MANUFACTURING RESOURCE PLANNING (MRPII) CAN BE ADAPTED TO IMPLEMENT A PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM. SINCE MANY COMPANIES HAVE OR WILL ACQUIRE AN MRPII SYSTEM, CONSIDERABLE TIME AND EXPENSE CAN BE SAVED BY USING THE MRPII SYSTEM FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE RATHER THAN BUYING OR DEVELOPING A STAND-ALONE SYSTEM FOR THAT PURPOSE. EACH MRPII SOFTWARE MODULE HAS A CORRESPONDING MAINTENANCE FUNCTION.
