PENGUKURAN LAJU KERUSAKAN DENGAN MENGINDIKASIKAN NILAI MTBF DALAM MANAJEMEN PERAWATAN MESIN PADA PT. AIC

PT. AIC uses a manual system in engine maintenance management. This makes it difficult to access in measuring the rate of damage, for acceleration information in maintenance management. This problem requires an identification to provide an effective machine maintenance management information system. The MTBF value will be able to detect machine damage, especially the piccanol gamma loom machine. The MTBF value can see the damage to the machine by looking at the condition of the machine, the data history of machine damage, the number of machine failures that occurred in a certain period. The MTBF value of the machine can control the reliability and know the life of the machine. Action maintenance can be done before the machine is damaged. After calculating the MTBF value of the piccanol gamma loom machine, it is still relatively small so the machine is still often damaged.

On the basis of the data obtained as a result of the simulating, it is possible to make recommendations on the rational management of the fleet maintenance system.

Sustainable maintainability management practices for offshore assets: A data-driven decision strategy

Efficient and reliable maintainability management is a basic element behind ensuring sustainable practices for offshore assets. A method for easily implementing offshore asset maintainability management is proposed and described in terms of the maintainability decision-making process based on data-mining technology. A dataset of historical logs from operational systems drawn from offshore oil and gas service firms that have adopted sustainable maintenance management information system practices, including 12 main systems and 91 auxiliary systems, is used to inform a case study describing maintainability management and the decision-making process. The method uses the optimal values from a multicore classification model that adopts a goal-oriented data mining decision-making approach. Based on maintenance feature attributes, fault duration, fault loss, and frequency of occurrence in maintenance management are the three most important predictors of decision objectives. The decision tree classification results also indicate that the total average maintainability of assets in the key assets component is 53.4%, and the total average maintainability of noncritical assets is 37.9%. The five most important characteristic events found during maintenance and configuration processes were flaws in the tubing for A-annulus communication, leakage in the closed position, external leakage, failure to close on demand, and hydraulic failures that cause safety loss. The results provide unique insights into how offshore enterprise operators can improve maintainability management and decision-making performance using a data-driven decision strategy perspective. Furthermore, it provides a solution for visual proactive maintenance management and decision making under a data-driven framework, making it easier to implement maintenance management and decision-making tasks.

Development of a bridge maintenance system for prestressed concrete bridges using 3D digital twin model

Preventive maintenance is increasingly becoming an essential strategy in the bridge industry owing to its proactive advantage of maintaining the structural sustainability during its entire service life. Several in-use bridges lack an appropriate regular maintenance solution, leading to extra cost during the operation stage.

A detailed solution is proposed in this work to enhance the bridge maintenance process using a parallel solution: a maintenance information management system based on a 3D information model in conjunction with a digital inspection system using image processing. Three-dimensional digital models are required to utilise information from the entire lifecycle of a project, including design and construction, operation, and maintenance, by continuously exchanging and updating data from each stakeholder. For the maintenance of prestressed concrete bridges, the twin models are defined and their uses are presented.

Improvement indicators for Total Productive Maintenance policy

Many papers have been written on financial indicators to assess the use of a maintenance policy based on Total Productive Maintenance, while others have compared results showing the impact of criteria such as the Mean Time Between Failures. This paper provides the maintenance managers indicators which can assess the relevance of the actions carried out as well as readjustment of the planned maintenance program. In long term, this indicators knowledge may lead them to review their maintenance policy. To reach this aim, we propose several indicators for reliability, diagnosis and prognosis to assess and improve the maintenance policy based on Total Productive Maintenance. Methods used to obtain these indicators are only based on operating maintenance activities. These latter were extracted from a database produced by a Computerized Maintenance Management Information System. This work focuses on a maintained process based on total productive maintenance in which available sensor data are not indicative of degradation level achieved by the system. Indicators presented were obtained using Survival Laws, Hidden Markov Model and Support Vector Machine. As a concrete case study, an alloy foundry process is used.

Risk Evaluation of Railway Rolling Stock Failures Using FMECA Technique: A Case Study of Passenger Door System

Railway transport consists of two main asset classes of infrastructure and rolling stock. To date, there has been a great deal of interest in the study and analysis of failure mechanisms for railway infrastructure assets, e.g. tracks, sleepers, bridges, signalling system, electrical units, etc. However, few attempts have been made by researchers to develop failure criticality assessment models for rolling stock components. A rolling stock failure may cause delays and disruptions to transport services or even result in catastrophic derailment accidents. In this paper, the potential risks of unexpected failures occurring in rolling stock are identified, analysed and evaluated using a failure mode, effects and criticality analysis-based approach. The most critical failure modes in the system with respect to both reliability and economic criteria are reviewed, the levels of failure criticality are determined and possible methods for mitigation are provided. For the purpose of illustrating the risk evaluation methodology, a case study of the Class 380 train’s door system operating on Scotland’s railway network is provided and the results are discussed. The data required for the study are partly collected from the literature and unpublished sources and partly gathered from the maintenance management information system available in the company. The results of this study can be used not only for assessing the performance of current maintenance practices, but also to plan a cost-effective preventive maintenance (PM) programme for different components of rolling stock.

Evaluation and Analysis of Logistic Network Resilience With Application to Aircraft Servicing

To analyze the resilience of logistic networks, it is proposed to use a quantificational resilience evaluation approach. Firstly, the node resilience in a network is evaluated by its redundant resources, distributed suppliers and reachable deliveries. Then, an index of the total resilience of logistic network is calculated with the weighted sum of the node resilience. Based on the evaluation approach of resilience, the reasonable structure of the logistic networks is analyzed. A model is then studied to optimize the allocation of resources with connections, distribution centers or warehouses. Our approach has been used to study the resilience of logistic networks for aircraft maintenance and service and to guarantee the security and service quality of aeronautical systems. To monitor the operation of the logistic networks and enhance resilience, the architecture of a synthesized aircraft maintenance information management system and service logistic network is designed and being developed, which is called resilience information management system for aircraft service (RIMAS). The research results have been provided to the decision makers of the aviation management sector in the Chu Chiang Delta of China. Good comments have been achieved, which shows that the approach has potential for application in practice.
