Course contents *

The course covers the sub-areas:

• operational reliability
• failure modes- identification
• choice of maintenance strategy
• condition based maintenance
• planning and management of maintenance

Intended learning outcomes *

After completing the course with a passing grade the student should be able to:

• use correct terminology define concepts describe reliability related properties of the production system and the maintenance organisation
• characterise the operational reliability of the system as function of functional reliability, maintainability and maintenance safety
• in a structured way identify, model, simulate, predict and evaluate failure modes in production systems
• in a systematic way choose an appropriate and cost efficient maintenance strategy and develop adequate, cost efficient maintenance programs, and plan, schedule and coordinate them
• identify and specify requirements for a condition based solution
• describe and quantify an maintenance organisation that fits the company's needs and possibilities
