Abstract
Focuses on the relationship between maintenance and quality. Then briefly reviews models relating production and quality on the one hand, and production and maintenance on the other. Using concepts from predictive maintenance and the measure of equipment effectiveness from total productive maintenance (TPM), identifies explicit links between maintenance and quality. Emphasizes the need to develop adequate models relating maintenance and quality. Presents two approaches for modelling the link between maintenance and quality. The first approach is based on the concept of imperfect maintenance and the second one uses the Taguchi approach to quality and maintenance.Keywords
