I see your point, Gearldine. Another way could be conducting routine maintenance after hours to reduce downtime. That way, the organization can maximize asset utilization.

The question seems straightforward, but I'm not sure if I fully understand the concept of 'whole life asset management.' I'll need to do some research on that before attempting to answer.

I agree with you, Albina. In my opinion, one way an organization can use continuous improvement is by reconditioning parts instead of disposing them.
