Maintainability Aspects in Maintenance Management

摘要

This paper discusses the need for the operator of equipment to continue the efforts of the manufacturer in the user environment in order to as sure the maintainability performance potential built into the system. The maintainability performance predicted for the system is usually based on an opera tions model that is assumed to be real but may differ in many ways from the actual operations environment. Downtime, availability, and maintenance manhours, the common maintainability performance criteria, can vary widely as a function of maintenance concepts and maintenance planning to control those elements that are crucial to the attainment of maintainability performance objectives. Data relating to operations are presented in regard to the maintainability performance pararieters they affect, and analyses are presented as examples of the types of andlyses system operators may perform in order to optimize maintain ability performance in the field.
