    Recently, system components and interactions between them have become more complex and this situation has made it di?cult to provide maintenance decisions. Herewith, determining e?ective decisions has played an important role. In multicomponent systems, many methodologies and strategies can be applied when a component or a system has already broken down or when it is desired to identify and avoid pro-actively defects that could lead to future failure. In dynamic systems, it is important for proactive maintenance to increase system reliability by performing early diagnosis-based maintenance activities without waiting for a problem. In this study, we focus on proactive maintenance of a complex multi-component dynamic system. Components are hidden although there exists partial observability to the decision maker. Components deteriorate in time. It is possible to replace or repair components with a given cost. We want to ?nd a policy that minimizes the total maintenance cost in a prede?ned time horizon. We propose several maintenance policies and compare the performance of these by simulating them via Dynamic Bayesian Networks on an empirical model. Furthermore, a dynamic Bayesian network is constructed for the maintenance of an endo generator system to show how the proposed methods can be implemented in real life.

    Opportunistic maintenance of complex systems using Dynamic Bayesian Networks

    With the development of industry, the complexity of systems has increased even more. Unexpected downtimes can create huge costs for companies. Therefore, choosing the appropriate maintenance strategy has become much more important to prevent profit losses. The components in the system and their dependencies can create difficulties in evaluating these strategies. Therefore, it is very important to model the system correctly for the maintenance to be applied to be effective. Bayesian networks (BNs) are highly effective in modeling complex systems and the dependencies between their components. Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) are the extended versions of BNs by adding a temporal dimension to BNs to represent the dynamic nature of the work. In this study, we presented an opportunistic maintenance framework using DBNs for CNC machines in a production facility. A CNC machine is a partially observable system that consists of many components and has dependencies between its components. We examined different CNC machines and chose the most complex one to model the maintenance problem. We divided the system into ten subsystems, and we chose the Axis System, which was the most functionally important of these subsystems, to study the maintenance problem. We identified cause-and-effect relations in the system using HAZOP analysis. Then, we used DBNs to model the aging of components and the causal relations in the system, and to calculate the probabilistic inferences. We proposed an opportunistic maintenance approach under both corrective and proactive maintenance strategies for this complex system of eleven components with stochastic dependencies among them. We developed two opportunistic maintenance policies to be used in both corrective and proactive maintenance conditions. We tackled the maintenance problem with two different objectives. One is to minimize the total cost while the other is to minimize the total downtime duration. We ran the methods with different parameters in the corrective and proactive maintenance strategies. We compared these two methods with another maintenance methodology that did not use an opportunistic approach. Finally, we determined the conditions where the proposed opportunistic maintenance strategies operated better. The results revealed that opportunistic approaches showed promising performance insituations where a planned or unplanned breakdown led to high downtime costs. Therefore, since the downtime cost in corrective maintenance was higher than that of proactive maintenance, opportunistic policies gave better results in these cases. When the downtime cost in proactive maintenance was increased, the performance of opportunistic policies in proactive maintenance also improved. These findings were also supported by the results of the scenario analysis.

    Analyzing the performance of different costBased methods for the corrective maintenance of a system in thermal power plants

    Since the age of industrialization, maintenance has always been a very crucial element for all kinds of factories and plants. With today’s increasingly developing technology, the system structure of such facilities has become more complicated, and even a small operational disruption may return huge losses in profits for the companies. In order to reduce these costs, effective maintenance planning is crucial, but at the same time, it is a difficult task because of the complexity of systems. The most important aspect of correct maintenance planning is to understand the structure of the system, not to ignore the dependencies among the components and as a result, to model the system correctly. In this way, it will be better to understand which component improves the system more when it is maintained. Undoubtedly, proactive maintenance at a scheduled time reduces costs because the scheduled maintenance prohibits high losses in profits. But the necessity of corrective maintenance, which directly affects the situation of the system and provides direct intervention when the system fails, should not be ignored. When a fault occurs in the system, if the problem is not solved immediately and proactive maintenance time is awaited, this may result in increased costs. This study proposes various maintenance methods with different efficiency measures under corrective maintenance strategy on a subsystem of a thermal power plant. To model the dependencies between the components, dynamic Bayesian Network approach is employed. The proposed maintenance methods aim to minimize the total maintenance cost in a planning horizon, as well as to find the most appropriate component to be attacked on, which improves the system reliability utmost. Performances of the methods are compared under corrective maintenance strategy. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is also applied under different cost values. Results show that all fault effect methods perform better than the replacement effect methods and this conclusion is also valid under different downtime cost values.
