Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability - Theory and Apllications

Summary

A completely revised and updated edition of a bestseller: 'Maintenance, Replacement, and Reliability - Theory and Applications'. The second edition supplies the tools needed for making data-driven physical asset management decisions. The well-received first edition quickly became a mainstay for professors, students, and professionals, with its clear presentation of concepts immediately applicable to real-life situations. However, research is ongoing and relentless—in only a few short years, much has changed.

Content

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter 2: Component Replacement Decisions

  • Optimal Replacement Times for Equipment Wose Operating Cost Increases with Use
  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Interval of Items Subject to Breakdown (aka the Group or Block Policy)
  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Age of an Item Subject to Breakdown
  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Age of an Item Subject to Breakdown, Taking Account of Times Required to Carry Out Failure and Preventive Replacements
  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Interval or Age of an Item Subject to Breakdown: Minimization of Downtime
  • Group Replacement: Optimal Interval between Group Replacements of Items Subject to Failure - The Lamp Replacement Problem
  • Spare Parts Provisioning: Preventive Replacement Spares

Chapter 3: Inspection Decisions

  • Optimal Inspection Frequency: Maximization of Profit
  • Optimal Inspection Frequency: Minimization of Downtime
  • Optimizing CBM Decisions

Chapter 4: Capital Equipment Replacement Decisions

  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Interval for Capital Equipment: Minimization of Total Cost
  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Interval for Capital Equipment: Maximization of Discounted Benefits
  • Optimal Preventive Replacement Interval for Capital Equipment Whose Planned Utilization Pattern is Variable: Minimization of Total Cost

Chapter 5: Maintenance Resource Requirements

  • Optimal Number of Workshop Machines to meet a Fluctuating Workload
  • Rightsizing a Fleet of Equipment: An Application
  • Optimal Size of a Maintenance Workforce to Meet a Fluctuating Workload, Taking Account of Subcontracting Opportunities
  • The Lease or Buy Decision

This book teaches you how to use Weibull in solving these problems.
