In order for a machine, especially used in the defense industry, to consistently operate during its life-time, lots of study has been done in machine design as well as machine maintenance. However, the realistic study is necessary in management and operation of a military support facility, where spare parts are stored and retrieved. In this paper, efficient arrangement of spare parts are proposed to acquire increased in efficiency and decreased in cost for operation management of the military support facility. First, spare parts is assorted by MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure) and divided in to three groups A/B/C as an alternative arrangement. Each defined alternatives will go under simulations and RULA(Rapid Upper Limb Assessment), which is posture classification scheme evaluation attributes, to find working time and posture difficulty and lastly by entropy measurement to be selected. This research proposes the efficient spare parts arrangement in military support facility to minimize working time and posture difficulty. By taking system and human engineering approach together into consideration, it will lead to show a specific value.

A plan for the development of reliability-based ROK amphibious assault vehicles is proposed. By analyzing the development case of the U.S. EFV, considerations for the successful development of the next-generation Korea Forces amphibious assault vehicle are presented. If the vehicle reliability can be improved to the level of the fourth highest priority electric unit for power units, suspensions, decelerators, and body groups, which have the highest priority among fault frequency items, a system level MTBF of 36.4%↑ can be achieved, and the operational availability can be increased by 3.5%↑. The next-generation amphibious assault vehicles must fulfill certain operating and performance requirements, the underlying systems must be built, and sequencing of the hybrid engine and the modular concept should be considered. Along with big-data- and machine-learning-based failure prediction, machine maintenance based on augmented reality/virtual reality and remote maintenance should be used to improve the ability to maintain combat readiness and reduce lifecycle costs.

In this paper, we introduced a fault tolerant control system with the aim of achieving higher degree of reliability for a PLC control system in the field network. The system reliability was evaluated by MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure). The design of the fault tolerant system through CC-Link of Mitsubisi's MELSEC network was presented. In addition, the PLC data is transmitted from the field network's PC to the host PC by TCP/IP Window socket.

In development phase of the Aircraft Systems, the reliability prediction of electronic equipments are usually performed using MIL-HDBK-217. The reliability of fielded electronic systems, however, used to be underestimated with MIL-HDBK-217. To solve this problem, some alternatives are suggested and Telcordia SR-332 is among them. In this case study, the reliability of ESU which controls gas turbine engine is predicted using Telcordia SR-332 along with the development test data. The predicted reliabilities of ESU using Telcordia SR-332 and MIL-HDBK-217 are also compared. As a result this case study showed that the predicted reliability using Telcordia SR-332 was better close to field(operation) reliability than MIL-HDBK-217.

고품질의 소프트웨어를 개발하는 사업의 중요성이 나날이 증대되고 있는 시점에서 소프트웨어를 종합군수지원 관점에서 해석하려고 하는 연구가 최근에 진행되고 있다. 즉, 소프트웨어 설계자의 입장은 소프트웨어 개발도 중요한 문제이지만 소프트웨어를 얼마나 가용성 있게 유지하는가에 더 많은 관심을 갖게 된다. 하드웨어는 개발 시부터 종합군수지원이라는 기법을 적용하여 체계 배치 시 체계 장비가 최상의 가용도를 가질 수 있도록 하는 노력이 이루어지고 있으며, 그 결과도 현실화되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 하드웨어에서만 적용하고 있는 종합군수지원 개발 기법을 소프트웨어에 적용하여 소프트웨어에 대한 종합군수지원 적용방안을 제시하고, 향후 소프트웨어 개발/배치 시에 경제적이고 가용도가 높은 소프트웨어의 개발/활용이 가능하도록 군수지원 분석을 통한 종합군수지원 활용 방안을 제안한다.

We have developed a digital control rod control system not only to improve its performance but also to improve its reliability and speed of response so that it can replace the old fashioned analog system. However, a new developed digital control system should be tested to prove the validity by using any prototype or mock-up before application. The reliability prediction and the reliability block diagram analysis methods were adopted to verify the reliability of the developed hardware. For the case of software, especially fur a new developed control algorithm it has been tested to prove performances and validation by using a dynamic simulator and mock-up of control rod drive mechanism altogether. Here we want to present some key factors regarding to the new developed digital system with some verification procedures.

In 2000, US Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) released the status of reliability requirement levels and achievements for the military equipment which evaluated through the operational tests from 1985 to 1990 and from 1996 to 2000. The rates of military equipments that do not meet reliability requirements are 59% from 1985 to 1990 and 80% from 1996 to 2000. Thus, the US Army has figured out causes, taken steps and put them into practice, This paper is about the recent reliability problems and the latest tendency about US military equipment to acquirere liability level.

국내 원전에 신뢰도 기반 정비(RCM : Reliability Centered Maintenance) 기법을 도입하기 위해 수행하고 있는 영광 1,2호기 시법계통 RCM 분석에서 관련 기기의 고장데이터를 RCM 분석 방법론에 따라 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 작업의뢰서와 작업보고서 기록내용을 토대로 지배적인 고장모드 및 다빈도 고장발생 기기를 파악하여 고장원인을 분석하였으며, 기기 유형으로 분류하여 고장들을 분석하였다. 분석결과 지배적인 고장모드는 EPRI에서 분류한 고장모드에 모두 포함되었으며, 고장빈도가 높은 기기의 고장원인은 운전환경, 사용유체, 운전형태, 기기 형식 등에 따라 고장메커니즘이 다르게 나타나는 것으로 분석되었다. 기기 유형으로 분류하여 고장모드별로 고장율을 분석한 결과 미국의 Generic Data(IEEE Std 500-1984)와 근소한 차이를 보이거나 약간 낮은 것으로 분석되었으며, 고장율이 높은 기기 유형을 단위 기기별로 세분화하여 분석한 결과 공기구동 조절벨브의 외부누설 고장율은 1.10E-06 이지만 충전유량 조절밸브의 고장율은 1.70E-05로서 약 10배 정도로 고장율이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 기기별로 세분화한 고장을 분석 결과는 시범계통 RCM 분석시 고장모드 영향분석(FMEA. Failure Mode and Effective Analysis) 단계에서 필수기기를 선정하는 하나의 인자로 활용하였으며, 고장율의 역수로 구한 고장간 평균시간(MTBF:Mean Time Between Failure)은 정비주기 선정시 기초데이터로 활용된다.

Over the past twenty years, the maintenance system has been developed and its importance has been increased. For the effective maintenance of the urban transit, we have developed the maintenance system based on the concept of RCM(Reliability Centered Maintenance). RCM analysis is a systematic approach to developing a cost-effective maintenance strategy based on the various components's reliability of the system in question. It is performed according to process that includes the following steps; definition of function and functional failures of the systems, construction of RB D(Reliability Block Diagram), performance of FMEA(Failure Modes & Effects Analysis) and calculation of the reliability index. The final process of RCM is to determine appropriate failure maintenance strategies. This paper aims to define the procedure of maintenace based on the concept of RCM for urban transit. The key for a successful maintenance system is an automated scheduling to the maximum extent possible and timely executions. The developed system issues maintenance plan and repair request based on analyzed data and maintenance experience.
