Abstract

Assets are the lifeblood of most organizations. Maintenance is critical in asset management. Whenever a machine stops due to a breakdown, or for essential routine maintenance, it incurs a cost. Unlike consumer applications, in heavy industry and maintenance, the uses of mobile solutions have not yet become very popular. However, it is believed that mobile solutions can bring maintenance management closer to daily practice in the field, and lead to more efficient maintenance operations. This research has adopted a multi-case studies in order to identify the role of mobile technologies in as-set maintenance activities. The findings will contribute to the development of mobile technologies in facilitating effective and efficient maintenance in engineering asset management organisations.
