Effect of Risk Priority Number Values for Multiple Effects in Maintenance Optimization
Abstract: In this paper, authors describe an optimization framework for finding optimal maintenance policies in continuous process operations and analyze and quantify the reaction of different variables on optimal maintenance schedules. A necessary idea behind maintenance optimization is that of life-cycle costing, where the total cost of design, building, maintenance, is considered over the entire life span of the system or structure in question. The system’s effectiveness measure is introduced which …
