Real- time analytics and data-driven decision-making further align maintenance activities with broader organizational objectives, promoting a culture of continuous improvement. Findings indicate that Oracle Cloud Maintenance Automation significantly improves maintenance resource allocation, reduces unplanned downtime, and increases equipment reliability. As cloud-based solutions become central to maintenance strategies, their adoption reflects a broader industry trend toward maximizing availability, minimizing lifecycle costs, and driving strategic alignment between maintenance and business goals. This transition empowers organizations to enhance productivity, ensure high asset performance, and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. 48 https://www.theamericanjournals.com/index.php/tajas The American Journal of Applied Sciences The American Journal of Applied Sciences Keywords: Oracle Cloud Maintenance, Maintenance offering a detailed step-by-step guide to implementing a Automation, Preventive Maintenance, Maintenance scalable and automated preventive maintenance Practices, Unplanned Downtime, Cloud-based Solutions. strategy.
