dc.description.abstractThe concept of lean maintenance is promoted to eliminate maintenance waste and to maximize efficiency of the manufacturing process for overall cost reduction. The optimum usage of labour,material and technology is thus, proposed to eliminate waste during the maintenance process. This paper proposes a maintainability approach to minimize maintenance waste in order to promote lean maintenance concept to the construction industry. The approach has widened the focus of existing lean maintenance concept by moving it boundaries from the maintenance phase to early phases of the development process. Eight challenges of lean maintenance have been established from fifty one maintainability causes of high-rise buildings. Their impact to maintenance cost was evaluated using a case study and found 40% reduction in the maintenance cost as wastageen_US
