Abstract
The development of a sound quality control system for maintenance is essential for ensuring high quality repair, accurate standards, maximum availability, and efficient equipment production rates. Quality control as an integrated system has been practiced with more intensity in production and manufacturing operations than in maintenance. Although the role of maintenance in the long-term profitability in an organization has been realized, the issues relating to the quality of maintenance output has not been adequately formulated. This chapter presents the elements of maintenance quality control. Responsibilities of quality control departments within maintenance and, inspection and testing programs ae described. The use of statistical process control in maintenance and quality circles are highlighted.
