IMPORTANCE OF PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE
CHAPTER 1 IMPORTANCE OF PRODUCTIVE
When a production system stops due to a failure or power failure, downtime causes a loss
proportional to the duration of the downtime.
Therefore, it is necessary to design a system that is not stopped by a failure or power failure.
In case the production system stops, quick recovery is an important issue. To improve the operating
rate of the production system, each factory must have a team of maintenance personnel.

Importance of maintenance

With remarkable progress of mechatronics machinery and more complexity and sophistication,
recent production systems have become more black-boxed with increasing difficulty in maintenance,
making it difficult to improve the operating rate.
Therefore, highly reliable products and improved maintenance approach are strongly demanded.
