Maintenance Service Configuration Optimization for Complex Equipment

Risk - based Maintenance Optimization for Transmission Equipment

This paper describes a new maintenance selection and scheduling approach for bulk transmission equipment that is based on the cumulative long-term risk caused by failure of each piece of equipment. This approach not only accounts for equipment failure probability and equipment damage, as do reliability centered maintenance (RCM) approaches, but it also accounts for the outage consequence in ter...

Maintenance Contract Model for Complex Asset/Equipment

Maintenance management decision model for preventive maintenance strategy on production equipment

In industries, Preventive Maintenance (PM) is not a new practice to minimise the sudden breakdown of production machine. PM will be performed at predetermine intervals to provide a balance between failure cost and component utilisation (aging). However, most of PM interval is based on experience or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) recommendations. Consequently, the benefits from PM are not...

Maintenance strategy for leased equipment

In case of leasing, the user rents equipment for a predetermined time. During this period, all maintenance actions are performed by the lessor. In this research paper, the aim consists to determine an optimal maintenance policy for ensuring a minimum reliability, required by the customer. Two strategies are proposed: the first consists to perform preventive actions whenever the system reliabili...

Service Computing by Optimization for Integrated E-Supply Chain Configuration

Extended Abstract The discipline of service computing covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between business services and information technology services (The Instutute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer, 2004). Among others, it encompasses a new innovative area: business process integration and management, also known as enterprise service computing. Enterprise service compu...
