Integrating reliability, availability, maintainability and supportability with risk analysis for improved operation of the Afam thermal power-station

Conceptualisation for Implementing Total Productive Maintenance Through the Iso 9001:2008 Standard-Based Quality Management System

“…• The creation of a defect-free, interruption-free, and accident-free production environment [ Multi-skilling of employees [11,16,20].…”

Reliability Assessment of Cogeneration Power Plant in Textile Mill Using Fault Tree Analysis

“…Also, the need for long-term field data is of great importance for the evaluation of technical and economical performances [17]. Most industrial plants have been acquiring equipment failure data for several years, but seldom have those data been analyzed in a scientific manner [15]. In order to prepare the data for a reliability analysis, the analyst must convert the information in the equipment down-time logs into time-tofailure and time to repair from which MTBF (mean time between failures) and MTTR (mean time to repair) can be determined.…”

“…In order to prepare the data for a reliability analysis, the analyst must convert the information in the equipment down-time logs into time-tofailure and time to repair from which MTBF (mean time between failures) and MTTR (mean time to repair) can be determined. Equipment down-time logs may be constructed in a variety of formats, and the type of data in the log determines the process that must be used to convert the log entries to life data [15]. After due plant inspection and detailed interaction with the engineer of the plant, the failure data registered in the plant log book has been further authenticated.…”

“…In view of human interference in an automated control system, there is a need to create awareness among mill engineers about the importance of instrumentation in the operation and maintenance of the CHP. The concept of supportability includes considerations of participation, autonomy, education, training, reward, recognition, performance measurement, and management information systems, against which training and troubleshooting are implemented for the engineers of the plant by the respective distributed control system suppliers as stated by earlier investigators [15]. For such an analysis, there are models that can be developed in general terms that can easily be adapted to various system configurations without the need for major modifications [16].…”

Conceptual design of a web-based LNG plant management system through adoption of the integrated environment for design and maintenance

“…This center is currently working on three core projects: the development of core technologies for gas plants, the development of a high efficiency LNG liquefaction process and the development of a large scale LNG plant. Core 1, representing the development of core technologies for LNG plant consists of four parts: the development of RAM (Reliability, availability, and maintainability)-based modular technology for LNG plant, the development of a dynamic simulation for processes and systems, the establishment of an EPC technology standard for LNG plants and the improvement of engineering efficiency [2]. This research is important for ensuring the safety of equipment and systems during their operation in various types of LNG plants.…”
