“…Different sequences for implementing the RCM [6,10,11,12] are identified, but the main benefit offered by this methodology, is knowledge about the entire maintenance process, which depends on the detail level given in the process [13]. In the first instance, the RCM process follows recognizing and identifying the functional requirements of the items in the production context and it establishes the desired reliability levels.…”

Abstract. This article presents a Decision Support System which focuses on an important organizational context: maintenance decisions. Usually, a specific management system is required to deal with data on failure, reliability, maintainability and availability regarding equipment. The maintenance context is surrounded by uncertainty and does not provide a clear profit from its activities, and thus requires a tool which fits in with organizational needs. The tool presented in this paper considers the requirements and approaches of an industrial production system, using concepts and methodologies from Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to establish maintenance strategies, such as inspection and preventive maintenance planning, and also takes into consideration sophisticated MCDA and FMECA models for strategic decision making.

In highly flexible and integrated manufacturing systems such as those in semiconductor manufacturing, there exist strong dynamic interactions between the equipment condition, operations executed on the equipment and the resulting product quality. These interactions necessitate a methodology that integrates the decisions of maintenance scheduling and production operations. Currently, maintenance and production operations decision-making are two decoupled processes. In this paper we aim to devise an integrated decision making policy for maintenance scheduling and production sequencing with the objective of maximizing an adaptive profit function, while taking into account operation-dependent degradation models and a production target. In order to obtain the optimal decision policy, a metaheuristic method based on the results of discrete-event simulations of the target manufacturing system is used. The new approach is demonstrated in simulations of a generic cluster tool routinely used in semiconductor manufacturing. The results show that jointly making maintenance and production sequencing decisions consistently outperforms the current practice of making these decisions separately.

“…Maintenance can be defined as a combination of tasks which are executed in order to maintain or restore organisational assets to or above a minimum required operating standard which is set out either by; the component manufacturer or the organisation in which they operate (Desphande, 2002). Although, maintenance is a support function to other operational paradigms, it can arguably be defined as one of the most important functions within an organisation as the failure to optimise maintenance practices has the potential to create needlessly high production costs.…”

A critical analysis of maintenance training regimes for an industrialised economy

As a management paradigm, it is accepted that maintenance management is less well developed than other management activities. One of the reasons for this underdevelopment can be traced to the way maintenance personnel are trained during their vocational, undergraduate and initial professional development phases. Historical records for all vocational training and all current undergraduate courses in Ireland that include a maintenance training element were reviewed. This course of research aims to discover the reasons why such training is poorly resourced, especially in an era where access to statistical modelling and predictive maintenance tools is commonplace. Ireland provides an interesting locus for the research as Ireland has a rich manufacturing topography. The research has shown that despite a well-funded third level and further education sector, Ireland still suffers from poor levels of maintenance personnel training. This research will be of interest to senior managers concerned with enterprise optimisation.
