Abstract: Maintenance is the combination of all technical, administrative, and managerial actions during the life cycle of an item intended to retain it in, or restore it to a state in which it can perform the required function under normal stated operating conditions. Maintenance management is a crucial element that governs the economic value of the organization itself. Maintenance costs constitute a major part of the total operating costs of all construction equipment. Currently, industries are facing a lot of challenges encountered due to the continually evolving world of technologies, and environmental and safety requirements. Thus, the study was focused on Integrating Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS Models for Construction Equipment Maintenance Strategy Selection. The evaluation was a multiple-criteria decision-making problem. The fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS methods were used as an evaluation tool. To achieve the objective, the data were collected from primary and secondary source of data collection. The method of data analysis for this study was made by integrated methodology, and the analysis was made by using Microsoft Excel. The study revealed that skill development, production waste, product quality, health and safety training, and facilities are important criteria. The finding revealed that preventive maintenance and time-based maintenance were the best maintenance strategies.
