Background
The effectiveness of the Maintenance of a Production Plant lies in its ability of assuring a certain required level of technical availability, and optimizing the entrepreneurial productivity and flexibility and the product’s quality itself. All the maintenance actions shall comply with defined strategic company goals andorganizational schemes.
Specific Aims
The aim of this subject is to acquaint the students with an integrated overall view of concepts, techniques and strategies most commonly used in Maintenance Management.
