Abstract
This research addresses the overall view of an Integrated Maintenance Management System (IMMS). Its structure consists of three subsystems of the Real Time Monitoring (RTM), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). These subsystems are not independent. A stand-alone RTM cannot continuously provide improving suggestions without analytical capability. On the other hand, a RCM may offer ambiguous analyses if it is short of real-tune data from equipment. In addition, a tedious CMMS creates the burden for making decisions. Therefore, these three subsystems should be considered together to form an integrated structure. This structure is expected to provide guidance for the maintenance operation flow development of an efficient factory. Modules of the IMMS will be illustrated in details. A mold injection machine is also described in this paper for the argument.
