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 andorganizational 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 and competences

At the end of the semester, students should be capable of:

-  Understand the role of Maintenance Management for the competitiveness of companies; have a global and integrated view of maintenance management (various types of maintenance, associated costs, planning and control).

 - 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

Teaching methods and learning activities

The course relies on a combination of case discussions, lectures, readings, and assignments. Throughout the course some software maintenance-related packages are also presented. Computers, "datashow" and white board are used for teaching support. One invited talk will take place about “Total Productive Maintenance” and a visit to a company that excels in Maintenance Management will be organized.

Theoretical classes: Case studies discussion.

 

Practical classes: problem solving;
