This article proposes a logical support tool for maintenance management decision making. This tool is called the Graphical Analysis for Maintenance Management (GAMM), a method to visualize and analyze equipment dependability data in a graphical form. The method helps for a quick and clear analysis and interpretation of equipment maintenance (corrective and preventive) and operational stoppages....

In coal mining industry, equipment safety and reliability during operation are essential in the production process. recent years, along with continuous improvement of intelligent equipment, reliable requirements have simultaneously increased. Therefore, this article aims to study maintenance decision making method that considers inspection a fully mechanized group. The goal is establish model o...

Industrial equipment requires maintenance to remain operational. The level of maintenance that is required, and how easily it can be executed, is affected by the characteristics of the equipment. Therefore, design decisions have a strong influence on the effectiveness and efficiency of the maintenance process. Ideally, the design of the equipment should be aligned with the design of the mainten...

Fault prediction is the precondition of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), accurate prediction for equipment can not only make warning before failure occurs, but also reduce the cost of maintenance of complicated equipment and system. Therefore, it is of profound importance to make research on fault prediction of electronic equipment. This paper analyses some typical fault prediction method of ...

Budgeting for maintenance and repair When we purchase a motor vehicle, we understand that we will have recurring costs for maintenance, theft and accident insurance, cleaning, parking, etc. The same is true for ophthalmic equipment since it costs money to operate and to maintain during its life cycle. On average, the original purchase cost only makes up about twenty per cent of the entire life ...
