Integrated Maintenance Planning in Manufacturing Systems, Umar M. Al-Turki; Tahir Ayar; Bekir Sami Yilbas; A

Benefit from improved safety, performance, and product deliveries to your customers. Achieve a higher rate of equipment availability, performance, product quality, and reliability. Integrated Reliability: Condition Monitoring and Maintenance of Equipment incorporates reliable engineering and mathematical modeling to help you move toward sustainable development in reliability condition monitoring and maintenance. This text introduces a cost-effective integrated reliability growth monitor, integrated reliability degradation monitor, technological inheritance coefficient sensors, and a maintenance tool that supplies real-time information for predicting and preventing potential failures of manufacturing processes and equipment.

The author highlights five key elements that are essential to any improvement program: improving overall equipment and part effectiveness, quality, and reliability; improving process performance with maintenance efficiency and effectiveness; training all employees involved; including operators in the daily maintenance and upkeep of the equipment; and implementing early equipment management and maintenance prevention design. He offers a sustainable solution with integrated reliability condition monitoring and maintenance of manufacturing processes, parts, and equipment in the IOFs with a technological inheritance model-based program.

This book contains 15 chapters that include details on:

• Improving the material-part-equipment system life cycle, reliability conditions, and manufacturing process productivity for wear, corrosion, and temperature resistance applications
• Maximizing the component and system reliability growth of parts and equipment
• Minimizing reliability degradation within the framework of a condition-based maintenance
• Analyzing the reliability degradation, wear, and other competing failure modes of nickel-based hard alloy-coated part mating surface with a technological inheritance model-based program
• Introducing a cost-effective integrated reliability monitor and maintenance strategy with a technological inheritance model-based software program

Integrated Reliability: Condition Monitoring and Maintenance of Equipment addresses potential failures from an asset manager, maintenance user, and operator's standpoint, and highlights the solutions to common failures and reliability problems for equipment in the IOFs.
