    Notes: The contemporary business environment has raised the strategic importance of the maintenance function in organizations which have significant investment in physical assets. Four strategic dimensions of maintenance management are identified, namely service-delivery options, organization and work structuring, maintenance methodology and support systems. The alternatives available are reviewed: the guidelines for selection of these alternatives, the key decision areas in each of the four dimensions, as well as the critical success factors for the transformation process are discussed. The two factors that permeate in these strategic dimensions are human factors and information flow; the latter can be made more efficient by embracing the e-maintenance model.

    Measuring maintenance performance: a holistic approach (1999)

    Notes: Performance measures should be linked to an organization's strategy in order to provide useful information for making effective decisions and shaping desirable employee behaviour. The pitfalls relating to the indiscriminate use of common maintenance performance indicators are discussed in this paper. It also reviews four approaches to maintenance performance measures. The value-based performance measure evaluates the impact of maintenance activities on the future value of the organization. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) provides a framework for translating strategy into operational measures that collectively capture the critical requirements for sustaining the organization's success. System audits are the tool for measuring organizational culture, which in turn determines the appropriate approach to the organization of maintenance functions. The operational efficiency of an organization's maintenance function can be benchmarked with those of its counterparts in other organizations by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Among these approaches, the one which builds on the BSC embraces the design principles of a good performance measurement system. To smooth the adoption of the BSC approach to managing maintenance operations, a related research agenda is proposed in the concluding section.

    Sourcing strategies of facilities management (2004)

    Notes: In this study, four sourcing strategies are identified in the delivery of maintenance service in facilities management, namely in-sourcing, out-tasking, outsourcing for cost saving, and outsourcing for capability. Since each of these strategies has merits under specific circumstances, a framework for the selection of appropriate sourcing strategy in particular situations is presented. This framework, which takes into consideration both the scope and purpose of the sourcing decision, was developed on the basis of results of earlier research and has been validated by the findings obtained from interviews with practitioners in exemplary organizations. This paper also provides guidelines for implementing the selected sourcing option, along with discussion of the related strategic and operational issues.

    A strategic approach to managing maintenance performance (1998)

    Notes: Performance of the maintenance function is typically measured for operational control purposes. Since maintenance also has a strategic dimension, its performance measurement system should be linked to the espoused strategy of the function in order to get the maximum impact. This paper presents a structured approach to managing maintenance performance developed from this premise. The measurement system features a balanced scorecard (BSC) composed of key performance indicators (KPIs). The BSC is used to inform employees of the strategy pursued by the maintenance function, and to track the effectiveness of action plans in meeting the strategic objectives. The various steps involved in the process are also discussed.

    TPM implementation in China: a case study (2000)

    Notes: Total productive maintenance (TPM) is an innovative approach to maintenance which holds the potential for enhancing effectiveness of production facilities. It demands significant change of work culture and radical restructuring of work. Introducing TPM in operations located in developing countries, such as mainland China, is a major challenge because the environment is typically traditional and unfavourable to the transformation. This paper presents a case study of TPM implementation in such an environment - a high-precision machining factory in mainland China. The workforce in the factory consists primarily of migrant workers who are driven by instant gratification, and who are passive and hesitant to take new challenges. None of these characteristics is conducive to TPM. A three-phase programme was adopted by the factory to implement the change. The first two phases of the programme have been completed, producing significant improvement in production performance. While the advanced stage of the multi-year programme is still in progress, the lessons so far learned from the change initiative are discussed.

    Volumetric properties of normal fluids at low temperatures: An extension of Pitzer's generalized correlation (1973)
    Hoboken, NJ : Wiley-Blackwell
    AIChE Journal 19 (1973), S. 748-752

    Notes: The three-parameter tabular correlation of Pitzer et al. for calculating the compressibility factor of pure components has been extended to lower temperatures in the region where Tr is from 0.5 to 0.80 and Pr is from 0 to 9. The compressibility-factor is expressed linearly in the acentric factor Z = Z(0) + ωZ(1) with values of Z(0) and Z(1) tabulated in terms of Tr and Pr. The generalized correlation has been tested for 21 compounds with a total number of 463 data points. The average deviations in the calculated compressibility factors are 1.63% for the compressed liquids and 0.67% for the gases.
