MOKHLIS Ahmed, ELMORTADA Asmaa, ELFEZAZI Said, BOUAMI Driss , AZIM Azzeddine

ABSTRACT Continues improvement of maintenance management system canâ€™t be reached without identifying weeks and forces of the existing system. Several studies have been carried out in the field of maintenance audit and many companies have developed their own internal audit methods of their production systems. However, only few studies have published a methodology to have the audit maintenance referential. In this context, the present work is related to develop one methodology of maintenance audit in manufacturing companies. It consists to decompose maintenance function into a set of rubrics, decomposed in turn, into sub-rubrics which will constitute an exhaustive representation of this function. Thus, we are led to develop an audit referential and a quantitative questionnaire to evaluate the companyâ€™s maintenance function. Then, we present our approach results after its application in in chemical industry company. Keywords: Maintenance, audit, diagnostic, maintenance level, referential.
