Preventive maintenance is a broad term that encompasses a set of activities aimed at improving the overall reliability and availability of a system. Designers of the preventive maintenance schedules attempt to minimize the overall cost of system operation. There is no substitute for perfection in maintenance to ensure zero breakdowns in machine; therefore it is necessary to get a machinery brea...

Efficient and on-time maintenance plays a crucial role in reducing cost and increasing the market share of an industrial unit. Preventive maintenance is a broad term that encompasses a set of activities aimed at improving the overall reliability and availability of a system before machinery breakdown. The previous studies have addressed the scheduling of preventive maintenance. These studies ha...

Abstract Maintenance is presented as the totality of some activities that have objective maintenance or restoration an equipment in normal operating parameters. From economic point view, for all production costs, it recommended to plan these taking into account costs necessary activities. The strategies company performs must follow certain standards, policy guides them and chosen methods. Depen...

Engineers of today require a holistic understanding the lifecycle products and processes, from conceptualization to operations. Maintenance reliability are areas receiving increased attention due contribution sustainable industry practices. The related literature describes ways strengthen education with respect curricula teaching, but studies on extent content maintenance-related in engineering...

In operational engineering maintenance situations, limitations on time, resource or the information available often inhibit rigorous analysis complex decision problems. Decision-makers who are compelled to act in such circumstances, may be informed by some level of if available, else have rely their unsupported judgement. This paper presents three risk decision-making case studies across a 20 y...
