A set of technical, administrative and management activities are done in the life cycle of equipment, to be located in good condition and have proper and expected functioning. This is refers to be, maintenance management system (MMS). The framework and models of assessment in order to enhance effectiveness of a MMS could be proposed in two categories: qualitative and quantitative. In this resea...

introduction: in health care services, preventing problems and failures is more efficient than concentrating on correcting them. repairs are always expensive, as they require highly specialized personnel and costly spare parts. regular inspecting and servicing, using manual services and checklists, would maximize the impact of maintenance and minimize the costs. it is thus important to introduc...

maintenance treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml) in remission has recently been controversially discussed and even abandoned by several groups. an analysis of 16 published multicenter trials, however, revealed the highest probabilities of relapse free survival (rfs) in the range of 35-42 % at 4-5 years only in patients assigned to maintenance treatment when adult age and int...

Circuit breakers are crucial components for power system operation. The currently adapted time-directed maintenance strategy and the emerging new condition-based strategy require a flexible information processing technique and software architecture. In this paper, mobile agent software has been applied in implementing circuit breaker maintenance and repair tasks. Several potential application s...

This paper studied a continuous-time model of a production maintenance system in which a manufacturing firm produces a single product selling some and stocking the remaining. The problem of adaptive control of a production-maintenance system with unknown deterioration has been presented. Using Liapunov technique, the production rate and updating rule of deterioration rate are derived as non-lin...

In this paper, we study the single machine total completion scheduling problem subject to a period of maintenance. The problem is known to be NP-hard. We propose a pseudo-polynomial dynamic programming algorithm for the problem with time complexity O(nR), where n refers to the number of jobs and R to the date of the beginning of the maintenance. The efficiency of the algorithm is improved using...

Today, programmers are forced to maintain a software system based on their gut feeling and experience. This paper makes an attempt to turn the software maintenance craft into a more disciplined activity, by mining for frequently applied changes in a version control system. Next to some initial results, we show how this technique allows to recover and study successful maintenance strategies, ado...

This paper deals with predictive maintenance and its importance on industrial applications. After introduction, brief information is given about causes of electrical motor failures and then, predictive maintenance concept is introduced. Next, most popular techniques are told briefly. Model based fault detection technique which is utilized by Artesis MCM (Motor Condition Monitor) unit is mention...
