Download or read book Reliability Centered Maintenance Reengineered written by Jesus R. Sifonte and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability Centered Maintenance – Reengineered: Practical Optimization of the RCM Process with RCM-R® provides an optimized approach to a well-established and highly successful method used for determining failure management policies for physical assets. It makes the original method that was developed to enhance flight safety far more useful in a broad range of industries where asset criticality ranges from high to low. RCM-R® is focused on the science of failures and what must be done to enable long-term sustainably reliable operations. If used correctly, RCM-R® is the first step in delivering fewer breakdowns, more productive capacity, lower costs, safer operations and improved environmental performance. Maintenance has a huge impact on most businesses whether its presence is felt or not. RCM-R® ensures that the right work is done to guarantee there are as few nasty surprises as possible that can harm the business in any way. RCM-R® was developed to leverage on RCM’s original success at delivering that effectiveness while addressing the concerns of the industrial market. RCM-R® addresses the RCM method and shortfalls in its application -- It modifies the method to consider asset and even failure mode criticality so that rigor is applied only where it is truly needed. It removes (within reason) the sources of concern about RCM being overly rigorous and too labor intensive without compromising on its ability to deliver a tailored failure management program for physical assets sensitive to their operational context and application. RCM-R® also provides its practitioners with standard based guidance for determining meaningful failure modes and causes facilitating their analysis for optimum outcome. Includes extensive review of the well proven RCM method and what is needed to make it successful in the industrial environment Links important elements of the RCM method with relevant International Standards for risk management and failure management Enhances RCM with increased emphasis on statistical analysis, bringing it squarely into the realm of Evidence Based Asset Management Includes extensive, experience based advice on implementing and sustaining RCM based failure management programs

Download or read book Reliability Based Aircraft Maintenance Optimization and Applications written by He Ren and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-03-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability Based Aircraft Maintenance Optimization and Applications presents flexible and cost-effective maintenance schedules for aircraft structures, particular in composite airframes. By applying an intelligent rating system, and the back-propagation network (BPN) method and FTA technique, a new approach was created to assist users in determining inspection intervals for new aircraft structures, especially in composite structures. This book also discusses the influence of Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) on scheduled maintenance. An integrated logic diagram establishes how to incorporate SHM into the current MSG-3 structural analysis that is based on four maintenance scenarios with gradual increasing maturity levels of SHM. The inspection intervals and the repair thresholds are adjusted according to different combinations of SHM tasks and scheduled maintenance. This book provides a practical means for aircraft manufacturers and operators to consider the feasibility of SHM by examining labor work reduction, structural reliability variation, and maintenance cost savings. Presents the first resource available on airframe maintenance optimization Includes the most advanced methods and technologies of maintenance engineering analysis, including first application of composite structure maintenance engineering analysis integrated with SHM Provides the latest research results of composite structure maintenance and health monitoring systems

This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 19,5/20, University of Rennes 1, language: English, abstract: Maintenance management and optimization of maintenance is getting more and more important for a large number of companies. The use of automated machines and equip-ment in order to produce goods is very common today; hence companies have to rely on reliable machines which are available and working 100% of the time. In order to attain a flawless working factory, maintenance management is crucial. However companies cannot hope that the decisions they make concerning maintenance management are optimal and they start therefore to use decision support systems based on optimization methods. Also maintenance management is very complex and a lot of different decisions have to be made, like defining maintenance intervals, personal planning, when to buy spare parts, when to replace equipment etc. It is easier for companies to base their decisions on a mathematical program, and therefore the use of maintenance management optimization models arises. Optimization models proved to be very advantageous in other sectors, so it was just a matter of time before optimization methods where ported to maintenance man-agement. Problematic in the case of maintenance optimization are the very specific maintenance problems resulting in a large number of different maintenance optimization models. It is consequently very difficult to get a good overview about the different models and their application. R. Dekker, who has worked a lot on maintenance optimization and on operations research in maintenance management wrote a paper about maintenance optimization methods and their application, ‘Application of maintenance optimization models: a review and analysis’. It summarizes maintenance management in general, gives a brief history of maintenance management, describes different optimization methods, their practical application, problems which can occur by applying the models etc. In this paper, I will discuss the work of R. Dekker; first of all there will be a description of the paper, explaining what it is about and giving a resume of important aspects. In the second section, the paper will be compared to other papers concerning maintenance opti-mization, different and identical aspects will be explained. Furthermore some information will be added in order to simplify the comprehension of maintenance optimization mod-els. Finally I will comment the paper, and give my opinion about the aspects that I liked and what I would describe differently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many serious accidents have happened in the world where systems have been large-scale and complex, and have caused heavy damage and a social sense of instability. Furthermore, advanced nations have almost ?nished public inf- structureandrushedintoamaintenanceperiod.Maintenancewillbemore- portant than production, manufacture, and construction, that is, more ma- tenance for environmental considerations and for the protection of natural resources. From now on, the importance of maintenance will increase more and more. In the past four decades, valuable contributions to maintenance policies in reliability theory have been made. This book is intended to s- marize the research results studied mainly by the author in the past three decades. The book deals primarily with standard to advanced problems of main- nance policies for system reliability models. System reliability can be mainly improved by repair and preventive maintenance, and replacement, and rel- bility properties can be investigated by using stochastic process techniques. The optimum maintenance policies for systems that minimize or maximize appropriate objective functions under suitable conditions are discussed both analytically and practically. The book is composed of nine chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to an int- duction to reliability theory, and brie?y reviews stochastic processes needed for reliability and maintenance theory. Chapter 2 summarizes the results of repair maintenance, which is the most basic maintenance in reliability. The repair maintenance of systems such as the one-unit system and multiple-unit redundant systems is treated. Chapters 3 through 5 summarize the results of three typical maintenance policies of age, periodic, and block replacements.

Download or read book Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenance written by Wallace R. Blischke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-03-27 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing a groundbreaking companion book to a bestselling reliability text Reliability is one of the most important characteristics defining the quality of a product or system, both for the manufacturer and the purchaser. One achieves high reliability through careful monitoring of design, materials and other input, production, quality assurance efforts, ongoing maintenance, and a variety of related decisions and activities. All of these factors must be considered in determining the costs of production, purchase, and ownership of a product. Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenance serves as a valuable addition to the current literature on the subject of reliability by bridging the gap between theory and application. Conceived during the preparation of the editors' earlier work, Reliability: Modeling, Prediction, and Optimization (Wiley, 2000), this new volume features twenty-six actual case studies written by top experts in their fields, each illustrating exactly how reliability models are applied. A valuable companion book to Reliability: Modeling, Prediction, and Optimization, or any other textbook on the subject, the book features: * Case studies from fields such as aerospace, automotive, mining, electronics, power plants, dikes, computer software, weapons, photocopiers, industrial furnaces, granite building cladding, chemistry, and aircraft engines * A logical organization according to the life cycle of a product or system * A unified format of discussion enhanced by tools, techniques, and models for drawing one's own conclusions * Pertinent exercises for reinforcement of ideas Of equal value to both students of reliability theory as well as professionals in industry, Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenance should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand how reliability and maintenance issues can be addressed and resolved in the real world.
