Nowadays, distribution utilities face new technical-economical requirements, aiming at improving the profitability of the electricity distribution systems. Such context requires both, a high reliability and availability of the electric networks. In order to do so, it is necessary to minimize outages, reducing at the same time, their duration. This situation leads to redefine the current mainten...

ings, continued skin care, remedial exercises, and repeated self-massage.10,11 Because lymphedema is a chronic disorder, the major shortcoming of the maintenance phase is sustaining the patient’s compliance with required preventative techniques.8,11 A novel approach to the lymphedema maintenance phase is aqua lymphatic therapy (ALT), which provides patients in the maintenance phase of lymphedem...

General preventive maintenance model for input components of a system, which improves the reliability to ‘as good as new,’ was used to optimize the maintenance cost. The cost function of a maintenance policy was minimized under given availability constraint. An algorithm for first inspection vector of times was described and used on selected system example. A special ratio-criterion, based on t...

Preventice maintenance of operational software systems is a novel technique for software fault tolerance, used speci cally to counteract the phenomenon of software \aging". However, it incurs some overhead. The necessity to do preventive maintenance not only in general purpose software systems of mass use but also in safety-critial and highly availabile systems clearly indicate the need to foll...

--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------The significance of decision making from the maintenance perspective has long been acknowledged by the manufacturing industry. Appropriate maintenance alternative decision making increases machine reliability and enhances both productivity and product quality. By contrast, p...

<span lang="EN-US">Reactor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP) is the only research nuclear reactor in Malaysia. Maintenance of RTP crucial which affects its safety and reliability. Currently, maintenance strategies used corrective preventative involved many sensors equipment conditions. The existing preventive method takes a longer time to complete entire system’s inspection. This study has investigated...
