The Time Factors of Maintenance Logistics

Abstract

In the realization of maintenance processes, a vital role is played by logistical activities, i.e. maintenance logistical processes. The way in which the maintenance process is carried out has a basic influence on purchaser satisfaction. Maintenance as an influencing factor of customer satisfaction appears in three basic areas: the production and service process; the maintenance and servicing of the product for the customer; and the administration of maintenance services.
Dominant activities of maintenance logistics are:
- supplying the materials, components, tools and services,
- operating the supply chain of maintenance logistics,
- storage management of the maintenance logistics,
- maintenance inverse logistics.
In the field of maintenance logistics, the time factors and important parameters are explored and mathematically formulated, and the optimal time for starting the maintenance procedure is determined by the transit time.
