the criteria are known precisely. However, if decision makers cannot reach an agreement on the method of defining linguistic variables based on the fuzzy sets, the interval-valued fuzzy set theory can provide a more accurate modeling. In this paper, the interval-valued fuzzy ELECTRE method is presented aiming at solving MCDM problems in which the weights of criteria are unequal, using interval-valued fuzzy set concepts. For the purpose of proving the validity of the proposed model, we present a numerical example and build a practical maintenance strategy selection problem.

“…Results of the search show different works that have dealt with topics related to these keywords (e.g. Al-Najjar et al, 2004;Muchiri et al, 2011;Parida and Chattopadhyay, 2007). In this regard, various maintenance performance measures were identified from these studies.…”

“…Moreover, in a study (Ljungberg, 1998) author found that the mean percentage of OEE within the investigated cases was 55 percent. Therefore, industry could increase its performance and production capacity without investing in new machinery if an efficient maintenance policy would be implemented (Al-Najjar and Alsyouf, 2004).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to apply an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for the evaluation/selection of maintenance policy. Methodology/Approach: The paper adopts a case study approach of selecting most appropriate maintenance policy in the case of Slovenian paper mill company. Several steps of the AHP method are used in order to structure the decisionmaking process. Five possible alternatives are considered: failure based maintenance, preventive maintenance, total productive maintenance, reliability centered maintenance and total quality maintenance. Findings: This paper proposes a framework for maintenance policy selection based on the AHP methodology. The framework was applied to select the most appropriate maintenance policy in a paper mill company. The results suggest that total quality maintenance is the most suitable concept for a paper machine. By performing a sensitivity analysis, it was revealed that the final outcome remained stable in all cases when the weights of the main criteria were increased for 25 percent. Originality/value: The paper contributes to the literature by providing a framework for decision-making process regarding the maintenance policy selection. In addition, this paper utilizes an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart for performing a consistency test. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis also presents an important implication of this study.
