Evolution of Maintenance51 To reduce overall equipment emergencies To reduce maintenance purchasing To provide a systematic approach for improving the efficiency of the production system by eliminating all losses To develop equipment, which are designed for maintainability and reliability to realize reduced life cycle cost To assure a good product quality through investigation, analysis and improvement of process, material andequipment conditions To aid in achieving zero accidents in a healthy and clean work environment and protect the natural environment To develop a flexible, multi-skilled organization with internal experts To optimise the maintenance cost and provide better services to operations through computer integratedmaintenance management systems (CIMMS), teamwork, use of latest tools and technologies etc.Comparison of various maintenance systemsThe various maintenance systems were compared and it is shown in Table 3. Different parameters have beenused for comparison and based on this comparison; it was found that, each of the maintenance systems hasits own advantages and disadvantages. It should be noted that no single maintenance systems is followed,but a combination of maintenance systems are followed in industries. Further the type of maintenance systemadopted by an organization depends on various factors and the important factors include type and cost ofmachine, type of process, product etc. Hence the objective of this comparison is to provide the practitionerswith a ready reference regarding different maintenance systems and thereby describe its characteristics in anutshell.ConclusionsIn this paper, different maintenance systems were described. In addition to this, a comparative analysis ofdifferent types of maintenance systems was carried out considering various factors. From the analysis, it wasevident that traditional maintenance systems such as breakdown or preventive or predictive maintenance etc.are not capable of satisfying the requirements of present day manufacturing systems and it was concluded thatthe present system of TPM needs to pave the way for the system called WMS.ReferencesBevilacqua, M & Braglia, M (2000),“The analytic hierarchy process applied to maintenance strategy selection”, Reliability Eng. & System Safety, Vol70 No1, pp. 71–83.Chan, F.T.S., Lau, H.C.W., Ip, R.W.L., Chan, H.K., Kong, S.
