Abstract:
Based on the latest statistical figures, more than 50 billion Rials worth of medical equipment exists in Iran’s medical centers. In spite of this, Breakdown maintenance is used in all hospitals, which means that the equipment is utilized as long as it is not out of order and only in such a situation, i.e. a breakdown, the necessary repair operation is conducted on the equipment. In fact, no maintenance is carried out to prevent a breakdown, while the “prevention from breakdown” concept has long been introduced in the majority of industries in many countries including Iran and its positive impacts are undisputable. This thesis aims at proposing a solution for the implementation of a “planned (preventive) maintenance system” in Iran’s hospitals. In this project, human resource and technical – engineering approaches as well as systematic approaches in the design and implementation phase have been taken into consideration. A software application has also been introduced herewith. Throughout this research, utmost attention has been paid to the practicality of the solutions.
