JYSK is one of North Europe's largest furniture suppliers with over 2 800 stores. The central warehouse located in Nässjö delivers to all of Sweden and although the company is well established on the market, there are shortcomings in the maintenance work. This cause for unnecessary breaks in the logistics chain which contributes to a lower availability. The purpose of this study was to bring forth suitable action proposals that could help JYSK in their effort in establishing a functioning maintenance. To answer the study's purpose three questions had been presented: 1. What type of stops occurs and what metrics can be used to calculate the availability? 2. How is the suppliers’ maintenance-plan designed for each equipment? 3. Which maintenance work should be prioritized by JYSK, based on the existing and suppliers' maintenance plans? The study´s major demarcation was towards fully automated equipment only as well as no metrics was calculated and presented. A case study consisting of a literature study was accomplished with the purpose to gather data to be able to answer the questions. Qualitative methods that was accomplished was an interview, observations, and document collection. The result presented in this study was a well-developed maintenance plan, checklists based on the recommendation of the supplier and suggestions on follow ups that focuses on visualisation and metrics. The study's conclusion was that JYSK had all the necessary tools and instructions on how to develop and implement a working maintenance plan provided. The company only had to implement the given recommendations in their everyday routine. It was necessary for JYSK to identify the causes behind the stops to be able to eliminate them.
