Hard Data Sources Concerning More Cost Effective Maintenance.
Abstract
The paper introduces the interested reader to a number of maintenance related human factors technologies and topics. These are important in reducing life cycle costs of hardware systems. The high costs related to maintenance and maintenance personnel are primary causes of high life cycle costs. The type and length of many maintenance training programs, as well as job structure make substantial contributions to such costs. The topics discussed in the paper include job performance criteria; identification of maintenance tasks; measurement of ability to perform identified maintenance tasks; ways of obtaining the efficient performance of such tasks, such as job performance aids and task oriented training; the requirement for the restructure of maintenance jobs; as well as the need for integrating human factors maintenance technologies.
