ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for providing maintenance service for long-term capital equipment or fixtures includes the steps of diagnosing existing conditions of the long-term capital equipment or fixtures, providing a warranty on the long-term capital equipment or fixtures in conjunction with a purchase of an initial maintenance service, repairing the long-term capital equipment or fixtures to reach the start-up standard if any of the existing conditions are below the predetermined start-up standard, developing a maintenance schedule according to the predetermined start-up standard and any of existing conditions which are beyond the predetermined start-up standard, and maintaining the long-term capital equipment or fixtures according to the maintenance schedule so as to fulfill the warranty. The providing of the warranty includes transferring from owner to a provider the risk of maintaining performance of the long-term capital equipment or fixtures during a specified time and within a predetermined start-up standard.
