Description
Summary:A systematic evaluation approach to establishing what maintenance tasks are to be performed on which systems, structures or components and at what periodicity, can lead to optimize the use of resources (maintenance costs, personnel doses, equipment and tools, competent personnel, etc.) allocated for maintenance and availability of plant. This approach can be used in establishing a preventive maintenance program and for the optimization of the ongoing maintenance program. The process seeks to make the best use of condition-based maintenance where unnecessarily costly maintenance actions and associated maintenance error induced failures can be avoided. If a probabilistic risk assessment has been performed, its result can be used to help define the important systems and components. This optimization process can lead to the achievement of nearly all maintenance targets concerning safety, reliability and cost. The current publication was developed to collect and analyze proven maintenance optimization methods and techniques (engineering and organizational) in Member States. Appendices to this publication consists of selected papers on maintenance optimization presented during the preparation of this document.--Publisher's description.
