Implementation of proactive maintenance in the Egyptian Glass Company

The implementation of proactive maintenance, as presented here, offers a complete package for maintenance system development. The package contains a methodology, a software package, and a set of tested and verified procedures. The methodology is general enough to be used in various fields of applications, as it was tested in different facilities, and service and production environments. It addresses the total corporate system, augmented by the new concepts of maintenance methods, and utilizes suitable approaches of information systems development. With the present approach process re‐engineering becomes essential for computerized maintenance information systems definition.
