To establish a reliable maintenance program for new equipment, a number of activities have to be performed. These activities are complimentary for all industries, and include the following:

• Define and develop maintenance strategies and programs
• Establish parts/stores control programs
• Determine maintenance management support systems
• Develop/implement the maintenance training and certification processes
• Manage maintenance participation in commissioning and start-up activities

A company recently performed this effort on a $440,000,000 modification of a power plant. An overview of their successful activities, including identified savings is presented below.
