The change of market and the explosion of product variety have led to increased automation and the need for complex equipment. Therefore, the reliability and the maintainability of the equipment play an important role in controlling both the quantity and quality of the products. In order to ensure specified availability and reliability of production process, preventive maintenance (PM) should b...

A wide variety of artifacts is routinely encountered on MR images. This article presents the cause, appearance, diagnostic effect, and available remedies for the artifacts that are most frequently observed on MR images and are of greatest clinical significance. Combined with routine preventive maintenance of imaging equipment, consistent quality control, and appropriate selection of imaging par...

Predictive as well preventive maintenance are tools of programs that aim to increase or maintain the life expectancy an equipment through computational techniques and tools. Bearing in mind power generation industry has a high rate with machines / electric generators stopped, this research aims develop model for predicting Reliability Key Performance Indicator (KPI) identify how available will ...

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...

Classic approach to preventive maintenance of equipment in power system substations was based on periodical according regulations and best practices recommended by vendors. SCADA HOPS is used primary for real-time monitoring control the substations. Real time data available databases contain useful information substation optimization operational conditions. Malfunctions failures are monitored v...

Refiners today operate their equipment for prolonged periods without shutdown. This is primarily due to the increased pressures of the market resulting in extended shutdown-to-shutdown intervals. This places extreme demands on the reliability of the plant equipment. The traditional methods of reliability assurance, like Preventive Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance and Condition Based Maintena...
