Abstract

Assets (products, plants and infrastructure) are either bought, built or leased to meet some specified performance objectives over a specified time interval. Asset performance depends on the characteristics of the asset (such as reliability and quality), the usage mode and intensity, the operating environment, and on the support service (such as maintenance and maintenance logistics). If the asset is bought (or built), the owner of the asset can either do the maintenance in-house or outsource some or all of the maintenance through an EW or MSC. If the asset is leased, depending on the terms of the lease contract, the responsibility for maintenance either rests with the lessor or rests with the lessee.
