CIBOCOF: A framework for industrial maintenance concept development

The CIBOCOF framework described in this paper is the result of several years of research (doctoral research in co-operation with industry) and can be used to develop a customized maintenance concept in a specific company. Specific and new to this framework is that the optimization problem of maintenance is also taken into account. As such, Models described in literature finally find a way to practice, and the gap between theory and practice is closed a little bit in this paper; the framework is presented and illustrated by means of a case study.
