Use of PMS Continuous Improvement Scheme for Maintenance Adjustments in Shipping Industry

Computerized Planned Maintenance Systems have been in use for more than thirty years in shipping industry. They are used for organizing and planning of the maintenance process as well as for recording of performed maintenance actions. Maintenance is carried out according to the maintenance plan that is inserted into the computerized Planned Maintenance System and should be modified over time, according user’s experience, i.e. user’s feedback. One of the forms of user’s feedback are records of the performed maintenance in the Planned Maintenance System. Those records, after comprehensive analysis, should be used as a source for maintenance modification. The Continuous Improvement Scheme is the functionality that every Computerized Planned Maintenance Systems must have. This scheme is one of the items that is monitored during annual survey of the System. The Scheme is designed to allow systematic reporting of detected shortcomings within the System as well as for suggesting different improvements. All changes within the Computerized Planned Maintenance Systems should be proposed through a Continuous Improvement Scheme.
