Maintenance procedures have evolved significantly over time, and the necessary equipment has been developed to enhance these processes. Initially, maintenance focused on improving machine performance without considering the potential economic benefits. However, modern advancements have shifted this focus toward better planning, management methods, and quality technology in maintenance. The advent of the technological age has introduced more electronic control machines, greatly impacting maintenance work. The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course in modern maintenance techniques, utilizing data processing systems and computer-based curricula designed by the academy.
