Abstract

Good maintenance practices ensure high availability by reducing the likelihood failures and their consequences. Trade-off is necessary between the resources spent on maintenance and the benefits coming from the maintenance practices. This chapter focuses on the maintenance optimization issues faced in large industrial set-ups. Two different aspects of maintenance are considered, prioritizing the equipment individually as well as taking a group decision on maintenance actions. The multi objective and multi variable maintenance optimization is formulated and Genetic algorithm is attempted as the solution approach. The concepts are demonstrated with examples from a ship system.
