Abstract
This case study presents maintainability implementation by means of a formal program developed by a manufacturing company. The manufacturing company's ultimate goal is optimal production availability. Accordingly, projects are planned and designed with a long-term vision that recognizes the importance of life-cycle costs. This relatively new maintainability program addresses the plan and design for maintenance in equipment and facility projects, both new and retrofit. Elements of the formal maintainability program will be described through the model process for implementing maintainability as defined by the Construction Industry Institute, along with qualitative implementation costs and benefits. Additionally, an example of a successful project-level implementation, the clean room project, will be presented.
