Abstract: Abstract Over the past two decades their has been substantial research and development in operations management including maintenance. Kobbacy et al. (2007) argue that the continous research in these areas implies that solutions were not found to many problems. This was attributed to the fact that many of the solutions proposed were for well-defined problems, that the solutions assumed accurate data were available and that the solutions were too computationally expensive to be practical. Artificial intelligence (AI) was recognised by many researchers as a potentially powerful tool especially when combined with OR techniques to tackle such problems. Indeed, there has been vast interest in the applications of AI in the maintenance area as witnessed by the large number of publications in the area. This chapter reviews the application of AI in maintenance management and planning and introduces the concept of developing intelligent maintenance optimisation system.
