The second part to this discussion will cover why it is so hard to demonstrate the value of Maintenance and explore ways to make it a little easier.
The 'Future For' and the 'Value Of' Maintenance
Maintenance - Where to from Here?
Over the last twenty years, there have been lots of words spoken and written about maintenance and its associated initiatives. The Mainstream conference archives are a great example of this and this year’s agenda is testimony to it. Over the period many initiatives have been marketed as “game changers” in all aspects from approaches to technology across the whole maintenance gamut with, at best, mediocre success. That is not to say that the discipline as a whole has not progressed as it obviously has but to say it should have progressed much further in line with all the promises given.
Maintenance Value - Why is it So Hard to Demonstrate?
One of the perennial hot topics when maintenance practitioners get together is how to develop and sell a sound business case to the decision makers. There is generally no shortage of things to get done but developing a value proposition and articulating a coherent and persuasive business case seems to elude most of us.
