As a maintenance strategy to reduce unexpected failures and enable safe operation, condition-based (CBM) has been widely used in recent years. The decision criteria of CBM the literature mostly originate from statistical failure data or degradation states, few which can directly effectively reflect current state analyze condition monitoring data, measures, reliability together at same time. In ...

2 Introduction How can the productivity of a plant with a high level of automation be increased even further? Surveys have indicated that plant operators in all sectors consider increased availability and shorter downtimes to be the most effective lever toward increasing productivity. Investigations have shown that downtimes are frequently the result of insufficient maintenance – despite the fa...

background: infants are regarded as a vulnerable group in need of nursing care, particularly during nicu admission. parents of these infants often experience emotional, psychological and physical upheavals. therefore, nurses can be of great help to the parents and facilitate a healthy transition from this period. improper communication with parents, who seek information on their infant’s condit...

In this paper, we consider field service in which service providers are responsible for maintaining equipment performance. To do so, preventive maintenance work is usually required in addition to repairs. Field service managers are often faced with the conflicting objectives of maintaining a high level of equipment availability and keeping a low service cost. A condition-based maintenance (CBM)...

We deal with a family of functionals depending on curvatures and we prove for them compactness and semicontinuity properties in the class of closed and bounded sets which satisfy a uniform exterior and interior sphere condition. We apply the results to state an existence theorem for the Nitzberg and Mumford problem under this additional constraint. Ref. S.I.S.S.A. 85/99/M (July 99)

According to the demand for condition-based maintenance online decision making among a mission oriented fleet, an intelligent maintenance decision making method based on Multi-agent and heuristic rules is proposed. The process of condition-based maintenance within an aircraft fleet (each containing one or more Line Replaceable Modules) based on multiple maintenance thresholds is analyzed. Then ...
