ABSTRACT

Just like in any other area of engineering, management plays an important role in the practice of maintainability engineering. Its tasks range from simply managing maintainability personnel to effective execution of technical maintainability tasks. Maintainability management can be examined from different perspectives such as management of maintainability as an engineering discipline, the place of the maintainability function within the organizational structure, and the role maintainability plays at each phase in the life cycle of system and product under development [1].
