Abstract :
A set of technical, administrative and management activities done during the
life cycle of equipment in order to improve its condition and functioning to a
proper and expected level is called maintenance management system (MMS).
The framework and models of assessment in order to enhance effectiveness of a
MMS could be proposed in two categories: qualitative and quantitative. In this
research, the self-assessment’s dimensions of MMS which affect the successful
implementation of this system in companies have been established and
examined. This research uses a case study and review methodology (second
hand material such as TPM, ISO 14224 and IEC 60300-3-14 and RAMS model)
to extract dimensions, related indices and issues about how MMS must be
measured and self-assessed these dimensions and indices. According to surveys
and studies done by the authors the common dimensions of frameworks and
models for evaluating MMS have been determined which includes; maintenance
organization, training programs in maintenance, maintenance reporting,
reliability engineering, maintenance – general practices, financial optimization,
asset care continuous improvement, maintenance contracting, document
management, the safety level of work environment, maintenance inventory and
purchasing, predictive maintenance (PdM), maintenance work orders,
maintenance planning and scheduling, maintenance automation(CMMS),
operations/ facilities involvement on running of maintenance programs,
preventive maintenance (PM) and maintenance quality management (MQM).
Additionally, this paper presented a self-assessment framework based on the
above mentioned topics for evaluation and placement of the MMS according to
the total score obtained in a Wireman pyramid. Then, according to the review of
the literature, the appropriate indicators for each dimension of evaluation have
been extracted and the framework has been tested in a petrochemical company.
