Maintenance painting history-rically has been expensive and inefficient when plants paint on a worst area basis. Even though many plants utilize the separate components of a maintenance painting program - surveys, specifications, bid evaluations, inspection and record keeping - few plants are able to access the available data quickly and analyze it for the purpose of reducing costs and improving efficiency.

This paper explores the types of data required in a maintenance painting program along with the methods of collection and suggests organizational techniques which will facilitate retrieval and manipulation by a computer. This process is referred to as data base management.
