Abstract
Maintenance is another important aspect of system performance after reliability. There are several facets of maintenace management, and in this introductory chapter we would like to have these surveyed. Broadly speaking, maintenance is the process of maintaining equipment in its operational state either by preventing its transition to a failed state or by restoring it to an operational state following a failure. This leads to various types of maintenace activities that can be planned to realize the objective of maitenance, such as preventive, predictive, or corrective. Recent developments in maintenance engineering and management are also discussed in this chapter.
