阐述了维修的历史:在过去的半个世纪里,维修取得了怎样的成就;在今后的半个世纪,维修将面临怎样的挑战。举例叙述了由于维修不足而造成的设备停运、社会环境的破坏,以及少数场合下的人员伤亡。幸运的是,在更多的情况下做好了维修工作,环境得到改善,产业盈利增加,并使维修职业的形象和地位加强。探讨了发人深省的情况,如在某些行业和部门中,仍然存在着不断削减维修费用的现象,其结果在某些场合下导致业务上的失败,甚至给环境带来灾难性后果和造成人员伤亡。本文的目的,是引起维修行业内部以及范围更广的行业以至国家和全球对此问题感兴趣的社团的关注并展开讨论。 Elaborated on the history of repairs: what achievements have been made in repairs in the past half-century; and what challenges will maintenance have to face in the next half-century. An example is given of equipment outages due to lack of maintenance, damage to the social environment, and casualties on a few occasions. Fortunately, maintenance work has been done in more cases, the environment has been improved, the profits of the industries have increased, and the image and status of the maintenance jobs have been strengthened. It also explores thought-provoking situations such as the continuous reduction of maintenance costs in certain industries and sectors. As a result, in some cases, business failures have resulted in catastrophic environmental consequences and casualties . The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness and debate in the maintenance industry and in a wider range of industries as well as national and global associations interested in this issue.
