In recent years the work associated with equipment maintenance has become increasingly important. As concern for efficiency grows, the use of expensive equipment is questioned more closely. The running costs associated with such equipment are seen to be of growing relevance. Nonetheless, it is important to examine the work of maintenance departments, to identify the salient features and to ensure that the service is run as efficiently as possible. It becomes clear that the necessary support is considerably more than mere maintenance. Complete equipment management must be provided. Further, appropriate performance indicators must be developed, not only to allow overall efficiency to be examined, but also to assist in the daily running of the service. Examples are drawn from a typical equipment management department.
近年来，与设备维护相关的工作变得越来越重要。随着对效率的关注度不断提高，昂贵设备的使用受到了更严格的审视。此类设备的运行成本被认为具有越来越重要的意义。尽管如此，审视维护部门的工作、识别其显著特征并确保服务尽可能高效地运行是很重要的。很明显，所需的支持远不止单纯的维护。必须提供完整的设备管理。此外，还必须制定适当的绩效指标，不仅用于审视整体效率，还能协助服务的日常运行。示例取自一个典型的设备管理部门。
