Research

Al-Najjar main research area is Terotechnology. Terotechnology is a combination of management, financial, engineering and other practices applied to physical assets in pursuit of economic life cycle costs. It covers maintenance management, optimisation, CM, CBM and its impact on the plant business. He has about 30 years of experience of teaching and research mainly in industrial asset management, cost-effectiveness, CBM, problem shooting using vibration spectral analysis, maintenance modelling and optimisation. He is author of about 130 books, papers & reports published in international journals and conferences in maintenance management and CBM and its impact on production, quality, performance effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, data gathering and databases, and human resources. He developed the concept of Total Quality Maintenance and successfully applied it in many case studies, and recently in a full scale in China. The same concept is taught to the personnel of Siemens and Alstom Power as industrial training courses. He developed a new patented decision support system called E-Maintenance Decision Support System (eMDSS) and it has been tested successfully in FIAT (Italy) and GORATU (Spain), and now it is installed and running commercially at several Swedish companies. He was the 2003 & 2008 Eminent Speaker to the Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia. In 2000 he received award for Excellence of Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, the Most Outstanding Award from Literati Club, MCB University Press. Further, he received Tore Danielssons fond Award together, 2002, which was motivated by his outstanding research results and their usefulness for the Swedish industry and to establishing a research team in Terotechnology, rewarded 2011 for innovating eMDSS and 2015 for successful entrepreneurship.
