Unveiling Innovations in Maintenance Management: The Maintenance PhD Thesis Award 2024
The realm of maintenance management in the Netherlands has always been a cornerstone for ensuring operational excellence and sustainability within various industries. Recognizing the paramount importance of innovative research in this field, the Maintenance PhD Thesis Award emerges as a beacon of acknowledgment and encouragement for scholars delving into groundbreaking studies. This prestigious accolade, a collaborative initiative between NVDO (Dutch Association for Effective Maintenance) and WCM (World Class Maintenance), is designed to spotlight and reward the most innovative doctoral research that significantly contributes to advancing the Dutch maintenance sector.
The significance of the award extends beyond national borders, as the victor is automatically nominated for the EuroMaintenance PhD Award by the European Federation of National Maintenance Societies (EFNMS). This not only elevates the recognition of the research on an international scale but also highlights the Netherlands’ commitment to excellence in maintenance and asset management.
The year 2024 sees a trio of exceptional nominees, each bringing forward a thesis that could potentially reshape aspects of maintenance management through their innovative approaches and insightful findings.
2. Dr. Nina Trauernicht: Coordinating Complex Decisions in the Dutch Railway
Click To Enlarge Program
Dr. Trauernicht’s thesis, “Coordinated Interorganizational Decision-Making in Dutch Railway Context,” delves into the intricate web of decision-making required in managing the Dutch railway system’s complex projects. In an era where public transportation, especially railways, is under pressure to enhance safety, reliability, and interconnectedness.
Dr. Trauernicht emphasizes the need for seamless integration of system entities. Her research critically examines the prevailing one-size-fits-all approach to project management and proposes a nuanced perspective that addresses the multifaceted nature of railway system projects. Through her two-pronged research, she offers innovative strategies for improving inter-organizational project coordination, thereby facilitating more effective decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
3. Dr. Mingxin Li: Enhancing Offshore Wind Farms Maintenance Logistics

In his groundbreaking thesis, “Towards Closed-loop Maintenance Logistics for Offshore Wind Farms,” Dr. Li addresses the pressing need for optimizing maintenance logistics in the rapidly expanding sector of offshore wind farms. With Europe’s offshore wind capacity projected to reach a staggering 450 GW by 2050, the imperative for efficient Operations and Maintenance (O&M) practices has never been more critical.
Dr. Li’s research introduces a novel open-loop predictive opportunistic maintenance strategy, adeptly navigating the uncertainties inherent in maintenance logistics. His work not only quantifies the impact of these uncertainties on maintenance performance but also paves the way toward a closed-loop maintenance strategy, significantly reducing potential revenue losses and enhancing the sustainability of offshore wind energy production.
