Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the basic definitions and concepts of maintenance are discussed. Firstly, the definitions of maintenance, availability, reliability, maintainability and serviceability are given, and the relations between these concepts are discussed. Then, different maintenance strategies and policies are described, and the challenge of determining preventive maintenance intervals is discussed. Finally, the concept of maintenance performance is explained, and a methodology is provided to calculate the actual performance.
