Computerized dynamic Gantt-chart for maintenance scheduling and management

The static Gantt-chart accommodates planned dates for preventative maintena nce, or evenually planned maintenance. This is converted to a dynamic Gantt -chart to deal with situations involving on-line analysis for real-time mai ntenance signatures providing predictive functions, in addition to breakdow n situations. This is in addition to the planned preventative maintenance. Thus, the work presents a proposed software design for a complete maintenan ce scheduling and management system. The system considers the integration o f maintenance and the other manufacturing activities. Meanwhile, the relate d interfaces are also defined. The output of the system is a daily maintena nce work plan, listed on a display for the maintenance team, so they can pe rform the required every day maintenance operations.
