This paper is concerned with cost analysis model in periodic maintenance policy. Generally periodic maintenance policy in which item is repaired periodic interval times. And in the article minimal repair is considered. Mimimal repair means that if a unit fails, unit is instantaneously restored to same hazard rate curve as before failure. In the paper periodic maintenance policy with minimal repair is as follows; Operating unit is periodically replaced in periodic maintenance time, if a failure occurs between minimal repair and periodic maintenance time, unit is replaced by a new item until tile periodic maintenance time comes. Also unit undergoes minimal repair at failures in minimal-repair-for-failure interval. Then total expected cost per unit time is calculated according to scale parameter of failure distribution. Maintenance cost factors are included operating, fixed, minimal repair, periodic maintenance and new item replacement cost. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of system has weibull distribution.

In the paper periodic maintenance policy with minimal repair is as follows; Operating unit is periodically replaced in periodic maintenance time, if a failure occurs between minimal repair and periodic maintenance time, unit is replaced by a spate until the periodic time comes. Also unit undergoes minimal repair at failures in minimal-repair-for-failure interval. Then total expected cost per unit time is calculated according to maintenance period and scale parameter of failure distribution. Total cost factors ate included operating, fixed, minimal repair, periodic maintenance and replacement cost Numerical example is shown in which failure time of system has erlang distribution.

The solution of maintenance decision support system for the gas turbine engine, which is currently operating in GUNSAN combined cycle power plant, was developed and is consist of online monitoring module, periodic performance trending module, optimal compressor washing interval analysis module and hot component management module. Also, GUI platform was applied to this solution for the user to monitoring the analyzed result of engine performance condition and then to make a decision of the consequent maintenance action. In online condition monitoring module, the performance degradation of engine is provided by the analysis of difference between the real time measurement data compared to exist engine performance. The optimal compressor washing interval module produced the washing interval of maximum net profit value by researching the maintenance expense and the loss profit value corresponds to the performance degradation with economic assessment algorithm. Thus, this solution support the user to enable the optimal maintenance and operation of gas turbine engine with overall analysis of engine condition and main information.

Bridge Control and Inspection ensures the safety, utility, and durability of Bridge in use. This Paper compares Control-interval of Germany with that of Korea, which was described in the special law recently revised concerning the Safety Checkup of Facilities, and analyzes Period of Damage Discovery that the Damage report of other countries showed. According to a result of the analysis, damage requiring structure repair and reinforcement more frequently been discovered even in less than a decade after the completion of construction. The paper, therefore, suggested the reregulation on the Korean Control Interval on the basis of the result.

As a system complexity increases and technology innovation progresses rapidly, leasing the equipment is considered as an important issue in many engineering areas. In practice, many engineering fields lease the equipment because it is an economical way to lease the equipment rather than to own the equipment. In addition, as the maintenance actions for the equipment are costly and need a specialist, the lessor is responsible for the maintenance actions in most leased contract. Hence, the lessor should establish the optimal maintenance strategy to minimize the maintenance cost. This paper proposes two periodic preventive maintenance policies for the leased equipment. The preventive maintenance action of policy 1 is performed with a periodic interval, in which their intervals are the same until the end of lease period. The other policy is to determine the periodic preventive maintenance interval minimizing total maintenance cost during the lease period. In addition, this paper presents two decision-making models to determine the preventive maintenance strategy for leased equipment based on the lessor's preference between the maintenance cost and the reliability at the end of lease period. The structural properties of the proposed decision-making model are investigated and algorithms to search the optimal maintenance policy that are satisfied by the lessor are provided. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed model. The results show that a maintenance policy minimizing the maintenance cost is selected as a reasonable decision as the lease term becomes shorter. Moreover, the frequent preventive maintenance actions are performed when the minimal repair cost is higher than the preventive maintenance cost, resulting in higher maintenance cost.

Taguchi assumed that a product characteristic has the uniform distribution in its preventive maintenance limit when deriving the expected loss generated by the quality deviation. But it is reasonable to assume that a product characteristic has the normal distribution than the uniform distribution. On this paper, we first find the optimum inspection interval and the optimum preventive maintenance limit under the truncated triangular distribution. Secondly we use the beta-general distribution and compare with the truncated triangular distribution. By using the numerical examples, we find the optimum inspection interval and the optimum preventive maintenance limit under their distributions. As a result, we find that the beta-general distribution gives the best solution and easy calculation.

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.

The solution was developed for the maintenance decision support of combined cycle power plant gas turbine. The developed solution was applied to MHI501G gas turbine and is, in present, on the process of field test at GUNSAN combined cycle power plant, South Korea. The developed solution provides the calculated result of optimal overhaul maintenance period through following modules: Real Time Performance Monitoring, Model-Based Diagnostics, Performance Trend Analysis, Optimal Overhaul Maintenance Interval, Compressor Washing Period Management, and Blade Path Temperature Analysis. Model-Based Diagnostics module analyzed the differences between the data of gas turbine performance model and the online measurement. Compressor washing management module suggests the optimal point of balancing between the compressor performance and the maintenance cost.

The study of maintenance planning is important in military weapon systems because it can improve their availability and reduce the operational and maintenance cost during the total life cycle. In maintenance planning, it is important to determine the preventive maintenance task and its optimal interval. This paper focuses on the hard time task, which is one of the preventive maintenance tasks. A hard time task removes an item or restorative action before some specified maximum age limit to prevent functional failure. The Monte-Carlo simulation model was proposed to help understand the cost effectiveness of a hard time task. In the simulation, various shape parameters of the Weibull distribution and cost ratio of corrective maintenance to preventive maintenance were assumed. Using a Monte-Carlo simulation, a quantified cost saving effect and optimal preventive maintenance interval were suggested.
