Abstract
The role of maintenance in industry is important to ensure optimal performance, reliability and longevity of equipment, machinery and infrastructure. This maintenance ensure the continuity of the production with minimal losses. The present paper present the types of maintenance and based on this it focused on developing a generalized software which can be applied mainly in mechanical production industry. The main positive aspects of the software are: it represent an open source through the option of adding equipment, it can deliver sheets with costs of preventive maintenance and lists of personnel. Maintenance activities play a significant role in supporting the production process, minimizing downtime, reducing costs and increasing overall operational efficiency.
