    Development and implementation of maintenance performance measurement system: issues and challenges2006In: Engineering Asset Management: Proceedings of the First World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM), Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology/Springer Verlag, 2006, p. 738-743Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The cost of maintenance and its influence on the total system effectiveness is too great for asset managers to ignore. The modern days asset managers need to know the relationship between the outputs from the investments in the maintenance in terms of total contribution to the business goal and the inputs to maintenance processes. In addition, without any formal measures of performance, it is difficult to plan control and improve the maintenance process. The discussion in the paper is based on some of the R &D projects being pursued at the Division of Operation and Maintenance Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, Luleå in close cooperation with infrastructure owners and asset managers in Sweden. This paper will discuss the issues and challenges associated with development, implementation of maintenance performance system and maintenance performance indicators for effective management of infrastructure and industrial assets.

    Estimation of parameter for rail degradation2006In: Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management: COMADEM 2006 ; proceedings of the 19th international congress, Luleºa, Sweden, 12 - 15 June 2006 / [ed] Uday Kumar, Luleå: Luleå tekniska universitet, 2006, p. 605-612Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Rail degradation is a significant problem for rail industries. Wear and fatigue comprises major component of rail degradation. It depends on operational conditions such as train speed, axle load, rail-wheel material type, size and profile, track construction, characteristics of bogie type, Million Gross Tonnes (MGT), curvature, traffic type, weather and environmental conditions. Development of prediction model related to those defects leading to rail breaks and/or rail replacements is vital for economic and safe operation of rail services. Estimation of parameter for failure models is necessary for accurate prediction of expected number of rail defects over a period of time based on Million Gross Tonnes (MGT) traffic, operating conditions and maintenance strategies. This paper focuses on collection and analysis of field data for various defects developed in rail track over a period of time for estimation of parameter for models predicting degradation of rails.

    Purpose - The purpose of the paper is to discuss the complex issues, obstacles and factors that can have a significant role and influence on the implementation and execution of a performance-based industrial service strategy. Design/methodology/approach - A case study has been performed the oil and gas industry which maps the issues, challenges and opportunities in the process of implementing and executing a performance-based service strategy. Findings - The study identifies differences in practice with respect to conventional as compared to performance-based contracts. Furthermore, performance factors (i.e. cost drivers, performance killers and critical success factors) of the service strategy implementation and execution process are discussed in relation to the oil and gas industry in the North Sea. A performance-based service strategy needs to be upgraded, modified and customized based on performance measurements, as well as needs, wants and preferences of the involved parties during the contract period. Practical implications - The findings and discussions will help service strategy developers, implementers and executors to recognize the importance of a focused service strategy development process for industrial services. Moreover, the paper will guide developers, implementers and executors to decide about factors that need to be considered. Originality/value - The framework discussed can be used to develop a performance-based service strategy. The results of the research will ease the process of understanding and defining the implementation and execution process of a strategy by presenting the possible performance factors in advance.

    Issues and challenges with logistics of rail maintenance2006In: Proceedings of Abstracts and Papers of The Second International Intelligent Logistics Systems Conference 2006 / [ed] Erhan Kozan, Australian Society for Operations Research , 2006, p. 16.1-16.9Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Detection and rectification of rail defects are major issues for all rail players around the world. Some of the defects include worn out rails, weld problems, internal defects, corrugations and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) intiated problems such as surface cracks, head checks, squats spalling and shelling. There are challenges to the infrastructure maintenance people with logistics for effective inspection and cost effective recitification decisions. If these issues are addressed properly then inspection and rectification decisions can reduce potential risk of rail breaks and derailments. Inspite of continous efforts by all rail operators around the world to reduce costs, a substantial amount of railway budget is spent on inspection and maintenance of rails. These costs are further increased by inaccurate logistics decisions related to maintenance and inspection personnel, equipment and planning. This paper addresses the issues and challenges related to logistics of rail maintenance with an aim to reduce costs and risk related to rail operations.

    Life cycle cost estimation of railway track sytem2006In: Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management: COMADEM 2006 ; proceedings of the 19th international congress, Luleºa, Sweden, 12 - 15 June 2006 / [ed] Uday Kumar, Luleå: Luleå tekniska universitet, 2006, p. 659-666Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Railway track is the most maintained component in any rail infrastructure. Study shows a lot of money has been spent annually for better maintenance of track world wide and eventually Life Cycle Cost for the track goes very high. Manufacturers and service providers for the track system are trying hard to bring down the LCC cost and at the same time keeping the risk involved to it as low as possible. It has been seen that maintenance and operation cost always takes a major share of any LCC analysis. In this paper the authors have attempted to describe the methods to reduce the operation and maintenance cost and hence optimise the LCC with low risk involved. Railway track system consists of major components like rail, turnout, crosstie etc. Each part needs equal attention in terms of maintenance and cost. In a broad sense low maintenance and operation cost always accounts for high reliability, proper maintenance planning and scheduling, proper main power allocation and low spare part cost. The current paper focuses on finding methods to life period determination of the track, proper scheduling of preventive maintenance/overhauling, man power allocation for maintenance, spare parts quantity determination for all the major parts of the railway track system. Eventually the authors have tried to develop software which will determine the above mentioned parameters and hence calculate the Life Cycle Cost for the track system. The software will also help in determining the critical component(s) in the track system which need(s) more attention as far as LCC is concerned.

    Maintenance performance measurement (MPM): issues and challenges2006In: Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, ISSN 1355-2511, E-ISSN 1758-7832, Vol. 12, no 3, p. 239-251Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose - The purpose of this study is to identify various issues and challenges associated with development and implementation of a maintenance performance measurement (MPM) system. Design/methodology/approach - An analytical approach is adopted to identify the issues and challenges associated with MPM. Findings - The study finds that for successful implementation of MPM all employees should be involved and all relevant issues need to be considered. Furthermore, the traditional overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) used by the companies is inadequate, as it only measures the internal effectiveness. For measuring the total maintenance effectiveness both internal and external effectiveness should be considered. Practical implications - What cannot be measured cannot be managed effectively. To manage maintenance process operating managers and asset owners need to measure the contribution of maintenance towards their business goals. This paper discusses issues and challenges associated with MPM system, there by helping the managers to take care of the pitfalls of the MPM system and advocates that managers should focus on measuring the total effectiveness of maintenance process. Originality/value - The paper presents a concept of total maintenance effectiveness with focus on both internal and external effectiveness, and integration of the hierarchical levels and multi-criteria maintenance performance indicators of MPM system.

    Maintenance performance measurement study at Banverket2006In: Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management: COMADEM 2006 ; proceedings of the 19th international congress, Luleºa, Sweden, 12 - 15 June 2006 / [ed] Uday Kumar, Luleå: Luleå tekniska universitet, 2006, p. 643-649Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Maintenance is an ongoing process for any system with the purpose to maintain given function during its lifetime. Since maintenance today is an integral part of the business process, correctly performed maintenance is known to create increased business value. However, still in various business sectors there is a great potential for continuous improvement of the maintenance process. Such improvements can be done by introducing a performance measurement system in a way that it supports the needs of core business processes, focusing on critical-strategic areas determined by the nature of the business, business concerns, and public requirements and regulations. The outcome from the maintenance process can be measured in terms of return on investments (ROI) and health, safety and environment (HSE); driven by such issues as integrity of the plant, adequate competencies, functional internal processes, and good internal and external relationships. This signifies a top-down approach underlying the importance to link the measures for operations and maintenance (i.e. the operations and maintenance performance measurement system) to overall business or organizational objectives by creating a logical cause-and-effect structure. In turn this also can be used as an effective basis to pinpoint those measures that should become ‘key performance indicators'. The final output from this is a link-and-effect model, showing how the operations and maintenance process contributes to overall business objectives. In the last years, a ROI-based framework for operations and maintenance performance measurement systems has been introduced into such industries where maintenance is performed by the company themselves. On the basis of the above, this paper presents how maintenance ROI can be adapted, measured, and linked to overall objectives in governmental appropriated organizations like the Swedish National Rail Administration (Banverket) where maintenance is outsourced.

    Abstract [en]

    Maintenance is an ongoing process for any system with the purpose to maintain its given function during its lifetime. Since maintenance is an integrated part of the business process, correctly performed maintenance creates increased business values. For this, the management must strive for continuous improvement of maintenance process. One powerful tool for this purpose is benchmarking, eg comparing own performance with best in the class or other high performance organizations and learning what they do to achieve their high level of performance. To make a successful comparison, common performance indicators must be identified and used. Performance indicators can broadly be classified as lead or lag indicators, where lead indicators are performance drivers and lag indicators are outcome measures. Today, there is a lot of performance indicators in use connected to maintenance, covering for example the area of safety, asset condition and asset reliability, maintenance performance and cost control.This paper presents two case studies, the first one deal with benchmarking the maintenance process and where as the second one compares the use of maintenance performance indicators at the Swedish National Rail Administration (Banverket). We discuss some benchmarking results indicating for example how maintenance strategies, i.e. proactive or reactive, impact the maintenance costs and the ratio of unplanned maintenance. We also emphasize that many of the maintenance performance indicators are used by various organizations abroad and thus provide Banverket an opportunity to benchmark its operation internationally to improve its performance. One of the findings in both case studies is that there are two critical parameters that are missing from the list of indicators, namely traffic volume and infrastructure age. An attempt is also made to analyze the impact of chosen indicators, as well as suggesting future maintenance indicators for future benchmarking.

    Maintenance schedule by using reliability analysis: a case study at Jajarm bauxite mine of Iran2005In: 20th World Mining Congress, November 7-11, 2005, Tehran, Iran: mining and sustainable development, Teheran: Geological Survey of Iran , 2005Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Maintenance represents a significant proportion of the overall operating costs in the mining industry. The optimal maintenance scheduling can reduce the cost of maintenance and extend equipment lifetime. Since the cost of maintenance is very high, therefore, mining industry need to reduce maintenance cost reasonably meanwhile keeping system reliability and availability high. Despite the large cost of maintenance, mine management has only given passing attention to the optimization of the maintenance process. Performance of a mine production system depends on reliability and effectiveness of maintenance strategy of the equipment. An unplanned failure can result in significantly higher repair costs than a planned maintenance or repair. Of even more important is the loss of production associated with larger equipment failures. This paper is divided into two parts. First part introduces a methodology for optimal maintenance scheduling using reliability analysis and maintenance data analysis, in the form of time between failure and time to repair distributions. In the second part we present a case study from Jajarm bauxite mine of Iran to illustrate the effectiveness of the maintenance scheduling model.

    Operating environment-based spare parts forecasting and logistics: a case study2005In: International Journal of Logistics, ISSN 1367-5567, E-ISSN 1469-848X, Vol. 8, no 2, p. 95-105Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In today's highly dynamic and constantly changing industrial environment, issues relating to product support are becoming increasingly important. However, the extent of attention given to these issues varies considerably depending on the perspective of the interested person or profession. These are likely to vary from design engineers at the conceptual stages of product development to manufacturers and users in the latter stages. Additionally, the make up a particular product support package varies according to type of system/mission, application and stages of machine/system life. The lack of timely or incomplete support is likely to cause unexpected downtimes, which in turn will lead to losses for which one is unable to compensate. Falling within the definition of product support items are spare parts. The lack of a critical spare part can cause untimely stoppage of machine/system. Forecasting of product support and spare parts requirements based on reliability and maintainability (R&M) characteristics of system/components together with system operating environment(s) is one of the most effective strategies for prevention of unplanned stoppages. In this paper the effects of environmental factors on hydraulic brake pump used in mine loaders are presented and analysed. The reliability of this non-repairable part and its operational impact are assessed for both when the environmental factors are considered and when they are ignored. From the study, it is found that the forecasting for brake pump inventory is more accurate when environmental factors are included in the calculations. These results demonstrate the value of the inclusion of environmental factors data in the product support logistics' optimisation process.

    Product support strategy: conventional versus functional products2005In: Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, ISSN 1355-2511, E-ISSN 1758-7832, Vol. 11, no 1, p. 53-67Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose - Most advanced durable industrial products need some kind of support to compensate for weaknesses in design or in product exploitation. Aims to examine different scenarios for product support and discusses approaches for development of product support strategy for conventional and functional products. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on a case study of a manufacturer of advanced durable industrial production systems. Findings - Traditionally, the customer buys, operates, and maintains equipment used in production systems. Alternatively, the customer can buy the performance, instead of the physical product. In such cases, the manufacturer is responsible for operating, maintaining, and supporting the product in addition to designing and making it. Thus, the long-term profit for both user and manufacturer will depend on the product's designed-in life cycle costs, RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and supportability) characteristics, as well as on the effectiveness and efficiency of the product exploitation and support processes. In general, product support is a source of income for the manufacturer. In a functional product scenario, the need for product support is a liability and a cost driver for the manufacturer. Hence, delivery of performance requires a fundamentally different approach for product support strategy. Originality/value - An examination of different scenarios and different approaches for manufacturers' product support strategies.

    Reliability and operating environment-based spare parts estimation approach: a case study in Kiruna Mine, Sweden2005In: Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, ISSN 1355-2511, E-ISSN 1758-7832, Vol. 11, no 2, p. 169-184Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A case study was conducted to examine system reliability and operating environment, which are two important parameters, in spare parts estimation approach. It was found that required number of spare parts could be obtained based on technical and life parameters. It was also studied that forecasting the required number of spare parts, based on technical characteristics and operating environmental conditions of a system, is one of the best ways to optimize unplanned stoppages. It is suggested that to avoid downtime regarding the unavailability of spare parts, the company should take the operating environmental factors into consideration while estimating the spare parts need.

    Abstract [en]

    Service and product support are increasingly critical elements in the achievement of customer satisfaction and winning new markets. The success of a product support strategy depends on how effectively these services are delivered. The focus of this paper is on performance enhancement through the use of service delivery strategies; critical factors in the marketing of product support and service-related contracts that in turn, foster customer satisfaction, based on industrial systems in a multinational environment Considered in the framework are product design characteristics such as reliability, maintainability, customer's organizational culture and geographical location, for functional as well as conventional products. The paper advocates an increased focus on support to customers within the framework, introduces a modified service gap model and suggests an approach that reduces any gap between expected and required services. An evaluation of service delivery performance is emphasized.

    A global framework to manage operations & maintenance(O&M) performance to condition plant health: Reflections from the norwegian oil & gas industry2004In: International Journal of COMADEM, ISSN 1363-7681, Vol. 7, no 1, p. 39-44Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Effective management of operations and maintenance performance has a significant impact on the management of oil and gas production assets. Apparently, its organization wide implications are much wider in reality than in classical cost centered views in the current oil and gas business environment. Oil and gas producers today are much keen on understanding the business impact of operations and maintenance process, but seemingly the underlying subject matter has not been fully explored and understood yet. In this paper we attempt to shed some light in this endeavor by exploring the significance of operations and maintenance performance in the current oil and gas business environment from a different viewpoint. Here we advocate that to meaningfully illustrate how operations and maintenance performance makes good business sense, the ideal point of departure is the overall value proposition of the business. Accordingly, we, elaborate how this value proposition should be brought into perspectives within production asset and operations and maintenance performance. The underlying aim is to develop a priori performance model that in turn lead to development of performance assessment systems. Elaborations in this paper are based on our observations, learning and experience within the Norwegian petroleum industry.

    Dimensioning of product support: issues, challenges, and opportunities2004In: 2004 proceedings: Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium : Los Angeles, California, USA, 26 - 29 January 2004, Piscataway, NJ: IEEE Communications Society, 2004, p. 565-570Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Dimensioning of product support is influenced by the product's designed-in characteristics, especially those related to RAMS. Based on a case study conducted in a manufacturing company that produces advanced automated production systems, this paper examines issues related to dimensioning of product support for advanced industrial products. The focus is mainly on the investigating engineering factors/parameters that influence product support strategy. In the case study, we examine various approaches and methods to integrate RAMS in combination with LCC in design work processes to arrive at the most cost effective product support strategy for industrial systems and components. Various aspects of product support strategies for functional products where the customer buys only the performance, not the physical product is studied and analyzed. In the conventional product scenario, the manufacturer benefits from selling support services, whilst this profit generating process becomes a cost and liability in the functional product scenario. It is concluded that the product support strategy for functional products will differ considerably compared to that for conventional products.

    E-maintenance: a future solution for the maintenance of mining equipments2004In: Mine Planning and Equipment Selection 2004: Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Symposium on Mine Planning and Equipment Selection, Wroclaw, Poland, 1-3 September 2004, 2004, p. 475-478Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Mining industry is facing unparalleled challenges with associated uncertainty in a global business scenario. These challenges have lead to the application of new technology (information and communication technology-ICT) together with innovative business approaches to reduce the overall costs, to bring about a change and savings in resources through enhanced overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Of late many mining companies have identified maintenance as an strategic area and have brought the business focus to increase the effectiveness of maintenance processes and organisation.. The largest problems as exist in the mining industry, is a low OEE, which is 15-25 % below the target level. To improve the OEE in the mining industry, a model of collaborative e-maintenance is discussed and demonstrated in this paper. The paper also presents a framework for the development of Collaborative eMaintenance model.

    Innovation and technology driven sustainability performance management framework (ITSPM) for the mining and minerals sector2004In: International Journal of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Environment, ISSN 1389-5265, E-ISSN 1744-5000, Vol. 18, no 2, p. 135-149Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Sustainable development (SD) has been defined as the development that lasts while also contributing to a better quality of life for everyone involved (stakeholders). This is a global concept that integrates and balances the social, economic, and environment factors. A major component of implementing the SD concepts is its governance. Activities such as training and developing standards of measuring SD (indicators) are of critical importance for control and proper implementation of SD for the mining and minerals industry in a global scale maintaining the local constraints. Achieving project sustainability satisfies a local sustainability goal, which in turn would contribute to the corporate sustainability, and then the global sustainability of a country or a region. A sustainable development framework in the form of sustainable performance management (SPM) is addressed. Implementation of SPM requires a set of indicators for measuring, monitoring, and reporting the progress. This paper emphasises the need for innovation and technology driven sustainable performance management (ITSPM) framework, encapsulated by a Multi-Stakeholder Process (MSP) for performance management and developing the relevant performance indicators.

    Maintenance of machinery: negotiating service contracts in business-to-business marketing2004In: International Journal of Service Industry Management, ISSN 0956-4233, E-ISSN 1758-6704, Vol. 15, no 3/4, p. 400-413Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    As industrial products are becoming more advanced and complex, the role of supporting services needed to exploit a product's function to an agreeable performance is becoming increasingly important To achieve the best performance, industrial customers are entering into service contracts with the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) or independent service providers. This, in turn essentially involves service contract negotiation between OEM/service provider and the client If such contracts are not negotiated carefully, it may lead to conflict and poor system Performance. To achieve a win-win situation for both parties, aspects such as what services to deliver, who is to deliver them, how they are to be delivered and received, and at which performance level, need to be considered in the negotiation process and agreed upon by both the provider and the client. A conceptual framework has been developed for service delivery negotiation process based on review of literature and analysis of results from a survey conducted to study the existing approaches being practiced by the industrial organizations to negotiate a service contract.

    Managing information is key to maintenance effectiveness2004In: Proceedings of the IMS 2004 International Conference on Intelligent Maintenance Systems, 2004Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Under present business scenario, maintenance is emerging as an important part of the strategic thinking of assets owners and infrastructure managers. To manage maintenance activities effectively, measurement of the maintenance performance is desired to be undertaken. Implementation of a successful maintenance performance management system essentially necessitates an effective management of all relevant maintenance related information. Managing information is important to enhance the effectiveness of maintenance process. Right information in right time facilitate easy and correct decision making. With the advent of ICT (information and communication technology), asset owners and managers are finding it easier to use information in an innovative manner to enhance maintenance effectiveness and thereby reduce the business risks related to production volume, quality and safety targets. A step taken towards implementation e-Maintenance concepts is one of such example, where the goal is to facilitate seamless flow of maintenance and production related information to meet the business goals. In this paper, we discuss the importance of information logistics with a special reference to management of maintenance process. While discussing various aspects of maintenance information system, a conceptual framework for e-Maintenance and performance measurement for maintenance effectiveness is discussed in this paper

    Abstract [en]

    Maintenance strategies and spare parts consumption is greatly influenced by the reliability characteristics of system or components under consideration. Any maintenance policies or spare parts planning without considering the reliability characteristics are not optimum. Therefore it is important to study and analyse the reliability characteristics before making decision concerning spare parts and maintenance planning. It is known that the operating environmental conditions in which system is to be operated, such as temperature, humidity, dust, load, voltage stress, etc. often have considerable influence on its reliability characteristics. These factors, in fact affect the failure rate of a repairable system and non-repairable components, but are usually ignored in the reliability analysis. Thus operating environment should be considered as an important factor while making decision about maintenance, spare parts planning, product support, and service delivery strategies. In general, new products are often used under conditions that are not anticipated. It is common to modify predicted life length and reliability characteristics of product by considering the environmental and other factors. The purpose is to incorporate the effect of the environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, voltage stress, etc in reliability analysis.

    Abstract [en]

    Mine operators are increasingly outsourcing non-core business processes. Often, the maintenace issue is treated as a non-core business by the mining industry. In today's business environment, many industrial operators/users are interested in buying performance rather than physical products. It is a common practice for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM)/supplier of a product to own, operate, maintain, and support his product. Product performance in general is defined in a negotiated agreement. Even in a conventionl product scenario a user/mine operator often prefers to outsource maintenance to OEMs or contractors in order to focus on core business goals. This paper reviews the recent trends in delivery of product support within segments of the mining industry. In this paper, we advocate the adoption of 'solution-selling' and 'total care solutions' into the mining industry. There appears to be a strong likehood that these concepts can benefit the mining industry. Solution selling and total care solutions are seen as applicable to the mining industry because the product/equipment utilised in this industry are specialised and often expensive. The strategies addressed in this paper support a mine operator's option to buy process instead of physical products, and the increasing demand for a total solution.

    Use of maintenance performance indicators: a case study at Banverket2004In: Proceedings of the Fifth Asia Pacific Industrial Engineering and Management Systems Conference: APIEMS 2004, 2004Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In Sweden, the national railroad system is owned and operated by the state which means that political and social considerations have to be taken in to account; e.g. safety and environmental impact as well as public demands for safe, reliable and cost-effective means of transportation. The railroad is therefore strictly governed by regulations and government legislations; containing technical limitations and financial targets, many of these are in use as performance indicators. In order to get a broader and better control of goal fulfilment, the Swedish National Rail Administration (Banverket) has introduced the balanced scorecard concept during the last year. In order to meet stakeholders' requirement, Banverket have modified the standard balanced scorecard. This paper presents a case study identifying the use of performance indicators by Banverket. We discuss the different types and forms of indicators used by Banverket. An attempt is also made to analyze the impact of such indicators on the organisational goal and strategy through a link and effect model. We also examine who owns these indicators, who uses them and for what purposes and whether these indicators conform to the recommended standards and prevalent regulations.

    Abstract [en]

    Product design and service delivery both affect service performance, and therefore a product support strategy must be defined during design stage, in terms of these two dimensions, to ensure the delivery of “promised product performance” to customers. Furthermore, product support strategy should not only be focused around product, or its operating characteristics, but also on assisting customers with services that enhance product use and add additional value to their business processes. This paper examines various issues such as reliability, availability, maintainability, and supportability (RAMS), etc., which directly or indirectly affect product support, maintenance needs and related costs on the basis of a case study conducted in a manufacturing company. The main purpose of the study was to analyse the critical issues related to the product support and service delivery strategy as being practised by the company, and to suggest means for improvements. On the basis of the case study, the paper presents an approach for design and development of product support and maintenance concepts for industrial systems in a multinational environment. The paper emphasizes that the strategy for product support should not be centred only on “product”, but should also take into account important issues such as the service delivery capability of the manufacturers, service suppliers, the capability of users' maintenance organization, etc.

    Abstract [en]

    The concept of balanced scorecard has created a lot of interest amongst the companies and strategists since its appearance in 1992. Companies, to get a balanced view of their business strategy performance are applying it and gradually, managers are trying to use this concept for efficient management of maintenance process. It is felt that balancing the different parameters of the scorecard alone will not be able to deliver the desired expectations of the management without integration of all strategic and performance parameters of the maintenance. Therefore, an integrated approach should also be applied to business strategy management, to overcome the non-optimisation of overall equipment effectiveness.In this paper, an integrated approach is applied linking the maintenance performance indicators with the corporate balanced scorecard.

    Integration of RAMS and risk analysis in product design and development work processes: case study2003In: Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, ISSN 1355-2511, E-ISSN 1758-7832, Vol. 9, no 4, p. 393-410Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Most industrial customers are looking for products that meet the functional performance needs and have predictable life cycle cost (LCC). Due to design problems and poor product support, these systems are not able to meet the customers' requirements. Major causes of customer dissatisfaction are often traced back to unexpected failures, leading to unexpected costs. However, with proper consideration of reliability, availability, maintainability and supportability (RAMS) in the design, manufacturing, and installation phases, the number of failures can be reduced and their consequences minimized. Based on a case study in a manufacturing company, an approach for integration of RAMS and risk analysis in design, development and manufacturing is presented. The importance of LCC analysis, use of feedback information, and integration of various information sources to facilitate easy RAMS implementation, in combination with risk analysis in the design phase, is discussed. An approach is suggested for integration of RAMS in the Stage Gate model for project and work process management, coordination and control, to reduce risk. A training program, developed and implemented during the study to create awareness and to improve learning and understanding of RAMS' aspects of existing and future products and processes, is also presented.

    Product support logistics based on product design characteristics and operating environment2003In: Proceedings of the 38th annual International Logistics Conference and Exhibition: SOLE 2003, Society of Logistics Engineers , 2003Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    To improve the reliability, maintainability, and supportability (RMS) of a product, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing the product performance. This factors can be user environment, human (operator) aspects like training, and technical characteristics of the product. The environmental conditions in which the equipment is to be operated, such as temperature, humidity, dust, road conditions, maintenance facilities, maintenance crew training, operators' skill, etc, often have considerable influence directly on the product reliability and indirectly on the product supportability characteristics. Thus operating environment should be seriously considered while dimensioning product support and service delivery performance strategies, since it will have an impact on operational and maintenance cost and service quality to provide product support plan in an optimal condition. Spare parts are classified, as a product support items whose availability is important when planned or unplanned maintenance is to be carried out. Forecasting the required support/spare parts based on technical characteristics and operating environmental conditions of a system, is the one of the best ways for optimizing unplanned stoppages. This paper discusses about product support (required spare part) logistics based on product design characteristics and operating environment both for conventional and functional products.

    Product support (spare parts procurement) strategy based on reliability characteristics and geographical location2003In: International Conference on Industrial Logistics: Proceedings / [ed] Lilian Barros; Petri Helo; Tauno Kekäle, Vaasa: University of Vaasa , 2003, p. 222-235Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Product support, which is also referred to after sale service to the product is important for customer because it increases the availability of the product and it assures the expected function of the product in its operational phase. It gets affected by many factors such as - reliability and maintainability characteristics and geographical location of the product. By highlighting the reliability issues and geographical distribution of product in design and manufacturing phases, the product life cycle cost (LCC) can be optimized. One of the important steps in product design is the decision making for design out maintenance (DOM) and/or designs for maintenance (DFM). The DOM alternative leads to produce high reliable, and vice versa, whereas the DFM assure the similar performance with lower reliability. However, the need for product support and spare parts must be considered in both alternatives. The forecasting of required product support and spare parts based on reliability-maintainability characteristics is one approach for the product LCC optimization. Consequently, spare parts inventory management based on geographical distribution and reliability characteristics of the product can be also used as an alternative. This article describes a method to forecast the spare part requirements based on reliability estimation of the existing product under the influence of the product-operating environment. Subsequently the management of the spare parts inventory will be discussed based on the geographical location and required performance of the product.

    Service delivery strategy for mining systems2003In: APCOM 2003: 31st International Symposium on Application of Computers and Operations Research in the Minerals Industries / [ed] F.A. Camisani-Calzolari, Johannesburg: South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2003, p. 43-47Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Product designed characteristics like reliability and maintainability affect maintenance cost, service performance, and therefore product support strategy must be defined during design stage in terms of these two dimensions. Furthermore product support and service delivery strategy has considerable influence on the total life cycle cost and the economic viability of industrial systems/products. The paper presents a concept for the development of service delivery strategy for industrial products with a special reference to mining systems. In this paper we emphasize that the strategy for product support should not be centred only on ‘product' but it should also take into account the service delivery capability of the manufacturers/suppliers and users service organization, users competence and capability, product use location, logistics and infrastructures, etc., to arrive at the best performance and economic results. Such strategy should invariably include services supporting the client apart from considering services supporting the product. The discussion in the paper is based on the experiences from the manufacturing industry engaged in manufacturing of mining systems and the observed trends in technology and management of operation and maintenance of mining systems.

    Towards a value-based view on operations and maintenance performance management2003In: Journal of Quality in Maintenance Engineering, ISSN 1355-2511, E-ISSN 1758-7832, Vol. 9, no 4, p. 333-350Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Most of the North Sea oil companies have recognized the need to adjust their management processes, including those concerned with operations and maintenance, to the changed and changing business conditions in industry at large, particularly due to the volatile oil price. This has been a rationale to review organizational operations and maintenance policies by many. This paper describes findings from a research study on operations and maintenance performance conducted in the emerging operating environment with close cooperation of leading oil and gas organizations in the Norwegian continental shelf. An attempt has been made to develop an architecture for effective management of operations and maintenance performance linking results to performance drivers. This has further been extended to apply the balanced scorecard concept. The papers emphasize on the value rather than the cost of operations and maintenance in the emerging business environment, and stresses that there is a need to move from a plant-based policy to a more or less long-term business-oriented approach.

    Process of maintenance performance management and its imperatives within the offshore petroleum industry: Part II: The principles of value based maintenance performance management2002In: SMRP Solutions, ISSN 1552-5082, no 2Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    In Part I we addressed the emerging environment for asset maintenance in terms of business prosperity and plant economics. In this series of articles we advocate that the starting point for any measurement system,in the current business environment, is the need to move away from the classical cost and profit perspective to a more value-based perspective. Accordingly, in this paper, we discuss the principles of our new concept termed "value based maintenance performance management." This intends to be a thought-provoking new concept to substantiate development of operations and maintenance performance indicators for industrial asset maintenance. This is in line with an on-going joint industry project on development and implementation of maintenance performance indicators for the petroleum industry in Norway.
