ABSTRACT

This chapter first outlines current reactive management that is based on experience. Reactive management reacts to damage, complaints, defects of parts and deviations from the original situation, and only after this does it take the necessary action. Next the need for changes and transition to more pro-active management is considered. In pro-active management a number of quality objectives are set and the quay walls are modelled and analysed with regard to threats related to obsolescence and overloading. Finally a set of measures in the form of inspections and preventive or corrective maintenance activities is prepared and included in a management plan.
