Comparison of Two Maintainability Programs
Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 127, Issue 3
Abstract
Research by the Construction Industry Institute Maintainability Research Team investigated how maintainability is being incorporated into the project delivery process. This paper presents a comparative analysis of two formal maintainability programs drawn from that research. The programs differ in terms of application and project type and size, in addition to the organization leading the implementation (owner-led versus contractor-led). This paper identifies program attributes contributing to effective maintainability programs. These have been grouped into five categories: (1) corporate commitment; (2) program resources; (3) maintainability planning; (4) maintainability implementation; and (5) program updating. Additionally, the comparative analysis provides readers with insights into different applications used to implement maintainability.
