The thesis, presented by the M.A. student, Basil Jabbar Ajeel, aims at determining the role played by smart maintenance in its dimensions (data-based decision-making, human capital resources, external integration) to improve and enhance industrial performance in its dimensions (profitability, technological progress, non-integrated productivity) . This is through the mediating role of knowledge management in its dimensions (knowledge generation, knowledge storage, knowledge distribution, knowledge application).
The study shows that there is a strong correlation between smart maintenance and industrial performance which reflects the availability of smart maintenance. This indicates the direct reflection of a strong percentage of the emergence of industrial performance in company Ibn Majid Heavy Engineering Industries.
