Preventive measures can reduce the downtime to as low as reasonably possible thorough planned downtime management. This paper presents a knowledge-based framework to capture and reuse maintenance record for downtime management. A prototype was developed based on actual scenario and was assessed by experienced operators, technicians and engineers. The result of the evaluation contributes to better understanding of system requirements and design for knowledge driven Computerised Maintenance Management System. © 2019 IEEE. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 9th IEEE International Conference on Control System, Computing and Engineering, ICCSCE 2019 ; Conference Date: 29 November 2019 Through 1 December 2019; Conference Code:159323
