Introduction

Planning, monitoring, and evaluating maintenance activities are essential for business success. If the goal is to achieve a world-class organization, then the maintenance strategy plays a pivotal role in this mission, starting from business objectives. Maintenance strategy cannot be viewed in isolation but rather as an integral part of a comprehensive high-performance framework.

This workshop aims to introduce participants to scientific methods for performance evaluation in maintenance management, study modern systems in maintenance engineering, and review both quantitative and qualitative indicators for measuring the effectiveness of maintenance activities. By applying this knowledge, organizations will gain valuable feedback to address deficiencies and enhance operational efficiency.
