所有的制造企业都会根据成本、质量、灵活性和其他优先事项来选择在市场上竞争，这取决于他们的制造能力。设备维护是制造的一个组成部分，可以影响这些竞争优先级，从而直接以消极或积极的方式影响业务战略。在一段时间内，制造和维修领域取得了重大发展。这些领域包括技术、概念、方法和哲学。例如先进制造技术（AMT）、JIT、全面生产维护（TPM）和外包。维修，直接受到这些发展的影响，已经从单纯的战术上升到更具战略性的水平。因此，越来越需要研究业务和维护策略之间的关系。这篇论文得到了一项调查的支持，该调查对比利时境内约150家公司进行了抽样调查，在某种程度上也对荷兰进行了抽样调查。本文的实证研究考察了具有不同竞争优先级的公司是否会采取不同的维护策略。结果表明，高质量竞争对手的维修政策更主动，计划和控制系统更完善，维修组织结构更分散。与其他人相比，他们更有效地管理维护。在AMT使用、自动化、维护人员（管理/监督和技术人员）、费用和预算数字的分布方面也存在差异。质量竞争对手的AMT使用率、自动化程度、维护人员更多，预算支出更多，其次是成本和灵活性竞争对手。(c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
All manufacturing companies choose to compete in the market based on some competitive priorities like cost, quality, flexibility and other priorities, depending upon their manufacturing capabilities. Equipment maintenance being an integral part of manufacturing, can influence these competitive priorities and hence the business strategy directly in a negative or positive way. Over a period of time, there had been significant developments in the field of manufacturing and maintenance. These are in the areas of technology, concepts, methodologies, and philosophies. Examples are Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT), JIT, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and Outsourcing. Maintenance, directly influenced by these developments, has risen from a mere tactical to a more strategic level. Hence, there is a growing need to study the relationship between business and maintenance strategies. The paper is supported by a survey conducted in a sample of about 150 companies within Belgium and to some extent in the Netherlands. In this paper, our empirical study investigates whether companies with different competitive priorities pursue different maintenance strategies. The results indicate that quality competitors have more pro-active maintenance policies, better planning and control systems, decentralized maintenance organization structures when compared to others. They manage maintenance much more effectively when compared to others. There is also a difference in the distribution of AMT usage, automation, maintenance personnel (management/supervision and technicians), expenses and budget figures. Quality competitors have more AMT usage, automation, maintenance personnel and spend more on budget, followed by cost and flexibility competitors. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
