چکیده

A Bayesian semiparametric proportional hazards model is presented to describe the failure behavior of machine tools. The semiparametric setup is introduced using a mixture of Dirichlet processes prior. A Bayesian analysis is performed on real machine tool failure data using the semiparametric setup, and development of optimal replacement strategies are discussed. The results of the semiparametric analysis and the replacement policies are compared with those under a parametric model.

Implementation of Traditional (S-R)-Based PM Method with Bayesian Inference

In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...

A One-Stage Two-Machine Replacement Strategy Based on the Bayesian Inference Method

In this research, we consider an application of the Bayesian Inferences in machine replacement problem. The application is concerned with the time to replace two machines producing a specific product; each machine doing a special operation on the product when there are manufacturing defects because of failures. A common practice for this kind of problem is to fit a single distribution to the co...

Building a maintenance policy through a multi-criterion decision-making model

A major competitive advantage of production and service systems is establishing a proper maintenance policy. Therefore, maintenance managers should make maintenance decisions that best fit their systems. Multi-criterion decision-making methods can take into account a number of aspects associated with the competitiveness factors of a system. This paper presents a multi-criterio...

Maintenance and Work-rest Scheduling in Human-machine System According to Fatigue and Reliability

Most manufacturers use human-machine systems to produce high-quality products. Dealing with human-machine systems is very complicated since not only machines should be utilized in proper condition but also appropriate environment should be provided for human resources. Most manufacturers have a maintenance plan for machines but many of them do not have a proper work-rest schedule for human reso...
