Facility Maintenance

It refers to the activities to remove the causes of failures, suspention, and the decrease in performance due to facility degradation, and to repair the facility. In facility maintenance, the following three points should be considered:
* To improve credibility by considering the method including "how the number of failure is reduced", or "how degradation is prevented" 
* To improve maintainability by making inspection and repair easier to make, and by thoroughly restoring damage. 
* To increase economic efficiency so that the maintenance cost and other expenses to do maintenance on facility with degradation or damage would be minimized.
