Development of a Simulation System for Reliability Centered Maintenance

신뢰성 기반 정비를 위한 시뮬레이션 시스템 개발

A simulation model is developed for planning maintenance, and it can be used in the procedure of Reliability-Centered Maintenance. System availability and the total cost of system operation are predicted by discrete event simulation. These two kinds of output are useful to determine the interval of preventive maintenance. This paper describes simulation logic, and focuses on modeling the maintenance effects and the relations of maintenance works. An example is described for illustrating the simulation model.
