Abstract
This chapter describes the state of the art in maintenance and its future trends. The key areas that have influenced maintenance in the last 40 years are management of people and assets, and technological capability. These areas are important because they aim to take the best advantage of expensive resources, whether that advantage be profit, or to provide the best possible service with limited resources. The chapter first sets out the current range of maintenance in industrial practice. It is recognised that many businesses do not undertake the full extent of the work reported here, but it is our purpose to survey the state of the art. The chapter then continues to survey the influences of nascent technologies and ideas, before making some predictions about the future. Indeed, some of the most advanced condition-based maintenance effectively aims to predict the future. However, here we do not offer a crystal ball calibrated to international standards; we will constrain ourselves to an informed, independent opinion.
