Policy reappraisal and maintenance

Business Horizons, 1959
Abstract The need for policy reappraisal grows out of the dynamics of our modern economic society, including such factors as cyclical changes, competitors' actions, organizational changes, new or changed objectives, and the frequency of use. Policies may need realignment to match organizational changes, to eliminate overlap, and to harmonize with ...

Test Policy vs Maintenance Policy and System Reliability

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1979
Abstract This paper is concerned with the specification to be given to an automatic test system (ATS) (test frequency distribution, ATS reliability, false alarm rate), in order to interact with the monitored system’s reliability and the maintenance policy.

Clinic Policy and Retention in Methadone Maintenance

International Journal of the Addictions, 1993
Advantage was taken of a natural experiment to investigate the relationship of clinic objectives and procedures with retention in methadone maintenance. Assessment, maximum dose, and time in treatment data on 238 patients were summarized using Cox regression.

Maintenance Policies and Strategies

2011
In this chapter we will analyse the various strategies that we have referred to above, on the basis of an important premise: it is quite easy to have a certain degree of confusion in identifying the various approaches to maintenance, because the diversities that authors attempt to bring to light are often fuzzy and difficult to render in a complete ...

Maintenance policy designs for PC manufacturers

Proceedings of 2005 IEEE Conference on Control Applications, 2005. CCA 2005., 2005
The cost of field service has significantly increased the need for design for maintainability (DFM). How to decide which maintenance policy should be performed is one of the service cost reduction problems. Exploiting the knowledge-based technology as well as the multi-objective analysis, this paper presents a decision tree selecting model (DTSM) for ...

Consistency Maintenance of Modern Security Policies

2012
Modern paradigms for building distributed systems allow an easy separation of business logic and security concerns. The latter can be efficiently managed with the use of a security policy. The security policy consists of rules controlling interactions between system components, including access restrictions, communication protection, etc.

A summary of maintenance policies for a finite interval

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2009
It would be an important problem to consider practically some maintenance policies for a finite time span, because the working times of most units are finite in actual fields. This paper converts the usual maintenance models to finite maintenance models.

Condition-based Maintenance Policy for decentralised Production/Maintenance-Control

2012
A condition-based release of maintenance jobs is analysed for a production/ maintenance-systemwhere the conditions of themachines deteriorate as a function of multiple production parameters and maintenance is performed by a separate department. If a predefined operational availability is to keep up, the machine condition that triggers the release of ...

Modelling Inspection Policies for Building Maintenance

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1982
A method of assessing the potential of an inspection maintenance policy as opposed to an existing breakdown maintenance policy for a building complex is developed. The method is based upon information likely to be available and specific subjective assessments which could be made available.
