Supporting Implementation of Condition Based Maintenance: Highlighting the Interplay between Technical Constituents and Human & Organizational Factors

Publication Type:

Journal article

Venue:

Publisher:

Abstract

This article presents two case studies and theory on the topic of implementing a condition based maintenance approach. It visualizes that condition based maintenance, within Swedish industry, is utilized to a lesser degree than corrective and predetermined maintenance, and argues that one reason to this is the difficulties in implementation. It also argues that additional factors, beyond technical aspects within the condition based maintenance approach, are necessary to take into consideration if successful implementation is to be achieved. The purpose of the two case studies was to investigate the process of implementing a condition based maintenance approach. The result of the investigation was compiled into a checklist with important factors to take into consideration when attempting to implement condition based maintenance within an industrial setting.
