THE EFFECT OF MAINTENANCE POLICY ON SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND SYSTEM LIFE-CYCLE COST by

Life Cycle Costing of Military Equipment

Military assets are generally appraised at the acquisition stage on the basis of their total life cycle costs. This study provides a theoretical foundation and a parametric cost model for forecasting the life cycle cost for any kind of heavy military equipment. In the model, the asset operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated as a function of its age over its optimal operational life....

A life-cycle system dynamics model of aircraft-engine maintenance

The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and use of a framework for studying the dynamics of the maintenance system of a fleet of military-aircraft engines in a holistic way, as far as both time and place are concerned. The framework is based on a modular system dynamics simulation model of all the inter-related systems, which are involved throughout the life-cycle of the engine...

Maintenance Prevention Information Management System for Facility Life Cycle Management

Maintenance Prevention (MP) is an important concept for ensuring reliability and maintainability of manufacturing facilities by providing various information collected during actual operations (MP information) to their design phase. However, in many cases, information collected in the shop floor is not detailed and/or accurate enough to make use of it in the design phase. In this paper, we prop...

Maintenance: Changing Role in Life Cycle Management

As attention to environmental problems grows, product life cycle management is becoming a crucial issue in realizing a sustainable society. Our objective is to provide the functions necessary for such a society while minimizing material and energy consumption. From this viewpoint, we should redefine the role of maintenance as a prime method for life cycle management. In this paper, we first dis...
