  • Chapter

  • 50 Accesses

Abstract

Maintenance work can be undertaken by contractors, direct labour forces or a combination of both systems, and the decision may be based on a number of criteria. The structures of maintenance organisations are examined together with programming and operational activities. Finally the training of maintenance staff and the operation of incentive schemes are considered.
