Maintenance management can be achieved by the use of three different methods: Unscheduled maintenance, preventive maintenance and predictive maintenance. 1- Unscheduled Maintenance (Corrective Maintenance): It is also called emergency maintenance, breakdown maintenance or re- pair maintenance. 2- Preventive Maintenance (PM): This method all components of machines or equipment are monitored at a specific interval and failures or possible failure “If we combine Computerized maintenance management system – CMMS with Industry 4.0’s principle aspects, it gives an enterprise system that can access to big data that needed to more accurate maintenance planning. This approach determines the potential component failures and failure ratios of critical equipment and components. These systems introduce the possibility of more intelligent maintenance scheduling combined with reduced maintenance cost.” Mill Maintenance in The Age of Industry 4.0 Prof. Farhan Alfin Prof. Dr. Farhan Alfin obtained his Ph.D. from Ege University in Izmir, Turkey, from the Department of Food Engineering in 2000.
