A Maintenance Management Expert System (MMES) was developed for hospitals and manufacturing firms. This system enhances maintenance effectiveness through modules for work orders, equipment, and materials.

Area of Science:

  • Engineering Management
  • Computer Science
  • Operations Research

Background:

  • Effective maintenance management is crucial for operational efficiency in both healthcare and manufacturing sectors.
  • Existing systems may lack integrated functionalities for comprehensive maintenance oversight.
  • The need for intelligent systems to optimize resource allocation and streamline maintenance processes is evident.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated Maintenance Management Expert System (MMES).
  • To provide a comprehensive solution for managing various aspects of maintenance operations.
  • To enhance maintenance effectiveness through improved management and reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a rule-based expert system architecture.
