Objectives

Background
The effectiveness of the Maintenance of a Production Plant lies in its ability of assuring a certain required level of technical availability, and optimizing the entrepreneurial productivity and flexibility and the product’s quality itself. All the maintenance actions shall comply with defined strategic company goals and organizational schemes.

Specific Aims
The aim of this subject is to acquaint the students with an integrated overall view of concepts, techniques and strategies most commonly used in Maintenance Management. At the end of the course it is expected that students have a global view of concepts, problems, available tools and decision support systems to help them making the best decisions to solve the main maintenance management problems related to TPM (total productive maintenance) and RCM (reliability centered maintenance).

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the semester, students should be capable of:
- Analyse the actual or expected reliability of a product, process or service, identifying the actions to reduce the failures and mitigate their effect;
- Acquire competences in using tools and techniques for the lifetime analysis of systems;
- Acquire detailed knowledge of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
- Understand the critical factors of success when implementing TPM plans;
- Use tools and methodologies to support TPM, such as Kobetsu Kaizen, Autonomous Maintenance and Planned Maintenance

Program

Reliability: Introduction to failures and hazard rate.
Component reliability. Failure modes.
Weibull distribution. Component replacement policies (individual and group)

Repairable systems realiability and failure rate.
Bathtub curve. IID failures. Reliability growth models: Crow and Duane methods.
Reliabiliy block diagrams

Teaching methods and learning activities

The concepts and tecniques are introduced through problems and case studies. Throughout the course some software maintenance-related packages are also presented. Computers, "datashow" and white board are used for teaching support. Two invited talks will take place on “Equipment replacement” and “Total Productive Maintenance”.
