Optimizing Economic Efficiency in Industrial Maintenance Management: A Comprehensive Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

In today's industrial factory, maintenance management goes beyond ensuring the continuous functionality of equipment; it plays a pivotal role in optimizing economic efficiency. This systematic literature review (SLR) examines the evolution of industrial maintenance management systems covering the period from 2015 to 2023. The studies, which were selected from 571 articles at the beginning, were reduced to 45 basic articles, especially considering maintenance, optimization and economic efficiency in the industrial field. Central research inquiries include the integration and application of Industry 4.0 tools within maintenance systems, optimization techniques employed to enhance economic efficiency, decision-making methodologies utilized in maintenance, and the distribution of research across sectors and machines. Our findings elucidate the profound impact of Industry 4.0 on maintenance management. Emphasis is placed on novel optimization strategies and decision-making techniques driving economic productivity. Additionally, a sectoral and machine-based analysis sheds light on areas of research concentration and potential gaps, offering insights for future exploration. The research provides valuable perspectives, serving as a cornerstone for academics and industry professionals interested in the intricate nexus between maintenance management, economic efficiency, and decision-making in the context of Industry 4.0. With a spotlight on current trends, methodologies, and potential avenues for further investigation, this review seeks to foster a deeper understanding and stimulate further innovation in the domain.
