Strict guidelines and protocols for central venous catheter insertion, care, and maintenance where implemented.
This often leads to unnecessary maintenance, even deterioration of machines if incorrect maintenance is implemented [18].
Moreover, while improved maintenance procedures implemented by LeMay reduced the number of B-29s that had to return to base during raids due to technical problems, the Command suffered a loss rate of 5.1% in these operations.
However, limited research is available regarding effects of maintenance programmes implemented in a real-life setting, in which conditions are less strictly controlled and resemble everyday real-life.
When the corrective maintenance strategy is applied, maintenance is not implemented until failure occurs [32].
Commonly, the developed maintenance strategies are implemented and managed within the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), which is usually separate from the RCM automated environment.
The equipment maintenance module is implemented in a web-based prototype to support maintenance tasks in a remote management manner.
Maintenance performance assessment is also an important task after the implementation process to evaluate the efficiency of the implemented maintenance activity.
The monitored data of equipment parameters could tell engineers whether the situation is normal, allowing the maintenance staff to implement necessary maintenance before failure occurs.
