ABSTRACT
Following the analysis of the engineering techniques and quality methodologies examined, this chapter describes the different phases of the process identified to design maintenance procedures (task lists) for the food industry. The reliability concepts and safety and maintenance engineering techniques presented in Chapter 4 have been compared and contrasted to identify the principles to be used in building up the maintenance design process. To reach food product safety and equipment reliability, the maintenance process designed integrates quality and engineering techniques. Hereafter, the process blocks, highlighting the main maintenance design phases, are listed in sequential order.
