Abstract
The analysis of post-industrial society brings out the spread of attention towards social phenomena that imply increasingly greater spaces for the dimension of maintenance. We refer in this connection to:
-
the transversal nature of many aspects and components of development;
-
a strong characterisation of economic and social transformation, in terms of continuous technological innovation;
-
the pervasive nature of innovation, in both social and technological terms;
-
the expansion of tertiary productive activities, which have reached the level of the services economy itself.

Notes
- 1.
Historically, various types of man–object relationships have been noted: spiritualist, ascetic, and positivist.
- 2.
A failure or breakdown is an incident that can theoretically be avoided, through successive intervention to valorise and implement continuous improvement of objects and plants.
- 3.
Indicators made up of many variables, which take into due account the expenses of standardisation, maintenance and social security.
- 4.
In the industrial sector, one of the strategic lines of the maintenance function, is, strangely enough, to prevent its own self-destruction, through reductions in the cost of maintenance, with the same established objectives, obtained through intervention on the planning of products and processes, on layout, organisation and, above all on company culture.
- 5.
Aptitude of a system and its logistical supporting organisation to provide performance as required in the time required.
- 6.
TPM is often defined as profitable PdM (efficient productive maintenance) for the substantial economies that it produces with a wide and extensive diffusion in productive sectors.
- 7.
The concept of MLSS was introduced at the beginning of the 1980s by the United States Department of Defence, with the definition of integrated logistics support (ILS); only later was ILS extended beyond military ambits.
- 8.
It may be performed when the machine/plant is idle (even only through visual inspection) or in movement (visual inspection, non-destructive tests, etc.).
It is opportune for periodical visits to be performed with the definition of structured inspection itineraries with different methods, according to whether they are performed on idle or operating plants and machinery.
- 9.
TPM functions with reference to the classification of breakdowns, implementing intervention for continuous improvement, whose immediate result is to control all phenomena of control and breakdown.
- 10.
In many cases, the interpretation of the data collected may require the intervention of additional professional figures that possess specific competence different from the competence of the machine operator.
