K. T. Meselhy, W. H. ElMaraghy and H. A. ElMaraghy, A Periodicity Metric for Assessing Maintenance Strategies, Proceedings of the 1st CIRP Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS2) Conference, Cranfield University, 1-2 April 2009, pp113
Abstract
The maintenance policy in manufacturing systems is devised to reset the machines functionality in an economical fashion in order to keep the products quality within acceptable levels. Therefore, there is a need for a metric to evaluate and quantify function resetting due to the adopted maintenance policy. A novel metric for measuring the functional periodicity has been developed using the complexity theory. It is based on the rate and extent of function resetting. It can be used as an important criterion for comparing the different maintenance policy alternatives. An industrial example is used to illustrate the application of the new metric.
