Abstract: Faults in technical facilities are oftentimes unanticipatable and unplannable. For the operator of a facility, it is therefore always uncertain when and at what level costs will be incurred for fault rectification. A method is therefore proposed for rectifying faults in technical facilities by which for a defined period of time, and for a number of facility components which are defined before the period starts, the rectification of faults is undertaken by a technical service organization, for which purpose an operator of a facility pays the service organization a defined sum of money for the defined period of time, whereby the costs of fault rectification during the defined period of time are then met by the service organization, up to level of the sum of money, and costs over and above this are met by an insurance company. The facility operator then has from the outset costs which can be estimated and planned, and need not establish separate reserves.
