I was in maintenance for almost 40 years. At one time, my title was Manager of Maintenance and I covered all the states west of the Mississippi River.
Things have changed in the last 15 years or so. I blame how engineers are educated. The Just in Time warehousing, efficiency planning, cost benefit analysis - all designed to maximize near term profits. It was one of my motivations for early retirement. Maintenance of critical equipment requires a different thought process.

Reliability as a primary goal is not focused on cost effectiveness. Cost effectiveness often happens when you get it right, but the measurement of it is difficult. If you have no unplanned outages, how do you prove cost-benifit on your maintenance cost? All of your cost of unplanned outages is theoretical- so the engineers don't apply much weight. So, maintenance budgets are cut, and profits go up..... for a while. Then things start to break.
