The need for suitable replacement policies are essential to minimize down time, maintenance cost and maximize the availability and reliability of equipment. On this premise, this work models the failure rate of Photocopy machines and obtain its optimal preventive maintenance policy that would prevent damage and its attendant losses to both users and end-product consumers. The failure distribution of the machine was shown to follow the Log-Logistic distribution with shape parameter, αˆ=1.723339368 and scale parameter, βˆ=763.9219635. Optimal probabilities of the distribution were obtained and utilized in both the cumulative failure function and cumulative hazard function-based replacement models to formulate a replacement maintenance policy for the machine. The failure cumulative function-based replacement model was found to be a better model which yields optimal replacement maintenance time of 166 hours at a minimum cost of 113 Naira for maintaining the machine per cycle time with 96% availability, 94% reliability and 0.07% chance of failure occurrence in the machine.

The cable-beam anchorage zone is the vital load-bearing component in suspension bridge. For maintenance of such structure, a method of probabilistic optimization was proposed by combining linear elastic fracture mechanics, structural reliability and life cycle cost analysis. In this method, the optimal maintenance time is obtained by determining the relative proportion between the costs under the condition that the structural reliability is higher than the minimum allowable reliability. While, the minimum total maintenance cost is obtained by determining the maintenance interval. Then, an example is presented to verify this method, with the following conclusions: the reliability index is inversely proportional to the failure probability, the change of maintenance cost and failure cost affects the optimal maintenance time, the optimal maintenance time will be ahead of time when consider the risk cost. And finally, when the maintenance time interval is determined, the optimal maintenance cost is affected by the maintenance probability and the failure probability.

This paper studies the availability and optimal maintenance policies for systems subject to competing failure modes under continuous and periodic inspections. The repair time distribution and maintenance cost are both dependent on the failure modes. We investigate the instantaneous availability and the steady state availability of the system maintained through several imperfect repairs before a replacement is allowed. Analytical expressions for system availability under continuous and periodic inspections are derived respectively. The availability models are then utilized to obtain the optimal inspection and imperfect maintenance policy that minimizes the average long-run cost rate. A numerical example for Remote Power Feeding System is presented to demonstrate the application of the developed approach.

Maintenance is one of the important roles in the high technology manufacturing industry. It is related to the key performance factors of the company such as quality, productivity, and cost. To achieve these factors, a reliability plan should be implemented which helps to maximise production value by implementing successful asset maintenance. This research project aims to focus on the critical process equipment known as Horizontal Wet Etching Equipment (HWEE) used in the wet etching process. The components in the HWEE system were identified by referring to the process and instrumentation diagram (PID) of the equipment and were categorised in different modes. Data on mean time to repair (MTTR) and mean time between repairs (MTBF) were collected based on previous company records. The data were analysed using MAROS software. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) was done to understand the risk of each of the components. The result shows that piping and gearbox have the highest RPN with 126 and 105, respectively. This study helps to identify critical components and is able to help the company to improve equipment reliability and reduce maintenance cost. Corrective action can be implemented to reduce the RPN for both components. Thus, it would help the industry to increase the key performance and become more competitive in the business environment.

A proper decision-making scheme for track geometry maintenance requires a knowledge of the real condition of track geometry. Therefore, the track must be inspected by measurement cars at different time intervals. The frequency of track geometry inspection plays a crucial role in decision-making and has always been a big concern for infrastructure managers. The inspection interval should be chosen properly, it means that the small period can decrease the capacity of line and affect the operation of network and the big period can result in low quality of track and in some cases derailments and possible loss of human lives. The aim of this paper is to determine the effective inspection interval such that the total maintenance cost is minimized. In the proposed cost model, the costs of inspection, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance and the penalty for exceeding the corrective maintenance level are considered. A case study is performed on a real dataset collected from a railway line in Iran. The standard deviation of longitudinal level is considered to measure track geometry degradation. A widely applied linear model is used to model track geometry degradation over time. Monte Carlo technique is used to simulate the track geometry behavior under various track geometry inspection intervals. In addition, a set of sensitivity analyses are carried out to assess the effect of various inspection intervals on different terms of maintenance cost. The results indicate that not only can substantial costs be saved by setting effective inspection intervals, but also the time during which the track suffers from bad conditions is dramatically reduced. The result of this study has shown the appropriate inspection interval for the studied case can result in 13.6 percent decrease in maintenance cost in comparison with the current maintenance policy. Besides, it would lead to more reliable railway track by preventing the system exceed the corrective threshold.

The objective of this work was to enhance the product’s quality by concentrating on the machine’s optimized efficiency. In order to increase the machine’s reliability, the basis of reliability-centered maintenance approach was utilized. The purpose was to establish a planned preventive maintenance strategy to identify the machine’s critical components having a noteworthy effect on the product’s quality. The critical components were prioritized using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The goal of the study was to decrease the ppm time interval for a CNC machine by simulating the projected preventive maintenance time interval. For this purpose, the simulation software ProModel 7.5 was implemented for the current preventive maintenance procedure to choose the best ppm time interval which contributed better norms. Five dissimilar optimization approaches were applied, however, the first approach yielded the prominent total system cost and the shorter ppm interval. The results of the study revealed that there was an increase of USD 1878 as a result of an increase in total system cost from USD 78,365 to USD 80,243. Preventive maintenance costs were reduced from USD 4196 to USD 2248 (46%). The costs associated with good parts increased from USD 8259 to USD 8294 (0.4%) and the costs associated with defective parts reduced from USD 171 to USD 3 (98.25%), respectively.

The optimization of the maintenance decision making can be defined as an attempt to resolve the conflicts of decision situation in such a way that variable under the control of the decision maker take their best possible value. One of the most important controllable parameters is the time interval between maintenance. Most of the researchers have kept the fact that whenever the suitable maintenance interval is reached, the system is replaced with the original one. However the improvement of a system life not only depends on the replacement of deteriorated components, but also on the effectiveness of the maintenance. Taking care about this fact, the effects of maintenance of a multi-component system by combining the three main different PM actions, namely (1a), (1b) and (2p)-maintenance actions. Thus, the main purpose of an effective maintenance program is to present a technique for finding the optimal maintenance interval for the system by considering the multiple goals of the organization viz. maximum availability, minimum maintenance cost.
