PurposeUnmanned aircraft applications are quickly expanded in different fields. These systems are complex that include several subsystems with different types of technologies. Maintenance and inspection planning is necessary to obtain optimal performance and effectiveness. The failure rate in these systems is more than commercial and manned aircraft since they are usually cheaper. But maintenance and operation planning are difficult because we deal with a system that has multi-components, multi-failure models, and different dependencies between subsystems without any advanced health monitoring system. In this paper, this matter is considered and a framework to determine optimal maintenance and inspection plan for this type of system is proposed to improve system reliability and availability. The new criteria according to this field are proposed.Design/methodology/approachMaintenance of unmanned systems influences their readiness; also, according to the complexity of the system and different types of components, maintenance programming is a vital requirement. The plan should consider several criteria and disciplines; thus, multicriteria decision approaches may be useful. On another side, the reliability and safety of unmanned aircraft are the most important requirements in the design and operation phases. The authors consider these parameters and develop a framework based on risk-based maintenance to overcome the problems for unmanned systems. This framework consists of two stages: at the first stage, the critical components and failure modes are determined by FMEA, and in the second stage, the priority of maintenance tasks is determined by a fuzzy multicriteria weighted decision system. In this study, fourteen criteria with different levels of importance are developed and proposed to find the best plan for maintenance and inspection intervals. These criteria have been extracted from the literature review, the author's experience, and expert opinions.FindingsA novel framework for risk-based maintenance has been proposed. Risk determination and risk criteria are the most important factors in this framework. Risks are determined by FMEA, and new criteria are proposed that are used for decision-making. These criteria are proposed based on practical experience and experts' opinions for the maintenance process in the aeronautic industry. These are evaluated by industrial cases, and this framework capability has been demonstrated.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed framework and criteria for small unmanned aircraft have been developed based on a practical point of view and expert opinion.

目的无人驾驶飞机的应用迅速扩展到不同的领域。这些系统是复杂的,包括具有不同类型技术的几个子系统。维护和检查计划是获得最佳性能和有效性所必需的。这些系统的故障率高于商用和载人飞机,因为它们通常更便宜。但是,维护和运行规划是困难的,因为我们处理的系统具有多组件、多故障模型以及子系统之间的不同依赖性,而没有任何先进的健康监测系统。本文考虑了这一问题,并提出了一个确定此类系统最佳维护和检查计划的框架,以提高系统的可靠性和可用性。根据这一领域提出了新的标准。无人系统的设计/方法/方法无人系统的维护影响其准备状态;此外,根据系统的复杂性和不同类型的组件,维护编程是一个至关重要的要求。该计划应考虑几个标准和原则;因此,多准则决策方法可能是有用的。另一方面,无人驾驶飞机的可靠性和安全性是设计和运行阶段最重要的要求。作者考虑了这些参数,并开发了一个基于风险维护的框架,以克服无人系统的问题。该框架由两个阶段组成:第一阶段,通过FMEA确定关键部件和故障模式,第二阶段,通过模糊多准则加权决策系统确定维修任务的优先级。在这项研究中,制定并提出了14个具有不同重要性的标准,以找到维护和检查间隔的最佳计划。这些标准是从文献综述、作者的经验和专家意见中提取的。发现提出了一种基于风险的维护的新框架。风险确定和风险标准是该框架中最重要的因素。风险由FMEA确定,并提出了用于决策的新标准。这些标准是根据航空工业维修过程的实践经验和专家意见提出的。这些都通过工业案例进行了评估,并且已经证明了这种框架能力。研究局限性/含义小型无人驾驶飞机的拟议框架和标准是基于实践观点和专家意见制定的。因此,为了在其他航空工业中实现,该框架可能需要进行小的修改。实际意义研究了无人驾驶飞机的两个重要子系统,并介绍了该方法的性能。独创性/价值这项研究是为确定无人驾驶飞机的维修计划而进行的独创性工作,其应用迅速发展。在这项工作中考虑了实用参数和设计参数。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose an improved multi-objective optimization model for the condition-based maintenance (CBM) of single-component systems which considers periodic imperfect maintenance and ecological factors.Design/methodology/approachBased on the application of non-periodic preventive CBM, two recursion models are built for the system: hazard rate and the environmental degradation factor. This paper also established an optimal multi-objective model with a normalization process. The multiple-attribute value theory is used to obtain the optimal preventive maintenance (PM) interval. The simulation and sensitivity analyses are applied to obtain further rules.FindingsAn increase in the number of the occurrences could shorten the duration of a maintenance cycle. The maintenance techniques and maintenance efficiency could be improved by increasing system availability, reducing cost rate and improving degraded condition.Practical implicationsIn reality, a variety of environmental situations may occur subsequent to the operations of an advanced manufacturing system. This model could be applied in real cases to help the manufacturers better discover the optimal maintenance cycle with minimized cost and degraded condition of the environment, helping the corporations better fulfill their CSR as well.Originality/valuePrevious research on single-component condition-based predictive maintenance usually focused on the maintenance costs and availability of a system, while ignoring the possible pollution from system operations. This paper proposed a modified multi-objective optimization model considering environment influence which could more comprehensively analyze the factors affecting PM interval.

PurposeIn the context of the Industry 4.0, this paper aims to investigate the state of the art of Italian manufacturing, focusing the attention on the implementation of intelligent predictive maintenance (IPdM) and 4.0 key enabling technologies (KETs), analyzing advantages and limitations encountered by companies.Design/methodology/approachA survey has been developed by the University of Parma in cooperation with the Italian Workers' Compensation Authority (INAIL) and was submitted to a sample of Italian companies. Overall, 70 answers were collected and analyzed.FindingsResults show that the 54% of companies implemented smart technologies, increasing quality and safety, reducing the operating costs and sometimes improving the process' sustainability. However, IPdM was implemented only by the 37% of respondents: thanks to big data collection and analytics, Internet of Things, machine learning and collaborative robots, they reduced downtime and maintenance costs. These changes were implemented mainly by large companies, located in northern Italy. To spread the use of IPdM in Italian manufacturing, the high initial investment, lack of skilled labor and difficulties in the integration of new digital technologies with the existing infrastructure are the main obstacles to overcome.Originality/valueThe article gives an overview on the current state of the art of 4.0 technologies implementation in Italy: it is useful not only for companies that want to discover the implementations' advantages but also for institutions or research centres that could help them to solve the encountered obstacles.
目的在工业4.0的背景下,本文旨在调查意大利制造业的现状,重点关注智能预测维护(IPdM)和4.0关键使能技术(KET)的实施,分析企业面临的优势和局限性。设计/方法/方法帕尔马大学与意大利工人赔偿局(INAIL)合作制定了一项调查,并提交给了意大利公司的样本。总共收集并分析了70个答案。调查结果显示,54%的公司采用了智能技术,提高了质量和安全性,降低了运营成本,有时还提高了流程的可持续性。然而,只有37%的受访者实施了IPdM:得益于大数据收集和分析、物联网、机器学习和协作机器人,他们减少了停机时间和维护成本。这些变化主要由位于意大利北部的大公司实施。为了在意大利制造业推广IPdM的使用,初期投资高、缺乏熟练劳动力以及新的数字技术与现有基础设施的整合困难是需要克服的主要障碍。独创性/价值本文概述了意大利4.0技术实施的现状:这不仅对希望发现实施优势的公司有用,而且对可以帮助他们解决遇到的障碍的机构或研究中心也有用。

PurposeIn this paper, a data mining approach is proposed for monitoring the conditions leading to a rail wheel high impact load. The proposed approach incorporates logical analysis of data (LAD) and ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms in extracting patterns of high impact loads and normal loads from historical railway records. In addition, the patterns are employed in establishing a classification model used for classifying unseen observations. A case study representing real-world impact load data is presented to illustrate the impact of the proposed approach in improving railway services.Design/methodology/approachApplication of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches becomes an essential tool in improving the performance of railway transportation systems. By using these approaches, the knowledge extracted from historical data can be employed in railway assets monitoring to maintain the assets in a reliable state and to improve the service provided by the railway network.FindingsResults achieved by the proposed approach provide a prognostic system used for monitoring the conditions surrounding rail wheels. Incorporating this prognostic system in surveilling the rail wheels indeed results in better railway services as trips with no-delay or no-failure can be realized. A comparative study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach versus other classification algorithms. In addition to the highly interpretable results obtained by the generated patterns, the comparative study demonstrates that the proposed approach provides classification accuracy higher than other common machine learning classification algorithms.Originality/valueThe methodology followed in this research employs ACO algorithm as an artificial intelligent technique and LDA as a machine learning algorithm in analyzing wheel impact load alarm-collected datasets. This new methodology provided a promising classification model to predict future alarm and a prognostic system to guide the system while avoiding this alarm.

PurposeSchool infrastructure is one of critical factors that significantly contribute to the educational outcomes, and therefore, maintaining the high quality of school infrastructure becomes of critical importance. Due to the ageing of school assets over time in combination with budget constraint and rapid growth of student enrolment, many public schools are currently struggling to maintain the required standard for long term. However, to date, the goal of providing the best maintenance practices to public schools has not been achieved.Design/methodology/approachThe present study focuses on studying the balance between the asset and maintenance management strategies and the funding model through conducting state-of-the-art literature review and qualitative analysis in the context of public schools in Australia and other developed countries around the world. Review of journal articles, different government reports and other available resources were used to collect and analyse the data in this study.FindingsAs part of this review, significant under investment in maintenance and asset renewals were identified as main challenges in asset management in public school facilities. Although different maintenance strategies were used in school infrastructure, adequate funding, adequate robust asset management plans (AMPs) and the involvement of private sectors have been identified as the key factors that govern the success in school infrastructure maintenance. It also shows that funding of approximately 2–3% of asset replacement value (ARV) on school infrastructure is required to maintain school facilities for long-term. Further, the procurement methods such as public private partnership including private finance initiatives (PFIs) have shown great improvements in maintenance process in school infrastructure.Originality/valueThe study provides a review of different AMPs and funding models in school infrastructure and their efficiencies and shortcoming in detail. Different states and countries use different maintenance models, and challenges associated with each model were also discussed. Further this study also provides some conclusive evidence for better maintenance performance for school buildings.
学校基础设施是影响教育成果的关键因素之一,因此,保持学校基础设施的高质量变得至关重要。由于学校资产随着时间的推移而老化,再加上预算限制和学生入学人数的快速增长,许多公立学校目前正努力维持所要求的长期标准。然而,迄今为止,为公立学校提供最佳维修方法的目标尚未实现。设计/方法/途径本研究的重点是通过对澳大利亚和世界其他发达国家公立学校进行最先进的文献回顾和定性分析,研究资产和维护管理策略与资助模式之间的平衡。本研究使用期刊文章、不同的政府报告和其他可用资源来收集和分析数据。作为审查的一部分,在维护和资产更新方面的重大投资不足被确定为公立学校设施资产管理的主要挑战。虽然在学校基础设施中使用了不同的维护策略,但充足的资金、足够健全的资产管理计划(amp)和私营部门的参与已被确定为管理学校基础设施维护成功的关键因素。报告还显示,为了长期维护学校设施,需要为学校基础设施提供大约2-3%的资产重置价值(ARV)。此外,包括私人融资倡议(pfi)在内的公私伙伴关系等采购方法在学校基础设施的维护过程中表现出了很大的改善。原创性/价值本研究详细回顾了学校基础设施的不同amp和资助模式,以及它们的效率和不足。不同的州和国家使用不同的维护模型,并且还讨论了与每种模型相关的挑战。此外,本研究也为改善学校建筑物的维修性能提供了一些结论性的证据。

However, to date, the goal of providing the best maintenance practices to public schools has not been achieved.Design/methodology/approachThe present study focuses on studying the balance between the asset and maintenance management strategies and the funding model through conducting state-of-the-art literature review and qualitative analysis in the context of public schools in Australia and other developed countries around the world. Review of journal articles, different government reports and other available resources were used to collect and analyse the data in this study.FindingsAs part of this review, significant under investment in maintenance and asset renewals were identified as main challenges in asset management in public school facilities. Although different maintenance strategies were used in school infrastructure, adequate funding, adequate robust asset management plans (AMPs) and the involvement of private sectors have been identified as the key factors that govern the success in school infrastructure maintenance. It also shows that funding of approximately 2–3% of asset replacement value (ARV) on school infrastructure is required to maintain school facilities for long-term. Further, the procurement methods such as public private partnership including private finance initiatives (PFIs) have shown great improvements in maintenance process in school infrastructure.Originality/valueThe study provides a review of different AMPs and funding models in school infrastructure and their efficiencies and shortcoming in detail. Different states and countries use different maintenance models, and challenges associated with each model were also discussed. Further this study also provides some conclusive evidence for better maintenance performance for school buildings.","PeriodicalId":16938,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43807292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PurposeReliability and maintainability estimation of any system depends on the identification of the best-fitted probability distribution of failure and repair rates. The parameters of the best-fitted probability distribution are also contributing significantly to reliability estimation. In this work, a case study of load haul dump (LHD) machines is illustrated that consider the optimization of failure and repair rate parameters using two well established metaheuristic approaches, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). This paper aims to analyze the aforementioned points.Design/methodology/approachThe data on time between failures (TBF) and time to repairs (TTR) are collected for a LHD machine. The descriptive statistical analysis of TBF & TTR data is performed, trend and serial correlation tested and using Anderson–Darling (AD) value best-fitted distributions are identified for repair and failure times of various subsystems. The traditional methods of estimation like maximum likelihood estimation, method of moments, least-square estimation method help only in finding the local solution. Here, for finding the global solution two well-known metaheuristic approaches are applied.FindingsThe reliability of the LHD machine after 60 days on the real data set is 28.55%, using GA on 250 generations is 17.64%, and using PSO on 100 generations and 100 iterations is 30.25%. The PSO technique gives the global best value of reliability.Practical implicationsThe present work will be very convenient for reliability engineers, researchers and maintenance managers to understand the failure and repair pattern of LHD machines. The same methodology can be applied in other process industries also.Originality/valueIn this case study, initially likelihood function of the best-fitted distribution is optimized by GA and PSO. Reliability and maintainability of LHD machines evaluated by the traditional approach, GA and PSO are compared. These results will be very helpful for maintenance engineers to plan new maintenance strategies for better functioning of LHD machines.
目的任何系统的可靠性和可维护性估计都取决于故障和维修率的最佳拟合概率分布的确定。最佳拟合概率分布的参数也对可靠性估计有显著贡献。在这项工作中,以重载倾卸(LHD)机器为例,使用两种成熟的元启发式方法,即遗传算法(GA)和粒子群优化(PSO),考虑故障和修复率参数的优化。本文旨在对上述几点进行分析。设计/方法/方法收集LHD机器的故障间隔时间(TBF)和维修时间(TTR)数据。对TBF和TTR数据进行描述性统计分析,测试趋势和序列相关性,并使用Anderson–Darling(AD)值确定不同子系统的维修和故障时间的最佳拟合分布。传统的估计方法,如最大似然估计、矩量法、最小二乘估计方法,只能帮助找到局部解。在这里,为了找到全局解,应用了两种众所周知的元启发式方法。结果LHD机器在实际数据集上60天后的可靠性为28.55%,在250代上使用GA为17.64%,在100代和100次迭代上使用PSO为30.25%。PSO技术给出了可靠性的全局最佳值。实际意义本工作将非常方便可靠性工程师、研究人员和维修经理了解LHD机器的故障和维修模式。同样的方法也可以应用于其他加工行业。原始性/值在本案例研究中,通过遗传算法和粒子群算法对最佳拟合分布的初始似然函数进行了优化。比较了传统方法、遗传算法和粒子群算法对LHD整机可靠性和维修性的评价。这些结果将非常有助于维护工程师规划新的维护策略,以更好地发挥LHD机器的功能。

PurposeWith the irresistible growth in digitization, data backup policies become essential more than ever for organizations seeking to improve reliability and availability of organizations' information systems. However, since backup operations do not come free, there is a need for a data-informed policy to decide how often and which type of backups should be taken. In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive mathematical framework to explore the design space for backup policies and to optimize backup type and interval in a given system. In the authors' framework, three separate cost factors related to the backup process are identified: backup cost, recovery cost and data loss cost. The objective function has a multi-criteria structure leading to a backup policy minimizing a weighed function of these factors. To formalize the cost and objective functions, the authors get help from renewal theory in reliability modeling. The authors' optimization framework also formulates mixed policies involving both full and incremental backups. Through numerical examples, the authors show how the authors' optimization framework could facilitate cost-saving backup policies.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology starts with designing different backup policies based on system parameters. Each constructed policy is optimized in terms of backup period using renewal theory. After selecting the best back-up policy, the results are demonstrated through numerical studies.FindingsData backup polices that are tailored to system parameters can result in significant gains for IT (Information Technology) systems. Collecting the necessary parameters to design intelligent backup policies can also help managers understand managers' systems better. Designed policies not only provides the frequency of back up operations, but also the type of backups.Originality/valueThe original contribution of this study is the explicit construction and determination of the best backup policies for IT systems that are prone to failure. By applying renewal theory in reliability, the authors present a mathematical framework for the joint optimization of backup cost factors, i.e. backup cost, recovery time cost and data loss cost.
随着数字化的迅猛发展,数据备份策略对于寻求提高组织信息系统可靠性和可用性的组织来说变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。但是,由于备份操作不是免费的,因此需要一个数据知情的策略来决定应该多久进行一次备份,以及采取哪种类型的备份。本文提出了一个全面的数学框架,用于研究给定系统中备份策略的设计空间,以及优化备份类型和间隔。在作者的框架中,确定了与备份过程相关的三个单独的成本因素:备份成本、恢复成本和数据丢失成本。目标函数具有多准则结构,导致备份策略最小化这些因素的加权函数。为了形式化成本函数和目标函数,作者借鉴了可靠性建模中的更新理论。作者的优化框架还制定了包含完整备份和增量备份的混合策略。通过数值算例,说明了本文提出的优化框架如何促进节约成本的备份策略。设计/方法/方法首先根据系统参数设计不同的备份策略。利用更新理论对构建的策略进行备份周期优化。选择最佳备份策略后,通过数值研究对结果进行了验证。发现根据系统参数定制的数据备份策略可以为IT(信息技术)系统带来显著的收益。收集必要的参数来设计智能备份策略,也可以帮助管理者更好地了解自己的系统。设计策略不仅提供了备份操作的频率,还提供了备份的类型。原创性/价值本研究的原创性贡献在于明确构建并确定了容易发生故障的IT系统的最佳备份策略。将更新理论应用于可靠性,提出了备份成本、恢复时间成本和数据丢失成本联合优化的数学框架。

PurposeMaintenance policy is an element of building maintenance management that deals with organisation policy, planning and procedures, and delineates how maintenance units in an organisation will manage specific building components, auxiliary facilities and services. Given this contextual setting, this study investigates whether organisational maintenance policies (OMPs) utilised in developed countries are relevant in developing countries – using Nigeria as a case study exemplar.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical research design (using deductive reasoning) was implemented for this research. Specifically, a Delphi study conducted revealed 23 elements that impact OMP development in Nigeria.FindingsOf these twenty elements, six had a very high impact on maintenance management (VHI: 9.00–10.00), nine variables had a high impact (HI: 7.00–8.99) and eight other variables scored a medium impact (MI: 5.00–6.99). Emergent findings reveal that the elements of organisational maintenance policy that engender effective building maintenance management include preparation of safety procedure, optimisation of the maintenance policy, optimisation of the maintenance action plan, well-defined priority system, risk factor establishment, suitable maintenance procedures and a clearly delineated process.Practical implicationsThe study findings will guide policymakers in identifying the main elements required in maintenance policies development towards making national public asset preservation and economic gains. Also, the content of the future educational curriculum on maintenance management study will be more receptive to the body of knowledge and the built environment industry.Originality/valueCumulatively, the research presented illustrates that these elements replicate those adopted in other countries and that effective maintenance management of public buildings is assured when these elements are integral to the development of an OMP.
目的维护政策是建筑维护管理的一个要素,涉及组织政策、规划和程序,并规定了组织中的维护单位将如何管理特定的建筑组件、辅助设施和服务。在这种背景下,本研究以尼日利亚为例,调查了发达国家使用的组织维护政策(OMP)是否与发展中国家相关。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用了实证研究设计(使用演绎推理)。具体而言,德尔菲的一项研究揭示了影响尼日利亚OMP发展的23个因素。在这20个因素中,有6个对维护管理有很大影响(VHI:9.00-10.00),9个变量具有较高影响(HI:7.00–8.99),其他8个变量具有中等影响(MI:5.00–6.99)。紧急调查结果表明,产生有效建筑维护管理的组织维护政策要素包括安全程序的准备、维护政策的优化、维护行动计划的优化,明确的优先级系统、风险因素的建立、适当的维护程序和清晰的流程。实际意义研究结果将指导决策者确定维护政策制定所需的主要要素,以实现国家公共资产保护和经济收益。此外,未来维护管理研究教育课程的内容将更容易接受知识体系和建筑环境行业。独创性/价值累积起来,所提供的研究表明,这些元素复制了其他国家采用的元素,并且当这些元素是OMP开发的组成部分时,可以确保公共建筑的有效维护管理。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of early-stage maintenance clustering. Few researchers have previously studied early-stage maintenance clustering. Experience from product and service development has shown that early stages are critical to the development process, as most decisions are made during these stages. Similarly, most maintenance decisions are made during the early stages of maintenance development. Developing maintenance for clustering is expected to increase the potential of clustering.Design/methodology/approachA literature study and three case studies using the same data set were performed. The case studies simulate three stages of maintenance development by clustering based on the changes available at each given stage.FindingsThe study indicates an increased impact of maintenance clustering when clustering already in the first maintenance development stage. By performing clustering during the identification phase, 4.6% of the planned work hours can be saved. When clustering is done in the planning phase, 2.7% of the planned work hours can be saved. When planning is done in the scheduling phase, 2.4% of the planned work hours can be saved. The major difference in potential from the identification to the scheduling phase came from avoiding duplicate, unnecessary and erroneous work.Originality/valueThe findings from this study indicate a need for more studies on early-stage maintenance clustering, as few others have studied this.
目的本文的目的是研究早期维护集群的影响。以前很少有研究人员研究过早期维护集群。产品和服务开发的经验表明,早期阶段对开发过程至关重要,因为大多数决策都是在这些阶段做出的。同样,大多数维护决策都是在维护开发的早期阶段做出的。开发集群维护有望增加集群的潜力。设计/方法/方法使用相同的数据集进行了一项文献研究和三项案例研究。案例研究通过基于每个给定阶段可用的更改进行聚类来模拟维护开发的三个阶段。发现该研究表明,当集群已经处于第一个维护开发阶段时,维护集群的影响会增加。通过在识别阶段执行集群,可以节省4.6%的计划工作时间。当在计划阶段进行集群时,可以节省2.7%的计划工作时间。当在计划阶段进行计划时,可以节省2.4%的计划工时。从识别到日程安排阶段的主要潜力差异来自于避免重复、不必要和错误的工作。原创性/价值这项研究的发现表明,需要对早期维护集群进行更多的研究,因为很少有其他人对此进行过研究。
