Assessing the maintenance in a process industry using a semi-parametric approach

摘要

in developing any successful maintenance strategy it is important to be able to estimate the rate of occurrence of maintenance events. In a previous paper the authors have argued that there are advantages to using a non- parametric or semi-parametric approach to such analysis. In this paper the authors explore the use of the approach to data from the water industry using a case study. The approach provides insight into the context revealing the impact of maintenance on the process. The effect of the maintenance strategy can be evaluated.
