Maintenance Analytics – The New Know in Maintenance

摘要

Abstract: Decision-making in maintenance has to be augmented to instantly understand and efficiently act, i.e. the new know. The new know in maintenance needs to focus on two aspects of knowing: 1) what can be known and 2) what must be known, in order to enable the maintenance decision-makers to take appropriate actions. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a concept for knowledge discovery in maintenance with focus on Big Data and analytics. The concept is called Maintenance Analytics (MA) . MA focuses in the new knowledge discovery in maintenance. MA addresses the process of discovery, understanding, and communication of maintenance data from four time-related perspectives, i.e. 1) “Maintenance Descriptive Analytics (monitoring)”; 2) “Maintenance Diagnostic Analytics” ; 3) “Maintenance Predictive Analytics”; and 4) “Maintenance Prescriptive analytics” .
