EN Considering sustainable development as an approach to processes and actions performed in the maintenance area of technical objects is a challenge but at the same time a necessary support for sustainable manufacturing realization. It is a challenge because it is not a separate action but a process which includes and integrates requirements of external and internal stakeholders. It requires developing a maintenance strategy and a set of goals which are coherent with general strategy and commitment and participation of all employees, as well as knowledge, experience and consistent performance (evolutionary character of the process). It is also a necessary support because maintenance is a key process for internal supply chain and if the process is omitted or neglected, sustainable development strategy is a declaration of a managers' board made only “on paper”.
