Abstract

Maintenance operations account for a significant portion of project lifecycle costs and are subject to disruptions. A potential solution to this problem is to develop resilient strategies to cope with disruptions, ensuring safe and reliable operation of assets. This paper intends to develop a causal loop diagram to depict causal hypotheses among resilient maintenance operations of built assets and represent the complex nature of relationships between maintenance outcomes and disruptions. As a result, root causes of major disruption events to maintenance operations of built assets are mapped to inform technological advances that support predictive maintenance such as simulations.
