SOME SIMPLE METHODS OF MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT APPROPRIATE FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Maintenance management in developing countries is discussed and some objectives for a maintenance management system are given. Two simple management systems appropriate for use in developing countries are described. The first is a manual system based on Transport and Road Research Laboratory Overseas Road Note 1 and the second is microcomputer-based and called System BSM. The methods of operation of these two systems are discussed under the headings of inventory, inspection, maintenance needs, costing, priorities, execution, and monitoring.
