Maintenance resources and their optimization are an important issue for companies. Because of this, is important to have an appropriated maintenance management framework for helping the asset management processes. In this paper we develop one of the main steps of the main maintenance management models, criticality analysis. For a proper asset management structure, criticality analysis is a key tool who introduces the best asset management practises in companies. In this context, this article shows an appropriate methodology for a criticality analysis development and how to fix the different criteria.

This framework, purposes 8 phases for the execution of an iterative maintenance management process. The objective is, starting from the definition of the general objectives, to achieve a complete control of maintenance processes. As we can see, there are three main stages where phases group together in order to reach the different objectives of maintenance departments.
