Sommario/riassunto |
|
Maintenance is an essential function in any successful operations. Today, it is enhancing its contribution to companies' competitiveness and profitability thanks to relevant innovations achieved by advanced methodologies, services and technologies. A leading concept is becoming Maintenance Engineering, an increasingly important topic which covers wide range of related application areas. Maintenance Engineering aims at investigating how engineering theories and practices can improve maintenance plans in order to impact dependability and asset management performance, which in turn facilitate the |
