Maintenance Optimization Using Multi-attribute Utility Theory

open access: yes, 2015
Several factors such as reliability, availability, and cost may consider in the maintenance modeling. In order to develop an optimal inspection program, it is necessary to consider the simultaneous effect of above factor in the model structure. In addition, for finding the optimal maintenance interval it is necessary to make trade-offs between several ...

Application of multi attribute utility theory in multiple releases of software

International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management, 2014
One of the important applications of software reliability models is the determination of software release time. Most of the existing studies on this topic use models based on non homogeneous Poisson process with a bounded mean value function. Multi up gradation based software reliability growth model is developed for successive release modelling and ...

Combination of a Cognitive Theory with the Multi-attribute Utility Theory

2003
This paper presents how a novel combination of a cognitive theory with the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) can be incorporated in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in order to provide adaptive and intelligent help to users. The GUI is called I-Mailer and is meant to help users achieve their goals and plans during their interaction with an e ...

Applications of Multi-Attribute Utility Theory: Comments

1977
We would like to consider the review paper by Patrick Humphreys in the context of two other review papers on the same subject, the papers by Huber (1974) and by von Winterfeldt and Fischer (1975), and we intend to show that substantial progress in the applicability of multiattribute utility theory is represented by this sequence of papers.

Selection of Inspection Intervals Based on Multi-attribute Utility Theory

2013
In the context of complex equipment, inspection has an important role to play in maintaining operations at a suitable performance. In fact, for this kind of system, failures are not immediate. Therefore, the concept of delay time is very useful as a two-step failure process, as a basis for constructing inspection models.

Multi-attribute utility theory for measuring safety

European Journal of Operational Research, 1982
Abstract The advent of new technology, much of which is complex and dangerous, has produced the need for defensible and sound methods for measuring safety and for determining whether a given level of safety is appropriate. This is particularly true in the nuclear industry where most of the opposition to nuclear power is concerned with the safety of ...

INTEGRATING VISUALIZATION AND MULTI-ATTRIBUTE UTILITY THEORY FOR ONLINE PRODUCT SELECTION

International Journal of Information Technology & Decision Making, 2007
Effectively selling products online is a challenging task. Today's product domains often contain a dizzying variety of brands and models with highly complex sets of characteristics. This paper addresses the problem of supporting product search and selection in domains containing large numbers of alternatives with complex sets of features.

Measuring nursing practice models using multi-attribute utility theory

Research in Nursing & Health, 2000
Nursing Practice Models (NPMs) represent the structural and contextual features that exist within any group practice of nursing. Currently, measurement of NPMs relies on costly and nonreproducible global judgments by experts. Quantitative measurement techniques are needed to provide a useful evaluation of nursing practice.

Schizophrenia: Multi-Attribute Utility Theory Approach to Selection of Atypical Antipsychotics

Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2007
Background: Current guidelines/algorithms recommend atypical antipsychotics as first-line agents for the treatment of schizophrenia. Because there are extensive healthcare costs associated with the treatment of schizophrenia, many institutions and health systems are faced with making restrictive formulary ...
