Abstract
With increased global competition for manufacturing, many
companies are seeking ways to gain competitative advanges with
respect to cost, service, quality and on-time deliveries. The role
that effective maintenance management plays in contributing to
overall organizational productivity has received increased
attention. Trends and perspective in industrial maintenance are
presented. The result of benchmarking studies from Scandinavia and
United States are also presented and compared. Case studies that
examine maintenance methods, knowledge, organization and
information systems in three Danish manufacturing firms are used
to motivate the discussion.
