On the other side, the current economic conjecture put the majority of the industrial commercial societies in a context of “economic war”. Considering that conjecture, the issue is that of not being fatalist, passive, having in mind that we’re
crossing a period of economic recession and the solutions to this crisis don’t depend of the company.
Out of this difficult, but stimulating situation, the societies who are going to win the day are the ones whose management will prove imagination and creativity in order to find progress solutions which are better adapted
and with an increased economic efficiency, solutions of increasing the company’s competitive spirit. Inside these solutions, the ones that increase the production quality should be central. The industrial equipments’ maintenance is
compulsory for guaranteeing the quality in all the production process’ stages, its assignment, in an attempt of warranting quality in all the production stages process being the one of identifying the equipments that have a direct effect on quality and ensuring that through the performed maintenance works is ensured the failure prevention and the prevention of some malfunctions that may affect the production’ squality [9].
What’s industrial maintenance? Trying to define the industrial maintenance, this represents a set of measures and actions that ensure an equipment’s prevention, preservation or restoring in an anticipated state or capable to guarantee a certain service, altogether with the minimizing of the maintenance’s costs [4] [5]. Out of this definition, the following essential conclusions can be drawn: “to restore” involves the concept of “correction”, as a result of losing the functioning parameters’ initial values; “the anticipated state” or the “certain service” involves a predetermination of the functioning parameters or the service to be attained, with the characteristic levels’
quantification; “to minimize” presupposes to consider the maintenance activity’s economic aspect, respectively guaranteeing that all the operations will have an optimal cost; “the prevention” and the “preservation” consists in applying some methods, procedures, measures and actions that contribute to the maintenance’s progress in four major directions, as schematized in fig.1.
