Preventive maintenance is an important means to extend equipment life and improve equipment reliability. Traditional preventive maintenance decision-making is often based on components or the entire system, the granularity is too large and the decision-making is not accurate enough. The meta-action unit is more refined than the component or system, so the maintenance decision-making based on the meta-action unit is more accurate. Therefore, this paper takes the meta-action unit as the research carrier, considers the imperfect preventive maintenance, based on the hybrid hazard rate model, established the imperfect preventive maintenance optimization model of the meta-action unit, and the optimization solution algorithm was given for the maintenance strategy. Finally, through numerical analysis, the validity of the model is verified, and the influence of different maintenance costs on the optimal maintenance strategy and optimal maintenance cost rate is analyzed.

Maintenance and management have substantial importance in the search of the company’s competitive advantages. In this direction, a reliability analysis of  equipments is very important for the definition of the most suitable maintenance strategy. The main goal of this paper is to assess the reliability-centered maintenance of the industrial reliability curve of a sugar cane department of an industry located in São Paulo State, Brazil. The proposed research method was based on the application of existing statistical modeling for the times between failures (TBF) of all reported equipment failures or the interruption times in the production line. These times were modeled by standard lifetime probability distributions as log-normal and Weibull distributions. The results showed that the company's strategy for preventive maintenance during the off-season is not adequate and the statistical analysis also identified important factors that affect the company's maintenance strategy. These results could be of great interest for the company and for engineering applications in general.

This paper deals with the research on method for the optimum equipment preventive maintenance strategy based on equipment reliability and equipment residual life in indirect condition monitoring. We use the Markov chain to express the equipment deterioration condition and propose the equipment reliability function; besides, study on the equipment condition probability distribution and establish the equipment residual life model by using the Bayes rule and the hidden Markov model, based on the above research background, we obtain the optimum maintenance decision criteria by analyzing the equipment maintenance strategy based on equipment reliability and equipment residual life in indirect monitoring. Finally, a case study is given to illustrate the implementation of the optimum maintenance decision criteria in indirect monitoring.

The reliability analysis of the coal mining vehicle is expounded by the application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). According to RCM, maintenance mode and service period of the equipment are determined after a logical judgment and effective analysis of equipment reliability and malfunction results. Corresponding maintenance strategies are established. It is estimated that the strategy may be further applied in equipment maintenance strategy.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of analytic network process (ANP) as a methodology to make multiple criteria decision in selecting the most appropriate maintenance strategy for organizations with critical manufacturing requirements. Design/methodology/approach Maintenance strategy selection problems are multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems which consist of many qualitative and quantitative characteristics. For solving MCDM problems, the ANP is highly recommended as it considers the interdependent influences among and between the various levels of decision attributes. In this research paper, the ANP method is used to select the optimum maintenance strategy in a cement industry in India. Findings The ANP method can be used as an effective tool for the evaluation of possible alternatives in maintenance strategy decision problems by considering the dependency among the strategic factors. Research limitations/implications As illustrated in this paper, ANP method can also be used in other industries for adopting the optimum maintenance strategy to enhance the business performance by decreasing the losses associated with equipment effectiveness. Practical implications The major contribution of this research is the successful development of the comprehensive ANP model for the cement plant. ANP model incorporates diversified variables of the cement plant supply chain and includes their interdependencies. The proposed ANP model in this paper, not only guides the decision makers in the selection of the best services but also enables them to visualize the impact of various criteria in the arrival of the final solution. Social implications The model can be extended to certain other manufacturing sectors as the future scope of research and may assist in obtaining a clear idea regarding the status of current maintenance strategies. It should be carried out with a larger number of firms in India focusing on small and medium firms to confirm these results and reinforce their applicability to these kinds of firms. Studies of such a nature would help in identifying successful organizational factors or successful maintenance practices that lead to superior performance. Originality/value This paper explores the value of implementing ANP as a decision making method in maintenance strategy, which is currently not a prevalent method.
