Maintenance performance metrics: a state‐of‐the‐art review

Predicting Maintenance Performance Using Object-Oriented Design Complexity Metrics

The Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm has become increasingly popular in recent years. Researchers agree that, although maintenance may turn out to be easier for OO systems, it is unlikely that the maintenance burden will completely disappear. One approach to controlling software maintenance costs is the utilization of software metrics during the development phase, to help identify potential proble...

Maintenance of Dental Implants: A Review

  Objective: Successful bonding of a dental implant to bone, which was referred to as osseointegration by Branemark has been well documented. However, long-term prognosis of an implant depends on adequate maintenance and long-term care. An effective maintenance program is required to preserve the health of peri-implant tissues. Several techniques have been suggested for this purpose but it is n...

Structure and performance of health maintenance organizations: A review

During the past decade, the number of and enrollment in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) have grown dramatically. In 1980, 236 HMOs served 9 million members. By 1989, there were 591 HMOs with over 34 million enrollees. New HMOs are very different in organizational structure and arrangements than the HMOs that were operating in the 1970s, and the health care markets they serve also have c...

Comparing Supply Chain Performance Metrics with Organizational Excellence Performance Metrics

AMR Research has published a list of the Top 25 Supply Chains for the past few years. These companies and the AMR criteria provide excellent examples for exploring supply chain performance metrics. The NIST publications on the Baldrige Award winners and more recent publications on the success of Six Sigma programs are benchmark examples for organizational excellence performance metrics. Perform...
