Justification of maintenance management: AHP approach

In recent times, many organizations have been implementing maintenance management but they have been failing in their attempts to get adequate success. The aim of this study is to find out benefits of modern maintenance management (MMM) over traditional maintenance management (TMM) which leads to the development of World-Class Modern Maintenance Systems (WCMMS). Implementing modern maintenance management needs resources and other operational changes. Therefore, deciding about its implementation is major task for organizations. To solve this critical situation, the authors used Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). By using this approach, global desirability index of modern and traditional maintenance management have been calculated for justification of study.
