Optimal maintenance—replacement policy under imperfect maintenance
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1992Abstract During a given planning period, in order to have the system working at or below a fixed failure rate, it may be necessary to replace the system to minimize the expected total cost. Preventive maintenance (PM) or replacement should be performed whenever the system reaches the maximum failure rate.

Optimal Maintenance Time Under Imperfect Preventive Maintenance
Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk, 2014The preventive maintenance (PM) is scheduled periodically to restore the system condition. However, PM activities cannot generally restore the system to as good as new condition but in an intermediate situation, which is called imperfect PM. The PM interval optimization is useful for improving system reliability.

Optimal Maintenance in Irrigation
Irrigation and Drainage Systems, 2003This article asks and addresses thequestion ``what is `optimal' maintenance inirrigation.'' It examines alternativedefinitions of irrigation maintenance andexplores pathways of system deteriorationunder alternative input levels. It thendefines maintenance as a service, where thefunctions of arranging, providing, payingfor, and using the service are ...

Maintenance Decision Optimization
2015Maintenance includes corrective maintenance (CM) and preventive maintenance (PM). For CM, two options to restore the system to its operational state are repair or replacement. For PM, various strategies can be used, including time-based strategies and condition-based strategies at both component level and system level.

Multi-objective maintenance optimization
22nd International Conference and Exhibition on Electricity Distribution (CIRED 2013), 2013The conventional approach to maintenance is based on the observation of only one goal in the process of individual project prioritization. However, it is clear that current maintenance management problem is multi-objective in nature and requires the determination of the optimal maintenance strategy that achieves the best trade-off between multiple ...

This chapter is the “owner’s manual” part of this book. You might study the physics of dynamic equilibrium, but that does not teach you how to ride a bike. So after months or even years of study and planning, you might know plenty about EMRs, but until you are in the driver’s seat, you really will not know much about how to use them.

Highway maintenance quality optimization
Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, 1996The Ministry of Communications (MOC) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken an aggressive approach to optimize the condition of its highway infrastructure. This includes pavement, bridges, culverts, tunnels, rest areas, and the multitude of related highway elements that comprise the transportation network.

Optimization of Maintenance Resources
Operations Research, 1965Dynamic; programming techniques appropriate to optimizing a maintenance function are evaluated to demonstrate the feasibility of applying them to large-scale systems involving many equipments. The objective is to determine the proper number, mix, and level of military and/or contractor maintenance personnel, and to apportion expenditures on other ...

Optimizing maintenance therapy in pediatric asthma
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2010There are different phenotypes of asthma, with phenotype-specific differences in medication response observed.Tobacco smoke exposure reduces corticosteroid responsiveness. Treatment for tobacco smoke-triggered asthma must start with treatment of tobacco dependence.
