Synopsis:
Various works in the past noted that the effects of environmental conditions of organisation upon the characteristics and performance. Nevertheless, studies grounded on companies in the manufacturing and services division, hospitals, private institutions, public agencies, and non-profit organisations. The present work extends the body of knowledge to the plant turnaround maintenance organisation in the
process-based industries that were hardly considered by earlier researchers. While technologists aim to achieve high production competence without traditional turnaround events, it is a must to organise and carry out turnaround maintenance for the future. The demand for skilled maintenance specialists is minimised, and this relieves the problems of scarcity of maintenance expertise confronting the turnaround industries. Digitalization will further change the landscape of plant turnaround as it will be hastened with the growth of technology such as artificial intelligence and data analytics.
