This new approach forces manufacturing companies to
change their previous management paradigms. New management paradigm should include new issues and develop
innovative methods, practices and technologies striving for solving problem of shortages of resources, softening
environment overload and enabling development of environment-friendly lifecycle of products. Hence, its realization
requires updating existing production models as they are based on previously accepted paradigm of unlimited resources
and unlimited regeneration capabilities. Maintenance plays a crucial role because of its impact on availability, reliability,
quality and life cycle cost, thus it should be one of the main pillars of new business running model.
