Age-based hybrid model for imperfect preventive maintenance.

From: IIE Transactions | Date: April 1, 2006| Author: El-Ferik, Sami; Ben-Daya, Mohamed | Copyright information

Several sequential Preventive Maintenance (PM) models for predetermined PM interval policies currently exist in the literature, however, much less effort has been devoted to age-based policies. The purpose of this paper is to develop a hybrid age-based model for imperfect PM involving maintainable and non-maintainable failure modes. The proposed hybrid model incorporates adjustment factors in both the hazard rate and effective age. PM is assumed to be imperfect. It reduces the age of the sy...

Safety integrity level 3: does your safety-instrumented system really require SIL 3?(safety integrity levels)(standards of safety)
Control Engineering ; Three safety integrity levels (SIL) were described in the ANSI/ISA-84.00.01-1996 standard. Revised standard ANSI/ISA 84.00.01-2004 (IEC 615111 mod) now includes the higher SIL 4. SILs are a measure of system performance: the higher the number, the better the safety performance, such as lower
