Abstract

Abstract A Systematic Reliability Improvement (SRI) program has been developed to support the decision-making processes of preventive maintenance (PM) planning for enhancing plant/system reliability in nuclear power plants. The SRI program is based on improved information-handling methods in the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology. This program enables us to select a proper PM plan using a computerized system that integrates the following three subsystems which have been developed and is implemented on an engineering work station. (1) The maintenance management support subsystem can provide statistical parameters which indicate the characteristics of the failure mode for components based on the statistical analysis of field maintenance data. (2) The FME/CA-database subsystem can manage the system/component failure modes and their characteristics which are estimated by experts at the design stage using 13 types of assessment rankings of the failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FME/...
