Most companies register a large quantity of information in their maintenance data bases, but this is often poorly exploited. An efficient valorization of a maintenance history can improve future maintenance strategies. In maintenance optimisation, four general types of maintenance strategies are taken into account such as: a) corrective, b) preventive, c) predictive, and d) reliability centered...

The paper analyses ome of the practical problems that arise when the requirements of an information system evolve, and when the database and its application programs are to be modified accordingly. It presents four important strategies to cope with this evolution, namely forward maintenance, backward maintenance, reverse engineering .and anticipating design. A common, generic, framework that ca...

A systematic study of the optional maintenance strategies of the Transformer is conducted and a set of general factors which should be considered in the maintenance strategies is established. A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) based on the goal programming is proposed in view of the defects of the traditional Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), and the specific application process o...

Predictive Maintenance is the catchword in the present times. First ,the paper analyze the feature of the Predictive Maintenance, include scientific, approximation, timeliness, condition monitoring, fault diagnostic and so on, second the technology system for Predictive maintenance has been studied, including: condition monitoring technology, fault diagnosis technology, state prediction and mai...

Maintenance therapy for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer has shown some clinical benefit for patients by improving progression-free survival and, to a lesser extent, overall survival. Two main strategies exist for maintenance therapy, ie, continuation and switch maintenance. Continuation maintenance involves the continued use of one of the induction drugs beyond 4-6 cycles of initial treatmen...

U.S. Class I railways maintain their infrastructure through a mix of ordinary maintenance and periodic renewal of infrastructure components. Different railways use different proportions of ordinary maintenance and periodic renewal with little consensus as to the best combination. Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of emphasizing one method over the other has not been analyzed using empirical d...
