“…In services the recipient is typically an entity outside the company in the form of a client or customer (Løkkegaard et al, 2016). The studies by Sigsgaard et al (2021) and Agergaard et al (2022) propose defining maintenance modules by the dimensions action, physical, and process. The action dimension encompasses the steps taken during the maintenance execution.…”

“…The physical dimension describes the characteristics of the systems and equipment being maintained. The process dimension pertains to the steps taken in managing the maintenance process (Agergaard et al, 2022;Sigsgaard et al, 2021). A step in modularization is the standardization and evaluation of commonality across components.…”

“…Such large facilities introduce larger amounts of variation in equipment types and conditions, making the maintenance actions required further varied. This variation makes it difficult to know what maintenance actions were actually performed during a maintenance job, decreasing the knowledge-basis for decision making (Agergaard et al, 2021(Agergaard et al, , 2022. In product family management, modularization approaches have been applied to handle similar issues of large amounts of variation that makes it difficult to gain an overview that can allow standardization and improvement.…”

“…A key has been to improve commonality among parts while balancing the varied demands of customers (Simpson et al, 2014;Thevenot & Simpson, 2006). While modularization is a widely studied subject in products, the application is new in more intangible areas such as services (de Mattos et al, 2021;Eissens-van der Laan et al, 2016;Johnson et al, 2021;Løkkegaard et al, 2016) and maintenance (Agergaard et al, 2022; K. V. Sigsgaard et al, 2021). Applications in maintenance have found that maintenance modules are multidimensional, spanning the dimensions physical, action, and process.…”

“…Applications in maintenance have found that maintenance modules are multidimensional, spanning the dimensions physical, action, and process. Maintenance modules and interfaces must be defined in these three dimensions in order to modularize the maintenance (Agergaard et al, 2022). However, this is an initial proposal for the use of modularization approaches and definitions in maintenance.…”

Maintenance action descriptions can easily contain large amounts of variation without describing variation in the actions taken. Especially when plants grow large, this variation makes it difficult to gain an overview and make decisions on initiative prioritization. This paper proposes a method for the decomposition of the maintenance actions into modules that can then give insight into the maintenance performance. The method evaluates the true variation of the maintenance actions and standardizes them, making it possible to show the true variation and performance of the maintenance activities

The operation of large production assets requires many decisions from the acquisition and design of new assets to the choice of lubricant for a specific piece of equipment. The decisions made in maintenance have a direct effect on the management of the production process, making it important to ensure correct maintenance decision making. However, studies on maintenance decision making tend to focus on smaller areas of decisions being made in a process, but rarely the entire process. To introduce more studies that consider the entire maintenance process, this paper proposes using a modular Maintenance Decision Architecture. The paper introduces a framework for structuring information sources into standardized information modules and mapping them to maintenance decisions made across the entire organization. The application of approaches from product, system, and service engineering are used to support the management of the complexities of maintenance of large production facilities.

Maintenance plays an important role in production-related industries. As the need to better understand maintenance performance at the process level continues to grow, the application of process mining techniques to maintenance performance measurement is emerging. This paper presents a structured process mining approach for analyzing maintenance process performance. This approach enables the identification of potential root causes by enhancing maintenance event logs with contextual information. Multi-level filtering rules are introduced to facilitate the scoping of process mining. A case study was conducted using empirical data from the offshore oil and gas industry. The results show that maintenance process bottlenecks and conformance issues can be identified by comparing the benchmark process to typical process deviations (skipping, self-loop, and back loop). The quantification of process deviation impacts and cause-effect correlation can support maintenance managers in discovering potential root causes of performance issues and taking action for continuous improvement.
