This paper presents an approach to the development of condition-based maintenance of aircraft to improve aircraft maintenance in the limits and conditions of small countries and in accordance with global technological achievements. For the aircraft that were under a limited lifespan maintenance concept, a new condition-based maintenance model is developed. This model applies a technical diagnostic method that brought us to decreasing numbers of failures in the ageing period of those technical systems and at the same time decreases the time when it is out of use and lowers maintenance expenses. An analysis based on this model showed its applicability, preservation of operational readiness, and potential for decreasing the cost of aircraft maintenance.

The present paper considers the tribological principles on the maintenance of machinery whose three important areas are – Preventive, Condition Based and Proactive. Although breakdown is kept out of view, the morphology and analysis of failure provide important inputs for maintenance strategies. Condition based maintenance depends on three D’s – Detection, Diagnosis and Decision. In many machinery systems, the problem of predicting the remaining useful life – the Proactive part of the program, and evaluating the cost benefits are of enormous importance. Here the authors endeavor to highlight how the tribologist can significantly improve the maintenance practice.

The availability requirement of natural gas compressors is high. Thus, current maintenance architecture, combined periodical maintenance and simple condition based maintenance, should be improved. In this paper, a new maintenance method, dynamic reliability-centered maintenance (DRCM), is proposed for equipment management. It aims at expanding the application of reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) in maintenance schedule making to preventive maintenance decision-making online and seems suitable for maintenance of natural gas compressor stations. A decision diagram and a maintenance model are developed for DRCM. Then, three application cases of DRCM for actual natural gas compressor stations are shown to validate this new method.
