Abstract

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the past several decades, there have been diverse and significant research activities on maintenance scheduling (MS) due to the multi-disciplinary dimension of the field. As a consequence of this diversity and multi-disciplinary involvement, the MS literature is at present fragmented, somewhat misleading, and deficient in informative articles that cover the length, breadth, and depth of scientific investigations in the field. This paper reviews the scientific discipline of MS, covering general surveys, models, and significant empirical studies and cases in MS research. The research reflects the multidisciplinary nature of work in the field and suggests areas for future investigation.
