Combining Synoptic and Incremental Approaches for Improving Problem-Solving in Maintenance Planning, Monitoring and Controlling

Planning, monitoring and controlling are equally important to manage business processes. Those are associated with efficient use of physical resources and personnel, continuous performance improvement of practitioners and processes, and sustaining organizational goals. In this paper, we have primarily focused on the nature and fundamental characteristics of problem-solving as the key to bridge and compensate the gaps of planning, monitoring and controlling across business processes. In addition, we foresight the needs to develop combined approaches that simultaneously consider rational and coherent aspects of decision-making, and develop the problem-solving within incremental procedures. This especially applied and proved in the field of maintenance cost management.
