Maintenance logistics management: a new Lean/REX model to activate the human potential

Maintenance logistics is a generic approach to manage maintenance activities and its resources. Even though this new framework remains promising, its managerial aspect is still in need to focus more on the practical perspective. In this paper, we present a literature review of main maintenance management models based on maintenance policies/ strategies discussion to conclude the necessity to build a new sustainable model activating the human factor potential. Therefore we propose a Lean/REX model leading to a new practical standards conception inspired by the lean culture and experience feedback to seek new improvement opportunities in maintenance logistics.
