Sharma et al. [14] investigated the optimal system maintenance policy that may be the one which either minimizes system maintenance cost rate or maximizes the system reliability measures. Chen [15] investigated a developed procedure to find the sequence that minimizes the total setup time and to minimize the completion time with maintenance schedule in a manufacturing system. Chinese and Ghirardo [16] investigated the maintenance performance. An interesting finding is that no direct correlation between firms’ size and maintenance performance could be observed. Good results are equivalently reported by smaller and larger firms and therefore seem not a matter of size. Ahuja and Kumar [17] reported that one approach to improve the performance of maintenance activities is to implement a total productive maintenance (TPM) system. TPM is considered to be an effective strategic improvement initiative for improving quality in maintenance engineering activities. Reis [18] investigated the aims to promote knowledge on issues related to maintenance, i.e. the behavior of manufacturing companies that consider maintenance as a source of competitive advantage and maintenance managers’ perception of planning when they undertake certain practices in this area. Kans [19] investigated the survey of computerized maintenance support which reveals a focus on maintenance management information technology. Vassilakis [20] reported that maintenance is a process in its own right, thus it requires understanding, control and needs improvement. Aoudia et al. [21] investigated the recommended necessary improvements to maintenance. They reported that it is not sufficient to demonstrate the negative impact of ineffective maintenance management on a company, but it is also essential to identify its causes. Lamptey et al. [22] investigated a case study for optimizing decisions on the best combination of preventive maintenance by using the questionnaire survey. Dowlatshahi [23] investigated the role of industrial maintenance in the maquiladora industry. Maquiladora industry is a system utilizes
