38th ESReDA Seminar and the 3rd joint ESReDA/ESRA seminar on
Advanced Maintenance Modelling (4-5th May, 2010)
The Regional Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Science
Pecs, Hungary (http://www.pte.hu/pab/)
The failure of many systems results in inconvenience and possible loss of revenue from its ssociated unavailability. When the system is safety critical the consequence of failure can be catastrophic with loss of life. Maintenance is the activity undertaken to control the state of the asset
and aims where possible to prevent failures or reduce the consequential downtime should they occur. Maintenance activities can be either proactive or reactive and include: preventive maintenance (reducing the probability of failure) by servicing and modification of the system or its
components; and corrective maintenance (rectifying failures) by component repair or replacement.
Maintenance planning will determine how the resources of personnel, spares and specialist equipment will be utilized to control the state of the system and its components. The maintenance management scheme establishes how the components and subsystems will be maintained, balancing the effort distributed between preventive and corrective activities within the limitations imposed on the resources.
The selection of the maintenance action and when it is performed can control the degradation processes associated with a system in order to deliver an acceptable or even optimal level of performance.
An effective and efficient maintenance scheme often plays a vital role in a system reaching to required levels of performance, particularly as the asset ages. Modelling is the process by which such a maintenance scheme can be established. This seminar looks at the current state-of-the-art in maintenance modelling and the developments that have taken place which are required to evaluate changing face of maintenance practices.
Topics (include , but are not limited to) :
Modelling the influence of maintenance on the reliability and availability performance of systems.
Modelling the degradation of systems and components to identify appropriate maintenance actions.
System health monitoring.
Fault detection and failure identification methods.
Component prognostics (determining when to replace/ repair components by monitoring their condition)
Systems prognostics (predicting the system reliability when component failure or deterioration conditions are known).
Planning of inspection and testing schedules (eg risk based, reliability based).
Optimal maintenance schemes.
Industrial case studies
