UNIVERSAL CLASSIFICATION FOR MAINTENANCE APPROACHES

This study tackles the issue of inconsistencies in maintenance classifications across various institutions, industries, and regions, highlighting the absence of a generally accepted classification of maintenance approaches despite extensive research in the field The primary goal of this research is to propose a comprehensive and universally applicable classification of maintenance approaches. Through an in-depth review of existing literature, diverse maintenance methodologies were identified, evaluated, and synthesized to form the basis of a new classification framework. This paper introduces a general classification that integrates key maintenance types, aiming to provide clarity and consistency.
