Maintenance is conducted with aims to eliminate failures, reduce machine downtime, minimize manufacturing cost and improve production rate. Maintenance is one of the functions in asset management, and it covers the proper use of resources like human, information, materials, and capital to make certain that equipment, machinery, buildings and plant are repaired, replaced, adjusted, and modified to allow it to operate at its designated performance and in specified lifetime.
