Abstract
In this paper a Maintenance Management Expert System (MMES) is developed. This system is suitable for hospitals as well as for manufacturing organizations. This expert system consists of five sections. These are work order management, equipment management, craftsmen management, material and supply control, and monitoring of maintenance activities. In addition the MMES provides several reports that can be utilized for improving maintenance effectiveness.
