Inspection and maintenance decisions based on imperfect inspections
نویسنده
چکیده
The process industry is increasingly making use of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) techniques to develop cost and/or safety optimal inspection plans. This paper makes use of the gamma stochastic deterioration process to model the corrosion damage mechanism. This model is successfully extended to update prior knowledge over the corrosion rate with imperfect wall thickness measurements. This is very important in the process industry as current non-destructive inspection techniques are not capable of measuring the exact material thickness, nor can these inspections cover the total surface area of the component. The model is illustrated by examples using actual plant data.

Integrated Inspection Planning and Preventive Maintenance for a Markov Deteriorating System Under Scenario-based Demand Uncertainty
In this paper, a single-product, single-machine system under Markovian deterioration of machine condition and demand uncertainty is studied. The objective is to find the optimal intervals for inspection and preventive maintenance activities in a condition-based maintenance planning with discrete monitoring framework. At first, a stochastic dynamic programming model whose state variable is the ...
متن کاملOptimal maintenance decisions under imperfect inspection
The process industry is increasingly making use of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) techniques to develop cost and/or safety optimal inspection plans. This paper proposes an adaptive Bayesian decision model to determine these optimal inspection plans under uncertain deterioration. It uses the gamma stochastic process to model the corrosion damage mechanism and Bayes’ theorem to update prior knowledg...
متن کاملMaintainability Policy for Deteriorating System with Inspection and Common Cause Failure (TECHNICAL NOTE)
A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...
متن کاملMaintenance optimization under non-constant probabilities of imperfect inspections
In this research, we study a single-component system that is characterized by three distinct states, cf. the Delay Time Model: normal, defective, and failed. The system is maintained by an inspection policy with fixed time intervals, and preventive system replacement after a number of inspections. The inspections are imperfect, and the probability of an inspection error changes over the system’...
متن کاملEffects of inspection errors on economically design of CCC-r control chart
CCC-r chart extended approach of CCC charts, is a technique applied when nonconforming items are rarely observed. However, it is usually assumed that the inspection process is perfect in the implementation control charts imperfect inspections may have a significant impact on the performance of the control chart and setting the control limits. This paper first investigates the ...
