The book describes techniques, tools and models about Engineering Maintenance and Life Cycle Models, aimed at the efficient managing of assets. It presents new asset management models, namely a Holistic Diagnostic Model (HDM) and an Integrated Asset Management Support Model (IAMSM), including quantitative decision support tools for life cycle management of physical assets. It presents an overview of the Life Cycle models for replacement through a global model, with emphasis on availability and maintenance costs.
Features:
- Covers important aspects on Physical Asset Management (PAM) and offers a very developed perspective on the economic aspects.
- Presents the relationships among some maintenance Key Performance Indicators (KPI) specifically the MTTR, MTBF, Availability, and the Reserve equipment.
- Analyses models to calculate the influence of relevant variables on the withdrawal time and in the reserve size of the critical assets.
- Introduces new
