CHAPTER 3 : LITERATURE REVIEW
3.1 Introduction
Maintenance process is one important aspect that should be of concern to the building management organization. Maintenance process should be planning to ensure the building always in good condition and give comfort to the user.
In this chapter, the relationship between system maintenance will be explains by clear definitions, concepts, and problems relating to maintenance activities.
Maintenance of the building is the first steps in order to avoid minor damage that can also affect the activity in the building. To ensure maintenance system of building more efficient, the structure, design, materials and function of the building should be preferred. In addition, the guidelines set by the management or the contractor shall be required to be complied and to avoid any accidents or damage that is not planned.
3.2 Definition
3.2.1 Definition of Maintenance
Various parties have given different views on the purpose of maintenance
Maintenance is defined as the required processes and services undertaken to preserve, protect, enhance, and care for the building’s fabric and services after completion, in accordance with the prevailing standard to enable the building and services to serve their intended function throughout their entire life span without drastically upsetting their basic feature and uses (Lateef et al, 2010).
Building maintenance generally indicates upkeep and repair of fabric (e.g. reinforced concrete structure, windows and finishes) and service (e.g. water supply system, electrical installation and elevators) to make building serviceable (Yau, 2012).
Maintenance is defined as the continuous care and protection involving minor repair w...

Continuous improvement (CI) refers to a philosophy consisting of improvement activities that increase successes and reduce failures in a production process (Bhuiyan & Baghel 2005, p. 761). It involves activities and processes that focus on continuous and incremental innovation (Bessant et al., 1994, p.17). CI is a new approach that enhances productivity, performance, and achieves competitive advantage needed in the highly competitive industries. It may also serve as a complementary approach to other quality improvement initiatives such as total quality management (TQM) (Pike, Barnes, & Barnes 1995, p. 23; Larson 2003; Lassen, Gertsen, & Riis 2006; Oakland 2007, p. 227). The purpose of this research is to explore the application of production systems engineering methods in the CI at manufacturing plants.
Maintenance may be corrective, adaptive, perfective or preventive maintenance, depending on the situation and software. The maintenance may be a routine maintenance to address an error or it could be larger scale maintenance to keep the software up-to date. Operating systems upgrade over time and hardware keeps changing. At the same time software needs to be upgraded to keep it functional. However, sometimes the structure of the software does not allow these maintenances to be done. Different maintenances done to software may also decay the software structure. More and more maintenances are done which may decrease the software structure. At some point this will become too complicated and uneconomic to maintain and it is better to replace the system.

Building Maintenance Program. We take the stress out of being a landlord. When we manage your property, we handle all the maintenance, so you don’t have to do it.
The first instance of differing opinions between Maintenance and Kirinyaga is shown when Barbara Eaton asks Koriba about whether the baby had free will or not. She asks, “was that baby you killed given such a choice?”(9). Resnick demonstrates the two differing opinions about whether babies have the freedom to decide or not. Here we see that the women from Maintenance represents the western culture’s belief that humans have the freedom to decide what they want and how they want to act. On the other hand, when Koriba replies back by saying “it was not a baby but a demon” (9) , the author provides the opposing belief when Koriba compares the innocent baby to a devilish being. In other words, the tradition decides for the baby who he or she is;
High Maintenance is a web series which allows glimpses into people’s everyday lives in a diverse and insightful way. It is available on the website ‘Vimeo’, with four of the ‘cycles’ (seasons) available for free and the fifth one for a low price, with the episodes varying in length (usually shorter than 15 minutes). The series follows the character known as ‘The Guy’, a marijuana dealer who delivers to these people’s homes. Each episode features a different person, couple or group and “The Guy” acts as the audience’s ‘window’ to each, although he often features very little in each episode. This essay analyses High Maintenance through the episodes of “Rachel”, “Helen” and “Matilda” and discusses how the episodes uses space while linking it
Millions of people own and drive cars, but many of those people go through their whole lives not knowing anything about how to fix or notice the minor details of their cars. Every now and then they shell out hundreds, or even thousands of dollars to take their cars to get fixed for small things. If they were to able to take a little of their time and much less money, they could easily take care of some things themselves. A few of these problems include the following: the charging system, oil changes, and fluid levels.
Anybody and everybody can become an industrial machinery mechanic; especially, those who are passionate about getting their hands plastered in motor oil, grease, and other mechanical lubricants. These people will more than likely be ecstatic about getting into industrial machinery mechanics. They need to be able to put in one hundred ten percent of their effort into becoming an industrial machinery mechanic. An industrial machinery mechanic’s overall objective on the job is to stop a mechanical error before it happens. An industrial machinery mechanics are often caught repairing, maintaining, and fabricating machinery. They will be required to have certain education and training as well as some on the job training or complete an apprenticeship program. They will receive many benefits for working in this particular field.
Building codes are rules for the contractors, architects, and for the owner. Basically the codes are for to protect public safety, health, and welfare in construction and buildings. The building is a law that is amendments to the builders. With out the building codes we won’t be protected in buildings. Here are some of the buildings codes.
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) means systematic caring, inspecting, and servicing of military equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. The operator of the vehicle mission is to be sure to perform PMCS each time he/she operate the vehicle. Always do the PMCS in the same order, so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had some practice, you will quickly spot anything wrong.
Overseeing the maintenance of non-computing office equipment to ensure it is in good working order (for example, copiers/printers/collators/laminators).
Aviation industry deals with more than thousands of people and also spending millions of funds in order to meet the requirements, satisfy the necessities of people and to produce state-of-the-art aircraft. With its objective it is significant to consider the hazards involved and bring out an output with the least extent and under control risks to prevent any loss in terms of life and even profit.
Management “is the art of getting things done through the efforts of other people” (p.8). We all know that the management is not how it was when it was first started back in the early 1990s. Managers have a big responsibility of making sure there managing their areas of responsibly and team very well. Principle of Management is a way of making sure you are managing your work by involving others to make sure it gets done. According to our text Carpenter, Bauer, & Erdogan (2009) ,”the principles of management are the activities that “plan, organize, and control the operations of the basic elements of [people], materials, machines, methods, money and markets, providing direction and coordination, and giving leadership to
