History
The first mention of Planned maintenance was in the Christensen whaling fleet in 1915, which, at the time, was biggest whaling fleet in the world. Although it is not clear who actually invented the system, credit goes to Christensen and Arnesen Christensen & Co. Early systems were written on paper and included only a few of the most important items on board. In time the system grew and improved. During 1950 the same company presented the first comprehensive Planned maintenance program for shipping. The Planned Maintenance system for the U.S. Navy was established by Anthony J Ruffini in 1963. Development of computers give a new boost to Planned Maintenance programs in shipping. In 1984 the first Planned Maintenance software specially designed for ships use was marketed. Named Asset Management Operating System (AMOS-D) it ran in DOS, but the development of Windows software gave new boost and today there are a variety of Planned Maintenance programs for shipping use.
