Abstract
Maintenance philosophies and their activities have always been a major concern in industry. So, every industrial complex needs a clear and comprehensive maintenance plan to keep its equipment reliable and available. In this study, we proposed an AHP model combined with the BOCR method to select the most reliable maintenance strategy for a combined cycle power plant (GTG-HRSG). Five well-known maintenance alternatives including root cause analysis, condition-based maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance, run-to-failure and preventive maintenance are chosen to be evaluated by several experts from various departments of operation, planning and maintenance via three priorities of economic, technical and operation and 30 sub criteria and controls. Then, five different BOCR synthesize methods have been utilized to rank maintenance alternatives. The final result shows that four out of five synthesize methods have ranked RCA as the top maintenance strategy and RCM as second. In one other method, the rank of these two strategies is vice versa.
期刊介绍:
Management Science Letters is a peer reviewed, monthly publication dedicated to create a forum for scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in the field of management skills in the form of original, high quality and value added articles. The journal''s policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and the papers will be appeared in a form of online on our website as soon as the review result becomes positive. The journal covers both empirical and theoretical aspects of management and gives the chance on sharing knowledge among practitioners. Management Science Letters is dedicated for publishing in the following areas: • Quality Management • Production Management (Scheduling, Production management, etc.) • Total Quality Management (TQM) • Six Sigma • Production Efficiency • Just in Time Inventory • Data Envelopment Analysis • Balanced Score Card • Activity Based Cost (ABC) • Technology Acceptance Model • Marketing planning and Customer Relationship Management • Critical Success Factors • e-learning • Customer satisfaction, Job satisfaction, Job turnover, • Organizational commitment, Employee Commitment • Knowledge Management • Knowledge sharing • Human Resources Management (Employee training, Employee Performance, Work achievements,) • Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) issues and Economic development • Innovation, Creativity, Productivity and Performance • Multi-Criteria Decision Making Applications in Management Science (AHP, BWM, TOPSIS, …) • Education Management, Social development, Public Policy • Tourism Industry, Tourism promotion, Tourism directorates • Business performance and financial performance
