In this paper we summarise, and attempt to unify, the many descriptions that have been published on general mode changes. We then use this summary to position the criticality mode change. We conclude that a criticality mode change (from low to high) is closest in nature to a (graceful) degradation mode change following (partial) system failure. However, a criticality mode change (from high to l...

<p>The estimation of time-to-failure machines is utmost importance in the Manufacturing Industry. As world moving towards Industry 4.0, it high time that we progress from traditional methods, where wait for a breakdown to occur, prognostics based methods. It need era be aware any incident before occurs. This study provides application Statistical-based Predictive maintenance. A BOPP Produ...

the need to establish power plants to supply the required electricity of the country has been rising due to increasing demand levels as well as the lack of governmental resources. furthermore, the available traditional attitude in performing and conducting power plant projects has made government seek a modern attitude. this paper tries to use the topics that have been employed in automotive in...

Trucking industry plays a vital role in road freight transportation, because of its ease of accessibility. A systematic approach for factors identification and its ranking is required based on their criticality which affects the industry performance. Ranking of the factors has been performed by using interval type 2 fuzzy FMEA approach.

This paper presents a ‘Lexicographic’ Goal Programming (LGP) approach to define the best strategies for the maintenance of critical centrifugal pumps in an oil refinery. For each pump failure mode, the model allows to take into account the maintenance policy burden in terms of inspection or repair and in terms of the manpower involved, linking them to efficiency-risk aspects quantified as in FM...

In the present paper, a complete process from reliability evaluation to design modification is proposed and also applied to a newly designed and manufactured Remotely Piloted Helicopter (RPH) by the authors. First of all, a description of all platform subsystems is presented. After that, function diagram and also product tree of the whole system is depicted for further analysis. Then, the relia...
