Abstract:
Centralized and decentralized tactics in industry directly affect operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Centralized and decentralized maintenance solutions are compared for their ability to improve operational efficiency. Centralized techniques standardize and scale tasks to cut costs. Decentralized strategies can be adjusted to specific operation demands and allow maintenance to be done at multiple locations, boosting reaction times. We compared these methods' pros and cons using real-world data. Critical factors include downtime, cost efficiency, response speed, and equipment effectiveness. Simulation models, operational data, and industry reports are used for this research. Results imply that choosing centralized or decentralized method relies on context and is not always ideal. Centralized maintenance saves money for geographically concentrated assets. Decentralised maintenance promotes responsiveness and flexibility, making scattered industries more efficient. The findings suggest that hybrid models that integrate features of both tactics may work well depending on the operational circumstances. In conclusion, the research advises industries to understand their operational surroundings and choose a personalized maintenance strategy optimization technique.
