Description / Abstract:
SAE JA6097 ("Using a System Reliability Model to Optimize
Maintenance") shows how to determine which maintenance to perform
on a system when that system requires corrective maintenance to
achieve the lowest long-term operating cost. While this document
may focus on applications to Jet Engines and Aircraft, this
methodology could be applied to nearly any type of system. However,
it would be most effective for systems that are tightly integrated,
where a failure in any part of the system causes the entire system
to go off-line, and the process of accessing a failed component can
require additional maintenance on other unrelated components.
