Terotechnology (Terotechnology (SystemekonomiSystemekonomi))

Greek tero/tērein; I care/watch over, take care ofIt is applied on production & service processes

Terotechnology combines management, financial, engineering and other practices applied to processes/physical assets in pursuit of economic life cycle costs

Maintenance in Terotechnology covers maintenance management, man-machine-maintenance-economy interfaces, reliability and risk management, data management and databases, optimisation, condition monitoring, condition-based maintenance and its impact on company’s business

It combines knowledge and experience from economics, engineering, computer science, informatics, information systems, mathematics & statistics


It provides a holistic view of the impact of maintenance on the manufacturing process and to perform never-ending improvement cost-effectively

It can be applied on different types of production processes and service provision, such as chemical processes, manufacturing, power plants, water treatment plants, transport, banks, etc.

Main objectives of its application;o Improve and maintain the quality of the elements involved in a processo Improve and maintain process’s technical & economic effectiveness o Continuous & cost-effective improvement of company’s profitability

and competitiveness


MaintenanceMaintenance

A mean to maintain and improve the quality of the elements involved in a production process, continuously and cost-effectively

through detecting and controlling the deviations in the condition of a production process that is decided by production costs, working environment and product quality in order to interfere when it is possible to arrest or reduce component/equipment deterioration rate before the process condition & product characteristics are intolerably affected & to perform the required action to restore the equipment/process or a part to as good as new

A continuous reduction of cost/unit of quality product
