Abstract In order to reduce the maintenance cost, improve availability, reliability, safety and product quality of equipment, it is necessary maintain equipment. The choice strategy not only related economic interests, even endanger personal safety. Traditional decision-making often takes parts or whole system as decision object. Taking components systems objects, too large grains are easy lead...

The article is centred on software system development for manufacturing company that produces polyethylene bags using mostly conventional machines in a competitive world where each business enterprise desires to stand tall. This is meant to assist in gaining market shares, taking maintenance and production decisions by the dynamism and flexibilities embedded in the package as customers’ demand ...

costs associated with them but is also costly when done frequently. That is why substantial efforts have been invested in minimizing the expected total cost due to failures and preventive maintenance of industrial equipment (Dekker 1996, Tan and Kramer 1997, Bäckert and Rippin 1985, Dekker and Scarf 1998). In industry, most preventive-maintenance approaches include the use of fixed schedules, o...

Studies on the ecology of animal memory have focused on the benefits of memory while implicitly assuming that there are costs as well. Here I discuss probable costs of memory by relying on knowledge from molecular biology and physiology, which indicates that the maintenance of accurate information in animals is an active and costly process of maintenance and repair. Redundancy probably plays a ...

In today's competitive market, all manufacturers attempt to improve their maintenance policy in order to decrease the cost of failure and increase the quality of products, but most of these attempts do not consider the role of humans involved in a manufacturing system. Human resources are the main factor in manufacturing that has an undeniable effect on products quality, machines reliability, s...

Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...

The turbine is the main part of aircraft engine responsible for converting fuel into energy to drive propeller blades. article devoted maintenance and repair an turbine, including basic procedures techniques used detect correct defects damage in turbine. It also describes process diagnosing analyzing failures, how prevent such failures from occurring future. Turbine critical flight safety, can ...
